I get to hear what ridiculous pseudonyms these kids have. Like Andy Kaufman characters, although his were actually wonderful.

That said, Mr. Wildknits and I did the "if I was a mean 3rd grader what could I morph this name into" before settling on a name for the oldest girl. We did go with unique, and tweaked the spelling a bit to aid pronunciation (from the original Lithuanian), but not before trying to create all kinds of horrible nicknames from it first. <br /><br />I can see the humor in your comment and I can also imagine the looks on the parent(s) faces... ;->wildknitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07512372230592596889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-59843748904628741522010-02-19T19:07:50.710-06:002010-02-19T19:07:50.710-06:00I had a former co-worker who named his son Cap bec...I had a former co-worker who named his son Cap because his wife craved cappuccino while pregnant.
