So, I have decided what I'm going to name my future children.

[lightningandsnow]

Well, one of them. If I have kids.

For a boy or girl, I'm going to name them Juniper.

This is because:

a) It sounds cool.
b) My brother and cousin/best friend both have names which start with J.
c) It's gender-ambiguous in case the kid gets gender confused when they grow up.
d) It's the name of a character in The Chelsea Whistle by Michelle Tea.
e) It's the name of the lead in Benny and Joon.

Am I a genius or what?

1. I hope you and the child-to-be like Donovan

Until we geezers die out, that name's an earworm for anyone of a certain age who hears it. :)

My parent's almost named me after that song but changed it to another name starting with a J. :hi:

5. A dangerous topic for the Lounge, my friend.

Dangerous indeed.

As longtime Loungers know, I was excoriated here while trying to pick out future baby names...that was back in the Spring of '06. I'm still traumatized.

7. It's pretty, but

a boy with that name might get his ass kicked. Just saying.
