The Baby Name Voyager
My first thought was, "People name their kids Voyager? Like the space probe? So when they get to school, their classmates call them V'ger?"
My brain is a strange place. Yet, for Buffistas, eerily familiar.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

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

Top 100 Baby Names of 2008.
Our top picks are not on the list, which pleases me. I love looking at baby names.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'm vaguely irritated by the "boys names ending in N" trend that seems to have cropped up - our goal was never to give D a name that our special little snowflake would have all to himself, but we'd decided years ago that our first child would be named Dylan, and now we look like sheep. We're not sheep! Just ahead of the curve!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Preach it - that's why Emma got changed to Emeline around week 38.

Because books.
I'm amazed that Amy isn't on the girls' list at all. Wow. We are so out of fashion, Aims!
And Ben isn't on there in any form. Huh. Sarah is #20, but with an H.

Well it's not an "official" list - their numbers are from Babycenter members, not census data. (Trendy or not, I seriously doubt there were more Aidens born in 2008 than Michaels, you know?)

Because books.
We are.
