This blog is fantastic. I once had a friend who worked for a phone company and we’d write limericks about the best names she’d find. We got the most mileage out of Lester Worcester. Who gives their progeny a rhyming name?

I know. A true legend. It’s sad to see him go this way. He will be missed. Thinking of writing an obituary for him for Monday’s post.

That is truly fantastic! I’ve seen a lot of great names on papers recently. I’ve been afraid to delve into that realm just yet because there is soooooo much good material! But it will happen soon, I promise…. and B.S. Babel should be proud of his/her name because that’s a fantastic one!
