new name idea

What about naming the baby "Awesome"? I know it sounds strange, but hear me out. First of all, over the next several weeks (or less) when people ask if we have a name for our baby yet, can can say "Yes, and it's Awesome!"

At the moment of birth, the doctors and nurses will surely think we're some skate-punk couple from the Pacific Northwest when we both simultaneously yell out "Awesome!"

First few months, if any meanie strangers say something like "your baby looks funny," we can always retort with "NO, he's Awesome! And he'll always be Awesome!"

Would any preschoolers pick on a classmate name "Awesome!" I think not.

Nickname: "Awesie" [procounced like Aussie, which could work with the ladies later in life]

Middle school would be rough, but who doesn't get picked on in school for some random thing-- even if they have a normal name like Aiden, Jayden, Caden, or Zayden ; )

And finally, let's say he becomes some famous author, singer, or even a famous doctor. How would the name "Awesome!" ever become a disadvantage. He would totally kick Dr. Oz's butt, and take over that slot on Oprah. And look out Prince, Madonna, TI, JT, and Beyonce . . . here comes "Awesome!"

And we would already have some t-shirts for the parents (us) as well as any baby-sitters, or even future girlfriends.

Well, now that I think about it, maybe he'll get too big of an ego too fast. . . . Oh, alright, maybe you're right . . . perhaps we won't name him "Awesome!"
