Well, Sour, there's also "keep trying 'til you get it right....."

There are so many ways of doing a job - the end result is what we seek. "You do it your way, and I'll do it mine."

Whalon is a horrible name for a child, and naming him that will doom him to a lifetime of wearing big glasses and suspenders and not having a girlfriend. Luke is better, it's says cool and swept-back hair and wife with a law degree.

I can see it now in the schoolyard (do kids still have school yards or is that PC unacceptable?). Hey, guys, let's whale on 'Whalon'.

"With age comes experience."

I think Luke will be his name. I'm already calling him that. I liked "Liam" as well, but it sounds ridiculous with MFB's accent.

 

[sourland]

Em, you just made me laugh. I pictured Terry saying 'Liam'.

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Sour, as you pictured it is exactly how it sounds. I literally nixed the name the first time I heard him say it. Can you imagine him yelling that across the yard?

Tell MFB that it is like a limb on a tree. He should get close with that.

Well, I sure hope no one named Whalon is reading any of these posts!

Having said that...sorry to all of you Whalons' out there...I like, Luke!

 

[EmtheFishLady]

Maybe I should start a thread with a "Name the Queen's baby" poll?

Sorry, I just can't say "Whalon" with a straight face. I know he's famous and all, but come on now. "Cash Wrangler" was another idea of his...MFB is good at a lot of things, but baby naming ain't one.

Luke? Whalon?

Why not just use a normal Mississippi - sounding name?
Like Dude, or Bubba, or Bro?

You can even name him after his dad...Farmer Dude, Farmer
Bubba or Farmer Bro... all respectable southern names.

I bet Terry has those names in the family already. Wouldn't surprise
me if he even has an Aunt Bubba...

Or even better, since I think we all met here at BYC....
maybe a chicken name is fitting....
