I'm really having trouble dredging up any surprise that Detroit is the number 2 most depressed city in the US.
"Tu Morrow"? Why would you do that to a child?
Right. Sir. Honey.

Daddy didn't have a middle name. I've begun to wonder if the name he always used was his original middle name, because when I found his family while doing genealogy, the baby that would have been him is named Jesse, not Floyd. It's simpler to imagine that his folks changed their mind about what to call him than some bizarre tale of extra babies and my father being a year younger than he really was or something.
So he was called Floyd Jr, with no middle name, but when he joined the Army in WWII, they said he had to have a middle name. Since he was a Jr., they asked him what his father's middle name was and said, "OK, Private, you now have a middle name," and put that on all his paperwork.
Unfortunately, my mother never knew anything different about his name, and all the folks who would know died before I discovered the conundrum.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tu Morrow. For reals.
Tu.

The real question is, is this short for something? Because, irritating cuteness is okay when she's 2. When she's a prosecutor, or the second coming of Elliot Ness, I think she'll want to be called Therese, or something.

Dude, Rob Morrow is on Ellen talking about his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. For reals.
When she gets older, she should start slapping him and not stop.
She should have been named "Vic", of course.

What is even happening?
I have friends who are going to name their 2nd child (due in 6 weeks) Lolly Cinnamon - surname Darling.I am picturing a Shirley Temple character, here.
If they are fooled and it ends up being a boy, he will be named Elvis Henry "Superman" - surname Darling. I love them, but they take wacky to the extreme.Hee. Too much, juliana. May their kids share their sense of whimsy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Personally I would not name a living person after a person who died a grisly death on camera. This is why I will never have relatives named John F. Kennedy, Wallendah, or Darwin Awards.

The other weird thing about having a family middle name and using it is that people invariably think I am married and that it is a hyphenate. "Sophia" Brooks-Taylor, rather than "Sophia" Brooks Taylor.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Tu.
Which is also "you" (one person, informal) in Spanish, French, and Italian.
Just another reason for future non-stop slapping.

I have an uncle who goes by his last name, Howard. His first name is Expedite. (Though I think some people call him X.)
