We told the kids that we were going to be having a new baby this fall. Geetle is ready to pop with excitement. Pookie and Geetle were happy to talk about baby names with us once they got going.
You probably won’t find many of these names on any Top 100 Baby Names lists but here are the baby names my kids would give a baby if they had their way. One important thing to remember is that the kids seem pretty certain it is going to be a baby girl and these are still the baby names they came up with.
- Susie
- Humpty Dumpty
- Horner Corner
- Rusty (pronounced Rrrrrusty)
- Baby David
- Hearty
- Demille
- Clifford
- Snowman
- Schree
- Aaliyah
- Brian Batado
- Girlella
- Miss Kendra (Pookie’s preschool teacher that is dearly missed since she her student teaching assignment is done)
- Corny
- Juiceboxdito
- Rosa
For anybody that is worried, we have not given final baby naming rights permission to the kids yet.

Girlie Girl thinks you should name the baby Sprinkle Sparkle.
We’ll add it to the list. I think that would could end up being pretty popular with Geetle.
New suggestion this morning: Kee-po.
And she is really lobbying for Rosa. She tried a guilt trip approach this morning. “How come you don’t like the name Rosa? Don’t you like Rosa on my bus?”
My friends asked ther 2 (3? 4?) boys what they should name their new baby girl.
Hot dog head.
They went with Laura, I think.
Wow, what imaginations. Juiceboxdito is hysterical.
I took such abuse as a kid for my name. Trust me, kids don’t need extra baggage of stupid names while growing up and trying to fit in. Stick with the good old fashioned, pretty, traditionally-spelled names for a girl.
I suggest you avoid:
- fruit (Apple)
- month/season (April, Summer)
- weather (Sky, Sunny), or
- lint between toes
As they joked on Seinfeld, preferably anything that doesn’t rhyme with female anatomy. (“Mulva?”)
Good luck!
I knew a Stormy Dawn Shortreed in the military. I also thought that was pretty groovy. I also knew another girl that was in our tech school class whose last name was Glass. She married a man with a last name of Shellhorse and became Glass-Shellhorse.
Names can be so much fun.
