Friends, Family, Ladies and Gentlemen, the 2nd Annual Gupta Family Baby Name Face-off has begun!
The tournament consists of 32 names: 16 picked by Rahul and 16 picked by Sarah. We asked Tatiana if she had any ideas, and she said “ackitow” (which translates to “tractor”), so we decided she wasn’t taking this seriously enough.
Each [...]
So, obviously, this hasn’t been a good year for updating this site, but like many an earnest blogger, I intend to do better.
I was trying to come up with nice sounding excuses, like I’d rather spend time with Tatiana and Sarah than write about it, but, really, it probably comes mostly down to my travel [...]
