The Baby Name Face-off, The WINNER!

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

Now, I won’t say our tournament is quite as prestigious as, say, Wimbledon, but with over 70 voters, I must say it was a more successful tournament than I had expected.
Now, without further ado, the winner of the First Annual(?!) Baby Name Face-off:
Amelie
Amelie faced a host of tough competitors, but when it came to the [...]

Today’s Name: Jalebi

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

When Sarah and I were getting married, we were having a discussion about last names, and, in talking to my dad, found that our last name, Gupta, was one that he sort of “picked” when coming to the US.
According to my uncle, they grew up as “Garg”.
It’s a long story… and I’m still not sure [...]

The Wee One vs. the One Wii

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Yet another manifestation of this new chapter in our lives.

I’m not much of a gamer.
Though I’ve owned every Nintendo console since the original, I’ve played each one less and less leading up to the last console, the Gamecube, which I probably play once every 6 months. So when the new Nintendo came out, [...]

Today’s Name: It

Wednesday, October 18th, 2006

Yeah, that’s right: It.
I figured we’d find out the gender today, thus saving me from having to go head-to-head with Sarah over two gender’s worth of names. But, nooooo, “I’m comfortable like this and I ain’t movin’ my legs for the likes of you!”
So you know what? I’m not playing.
Punk kid thinks [...]

Today’s Name: Jesus

Tuesday, October 3rd, 2006

Yesterday we were hanging out with our neighbors on our back porch–ended up doing a little aparment tour. It’s pretty cool living here, lots of cool, friendly neighbors.
Anyway, since Sarah and I are going to be out of the Omaha area until the New Year, one our neighbors, Christy, wanted make sure we were [...]

Today’s Name: Rafiki

Saturday, August 26th, 2006

This is a name which comes up just about every time we talk about baby names.
It’s exotic.
It’s family friendly.
Even better, “Rafiki” means “friend”.

Today’s Name: Amir

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

I had a dream last night that we had a baby boy and decided to name him Amir.
Our rationale within the dream was that if he and Sarah hadn’t been roommates that Sarah and I wouldn’t have become friends, which means that we wouldn’t have gotten married which means that we wouldn’t have had a [...]

Today’s Names:
Ram Beau, Barbie, Gupta-1

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

(This post was originally a reply to an earlier “Today’s Name”, but since it looks like our friend Chris has put more thought into our baby’s name than we have, I believe it warrants its own post. So say “hi” to Chris everyone. He’s a man with ideas!)
Okay, I’ve come a long way [...]
