Baby names

What To Name the Baby can be a question that haunts parents. Even what criteria to use (sound? links to relations? etc.) is pretty tough. Then you have to do the negative tests -- doesn't remind you of any past or current nemeses, doesn't set the kid up for terrible playground taunts, doesn't make a terrible acronym, blah blah... Anyway, just loved this test that Medley and NowThis applied (among others) to names they considered for their son:
that it be something that would work for him whether he ends up a Supreme Court Justice, a plumber, a football player, or a gay opera singer.
Perfect. Dunno what a similar list would be for a girl -- Supreme Court Justice, elementary school teacher, soccer star, and punk rocker? heh.
