You'll end up with kids named Cingular Wireless and Ford F-150.
Well Cingular Wireless's nickname could be Cin (if girl) or Ira.
Ford is a perfectly acceptable boys name.
I'd worry more about 3Com or Qualcomm.
Willow: Yikes. Imagine the things...Buffy: No! Stop imagining! All of you! Xander: Already got the visual.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
ita, Happy Birthday!

Q could work. I got nothing for 3Com though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Kat, you cracking me up.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It'd be okay. The problem would come when you had to keep changing the kid's name every other month when a new version of the product came out.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, back from my Most Excellent Evening. Guess what I was doing--skating with a Buffista. Wiach Buffista, you may ask? I won't tell her name, but she defines AWESOME.
Let the jealousy begin.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sufficiently jealous. Are we allowed to guess?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Could it be someone with a birthday today?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A co-worker had a relative who lived alone and died by slipping in the tub and cracking their skull. It took several days for someone to realize she was missing/dead and find her body.
This would be me, except when I missed a day of krav they'd send the cavalry over.
Kat, your kids will be teased mercilessly anyway, or be the teasers. The names will have little to do with which side they fall on.
There was cake. Also a little singing. Nice cake, though. Chocolate. And a candle. I haven't blown out a candle on my birthday in a gazillion years.

Hooray for cake! I had a two-bite carrot cake this evening in your honor, and because I wanted it. It sounds like your birthday was perfectly pleasant.

Not someone with a birthday, awesome though she is. The hint was that she DEFINES awesome.
