babynamesThere was a story in the local paper today about a mom who gave birth in the back of their minivan when they weren't able to make it to the hospital in time.
First of all, they named him Grayson James Ruff (that being their last name, not a second middle name), which I'm not at all fond of, and I know the general stance in this community on Grayson and names that rhyme with it.
But now the extended family has started calling him Van. Because he was born in a van.
At least some are calling him Miles because the road where they were parked is Milestrip Pkwy. I like that better than either Van or Grayson.

What a shame to call him something stupid like Van when he has a nice name like Grayson. I like Miles though.
