Burrell: And thanks, Megan! Yep, we's having a baby.
Is there going to be a "name the baby" poll?Uh, no. Because Monkey Pants is three kinds of wrong for an actual baby.
Sean K: You're no fun, Burrell. Monkey Pants would be a *great* name for a baby. ;)
Jesse: Monkey Pants is more of a middle name, I think, no?
ita: Oh, I smell a vote coming on!
erikaj: Definitely.
Burrell: You guys are as bad as my husband.
Amych: Wilhelmina Monkey Pants Burrell. It has a certain ring to it.
Sean K: Regardless, I have a strong suspicion that, now that you've planted that insidious seed in our heads, Monkey Pants will be the child's nickname, at least among Buffistas.
Amych: I've got it! The Voting Thread: What should we name Baby Burrell?
Jesse: Ahazueras Monkey Pants Burrell! Maimonides Monkey Pants Burrell! The possibilities are really endless... (And yes, this kind of conversation with my father is what led my mother to make sure they picked just one unisex name.)
Ellen S: Guinness Tobasco if it's a boy. Juniorella Michelob if it's a girl. I have spoken.
Sean K: Burrell will never speak to any of us again
Megan: I was thinking more like Balthazar Polgara Monkey Pants Giles. Might be too uppitty though.
Polgara: Nothing wrong with uppity. Great names = great destiny. :-D
ita: Monkey Bon Bon Pants Burrell?
Megan E: Too many Ricky Martin connotations.
Scrappy: If a girl, Buffistette Monkey Pants Burrell. If a boy, Buffisto.
Bitterchick: Back away from the Wilhelmenia.
Burrell: *looks heavenward* Sigh.
Betsy HP: Buffistina.
Jesse: Buffistina could just go by Tina, like the Albertina I went to high school with, so that's not so bad, right?
Sean K: Alouicious Monkey Pants Burrell. IJS.
Ellen: Buffisto I love this too much to wait 6 months for it. Someone needs to spawn now.
Erinaceous: Oh, {{{Burrell}}} It just gets worse. DH and I told everyone that we were naming Little Bird "Anakin Hippopotamus MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a boy and "Amidala Daffodil MyLastName HisLastName" if it was a girl. The actual potential names we kept deep dark secrets. It was especially funny for folks who weren't Star Wars fans and didn't get the names. My mom was a little disappointed as she thought "Amidala Daffodil" was pretty.
thessaly: Rufus Xavier Sasparilla?
Megan e: I just realized that this conversation totally justifies why I will never be reproducing.
Wolfram: Buffolomew Burrell. There's a boy who's gonna have friends. At least you all are talking names. My wife keeps trying to have the names conversation with me, but I'm so wait-until-the-last-minute guy.
ita: Dude. Lindsey. What other choice do you have?
kat perez: I'll stay away from baby naming cuz the only one worth anything is Pinky Tuscadero and that one's mine, all mine.
