GF already called dibs on the name if it's a girl (Rebecca). She is willing to consider Thelonious as a middle name, though. For my part I'm willing to compromise and go with Pannonica (as in Monk's, and Bird's, patron, the Baroness de Koenigswarter) if she has a girl. See, I'm really not that difficult.
Misha, did you see the comedy stylings of Paul Simms, a.k.a, Mr. Newsradio, in this week's New Yorker?
Sadly, my wife has declared Thelonious, Miles, and Lemmy off-limits for kids' names.
Langford Childs has a nice ring to it. How would she feel about that?
Really must leave... but first will go off on a name tangent. One of the great things about seeing Dr. Strangelove on a big screen is that you can actually read Keenan Wynn's nametag, so that I now know that perhaps my all-time favorite character name is "Col. Bat Guano" ("If that's really your name."), not "Col. Batguano". I know you're delighted I shared that and are dying for more gems from my odd little mind, but I must go to a Canada Day party.
Any opinions on The Killers? I've heard two of their songs and think I might like the whole CD.
Do they do the "somebody told me you had a boyfriend who looked like a girlfriend that I had..." song? If that's them, I've only heard that song so I can't tell you anything about the CD but I can recommend some Pulp, whom you might also like if you haven't discovered that already.
I have all this Pulp on an mp3 CD someone gave me (like two or three years ago) but I haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.
I'm generally not a big Britpop fan (Lord spare me from Oasis), but I do like Pulp.

Raymond Douglas Childs has a nice ring to it...

Blur's where it's happening, bay-bee.
