I think the baby was trying desperately to bond with the doctor to keep from being named Heaven spelled backward.
Now I want to meet a kid named "Heaven-Spelled-Backward".
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

You know a discussion has gone off the rails where someone feels obliged to comment, "Richard there are many viable policies of intentional inflation that don't require genocide."

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Something about the way the bassinets are in such straight lines, with all the babies facing the same way, is freaking me out a bit. I can't explain exactly why.
It looks like they'll all in the Matrix. It looks like a human factory, where top-quality humans are produced on a tight schedule.
I would not be a good mom. I watch my BFF deal with her obstinate daughter and I know I would just lose it if I had to listen to such whining and high-pitched screeching all the time.

Who started that trend? I remember it being a brand-new idea. Now there are probably a hundred girls in America named Nevaeh. I don't get it - when we played out records backwards, it was Satanic, but spelling heaven backwards is great?

I think I remember reading that it was some rock star who started the trend. Maybe the guy from Creed? Something like that.

I did too. It's a line that always makes me cry, although less so when said by a fly.

Nevaeh is actually the 35th most popular girl's name (in 2011), with 6030 babies named that. The miss-spelling, Neveah, is also in the top 1000, and 290 girls were named that in 2011.
Apparently some Christian rock dude named Sonny Sandoval named his daughter that in 2000, and tens of thousands of people thought it was a good idea. [Edit: after watching his appearance on MTV Cribs.]
