Re: Baby names...
Just try and top this... <br /><br />My sister just named her new baby boy GOSSAMER ALTA MORTON (first-middle-last).<br /><br />Here's how it was explained to me: Tough pregnancy, high potential for miscarriage and lots of trouble along the way. Returning from Dr. visit (a good report, finally) she & hubby heard James Brown on the radio while disucssing possible Godfaters for the coming baby. Godfater Of Soul = James Brown. Letters GOS = Godfather of Soul... Roll "GOS" around in your head for a few days... come up with Gossamer. <br /><br />EVERYONE's first reaction is the same: "Hmmm... Is Gossamer a family name?". As everyone knows, that's code for "what a stupid name, are you crazy?".<br /><br />Second reaction is always along these lines: "Hmmm... is that for gossamer thread or something whispy and frilly or what?" "Isn't he a boy?". <br /><br />Mom then goes into a long discussion of how there are so many other "manly" references to gossamer. Yeah, right. Whatever.<br /><br />Oh, and since the snow ski every year at Alta Mountain, that's the middle name. He was conceived there last winter. That one I can handle.
