Named!

[nearlyalegume.livejournal.com]

I posted this the other day, posing the question of what my new nephew might be called, and offering an invisible puppy as a prize to the person who managed to guess the name.

Well... nobody wins the puppy.  I'm surprised, because it's not as though they came up with an out-of-this-world bizarro name, either.  I would have though that someone would have guessed it, given that it's reasonably common.

Anyway, baby nephew has officially been named...

Benjamin

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.  Hubby surmised that in this case at least, because it took two days to name the baby, that it was 'a name that you choose when you really can't think of anything else.'  Certainly in this case, I tend to agree.  Oh well, it could have been a lot worse (not that they would have called him anything kre8tiv or out there anyway).

Thanks for playing my little time-wasting game!
