GTB and I are both home sick, which means we’re currently absorbing the wise and entertaining Today show. We just saw a segment about what NOT to name your baby. Of course, we watched with great interest. They covered the usual offenders: Ima Hooker, Mary A. Belcher. But then they got to a category I’d never thought of before, shockingly: punctuation and grammar.

As they recounted actual census records of kids named Colon, Vowell, and Verse, GTB must have sensed my excitement. “No!” he exclaimed.

“Honey, come on. Don’t you think Apostrophe B. would be cute?” I asked.

He didn’t.

I’m gonna run the idea by him again in a few weeks. I think it’ll grow on him. Otherwise, I’ll start trying for Subject-Verb Agreement B.
