On The Name Front

The other night I asked Brad what he thought of "blank" name(I'll keep the name as "blank" just in case it ends up being the one we choose). His response was, "well it's not cringe-worthy". Huh? He then said, "all the names you come up with are cringe-worthy". WAIT HOLD UP HERE! CRINGE-WORTHY? CRINGE-WORTHY NAMES FROM ME?

He must have fallen down and bumped his head. Because yours truly would never suggest a cringe-worthy name for a fur-baby. We all have different likes, maybe something I suggest isn't top notch but it's not cringe-worthy. Okay so there was a brief time I wanted to name Piper...Aggie. It was swiftly pointed out to me by my husband that we live in Texas and an Aggie is associated with Texas A&M...furthermore it was pointed out to me, this is a Texas Longhorn and TCU loving household. Only when there's no other "reasonable" choice does A&M get a few cheers. I still maintain that Aggie is not that different than Allie or Addie...but originally I was thinking of it as a slight change up from Maggie! Actually low and behold, this past December Brad's cousin and fam named their new puppy Addie. Anyway, I was never set on that name for Piper, it was only part of the brainstorming process.

Back to present day and the naming of the new little guy, just when I believe I have gotten Brad to turn the corner and ditch the superhero and comic book names he comes up with another one. Last night he was stuck on Star-Lord. Wait, is Starlord, one word or hyphenated? Or two words like this, Star Lord? I don't know? I don't care! It's not going to be this new little guy's name. When Brad tried to convince me last night how COOL the name Star-Lord is, I pointed at our fish tank in the corner of the living room and told him he was free to name any one of the fish Star-Lord/Starlord/Star Lord.

Bonus Note:  A few people already know this but I've never actually mentioned it on the blog. Brad for quite some time has wanted to honor both of the pugs by combining portions of their names into one name. Oh I know you are waiting on the edge of your seat to hear what he came up with...take the first syllable of each pug's name and put "Si" first, "Co", second....Sico....yep, pronounced Psycho! I can not begin to estimate how long I have spent trying to refocus Brad and get him to forget about Sico. He even told his co-workers that would be the name. And once again, I say, he has fallen and bumped his head because there's no way I'm going to a dog park or a grooming place, or a vet clinic with a dog named Sico. Picture it...me standing out at a dog park yelling for Sico!!!!! Oh my goodness, NO WAY! Um, on second thought don't picture that! LOL!
