Totally taken by surprise with a chicken. Oy.

Hi Potato Chip - Because we are brilliant people (not bragging - just a genetic fact), we are being very careful to pick her name. After all, she has to live with it the rest of her life. This is my concern: How many children have suffered the pang of disappointment when they walked into a souvenir shop only to find not ONE item, not a keychain, bicycle license plate, mug or bracelet with their name on it? I know they can make them up in the back room now, but let's face it, it's just not the same. So we stick to the tried and true names that have existed since biblical times. I once was tempted to name our dog Fido, but was bent on spelling it with a french twist: Phydeaux. The Vet's secretary cried when she tried to type her label so we named her Buddie.

For Birdie (or baby bird - girl as it says on her hospital bracelet) I've been playing with names like Joyce, Sheryl, Joanne, Oprah and Diane. My husband says Tweetie Bird, Henny or Chicklet. My sons on the other hand are coming up with names like Marsala, Kiev, Cordon Bleu, and Parmesan. I'm putting them up for adoption.
