UPDATE: Thanks for all of the comments – I could fill up another year writing about all of the great ideas! But for the moment, let me announce the winner who gets to fill up a week. As selected by the random number generator at Random.Org, the winner is commenter #18: Liz, who suggested Leonie or Lark. Liz, I’ll be in touch via email so we can talk about your five picks!
I’ve been thinking of how to celebrate my 1,000th post. Have you all over for brunch? Wouldn’t work – I don’t have that many forks.
But then I remembered back in the day, when MTV would be “taken over” by Duran Duran or Britney Spears for a few hours. The pop star in charge would choose the playlist, which would look something like the regular rotation anyhow, but would always have a few surprises. I was a tweenaged MTV junkie, so I remember eagerly anticipating some of those mini-thons. I always thought about what I’d play, because hey, who doesn’t want to be in charge?
Now’s your chance to take something over, and that would be the Baby Names of the Day list for the week of December 27 – the last week of the year. You can choose five names, any five names, from classics like Elizabeth and William, to the wackiest appellations under the sun. Want me to write about Nevaeh? I’ll do it – if you win!
Enter by leaving a comment here with one of the names that you might choose. I won’t hold you to it! The winner will be chosen by random drawing using the widget at random.org and announced next Saturday, 9/18.
If it is your first comment, your comment won’t appear immediately. But I’d be delighted to hear from you, too.
