funny convo with my father

[breathbox.livejournal.com]

when i revealed to my dad that we'd be naming our son ocean he had this to say:

"please. no. a boy named ocean in los angeles? he's going to be SUCH a c**ksucker."

my reply?

(laughing hysterically from shock) "i know, isnt it great?"



my dad makes me laugh and laugh. i know the name ocean will impart a sense of originality as well as mystique in a person. he'll be set apart (teased, im sure will be part of that...but who isnt) as well as objectified by the reference of his name...and my whole life i have been drawn to the sea, its in my blood and the name, to me, is a symbol of something that resonates in my heart...

but hearing my dad's reaction really got me giggling. leave it to pops to really put it out there.

thanks for your sentiment. i love the names august and lennon (two names i proposed to the hubs for this boy).

his middle name is actually going to be white. its a family name. so i dont think he'll have much choice as far as mainstream goes...but im confident we can figure something out. i thought of double middle naming him, but the hubs is slow to agree...

You're welcome :)
Cool, it's great to know people like my names (but not too much, don't want them getting trendy :)).

Ah I see, that's cool too.
