Hey, thanks for the promo! Suggestions are welcome, because we are having an awful time coming up with a name. Probably stressing way too much about it.

Congrats to Photoquilty!

You could definitely be right. We really shouldn’t be blaming the celebrity. The really, really hot celebrity.

Just look at him!

Just a note: the second one isn’t my photobucket account. I just googled Brandon and linked to the most gorgeous pictures. *guilty smile*

Mookie, you definitely have a point! But he really is so hot; I hate to blame him. Maybe it’s the wife that picks the names. Isn’t that usually how it is? Maybe she’s the one who thinks Flowers might sissify her guys.

Okay, I’ve friended (that’s awkward sounding) you, Abby. Watch out, because Facebook is the easiest way to waste time I’ve ever found.

To everyone else, thanks for indulging me – I mean congratulating me.

Congratulations, Photoquilty! I’m so excited for you.

And d’oh. I really am new to FB – I hadn’t even thought of it. I’m Abby Sandel – if you friend me, I’ll friend you back. (Is that the right terminology?)

At my own blog (the link to the applicable post is below) I posted my comments on the thought that a masculine name for a girl will help her make more money:

(If you aren’t familiar with the generational terminology that I use, it’s the ones used by William Strauss and Neil Howe who are authors of several books on the subject.)

I read that article about boys names on girls and I just hope that this doesn’t push more people to give boys names on girls. We already have enough Madisons and Ashleys (no offense to the people with those names) but I fear there may be a day when no name is usable for a boy because it has become a girls name.

Congratulations Photoquilty! How exciting.

I just wanted to add that it seems like Brandon keeps sticking oh-so-very-masculine names on his kid, to outweigh the fact that their last name is Flowers. Ammon Flowers, Gunner Flowers… Makes it look like he really, really wants his boys to be boyish.
