The Very Latest In Family Traditions
My friend, who’s parents named him and his sister after characters on the 1960’s supernatural soap opera Dark Shadows, became a first-time father yesterday. His darling daughter is named after a character on two WB 1990’s supernatural soap opera-y type series, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.
It kind of makes me wonder what supernatural soap opera will be the cult hit 30 years from now.
Anyway, congrats, 2Cool!

Hee, pop culture is so pervasive. I wonder how many people will be naming their children “Logan” after the sexy bad boy on Veronica Mars… I bet a lot!
Congrats to your friend. Did I tell you my hub and I just became an uncle and aunt for the first time? His sister had a baby girl on 4/6! She’s in California, so we won’t see her until at least July, for the christening.

Congrats!
What surprised me was the friend’s cousins who named their son Anakin. Why would you do that to a kid?

Oh dear. That is awful. I just pray they don’t call him “Annie.”

Might as well put a big sign over him announcing his parents are geeks. The best he can hope for is to end up in class with some of the kids from the cast of Friends so he’ll blend in.
