There’s all this talk about the possibility of Peter Jackson returning to helm the movie version of The Hobbit. So I did a search over google to find out more and stumbled upon this: The Hobbit Name Generator. You plug in your name and they give you your hobbit name. It’s senseless fun, but that’s just what we need on Wednesdays.

My Hobbit name: Lotho Millstone of Bywater

What’s yours?

And for those of you who are super geeks, you can also find your Elvish name (not Elvis name) here.

My name is:  Glorfindel Vanimedlë

I know a bunch of couples who are currently pregnant and the topic of baby name is always one that comes up. We’ve always known the names of our children, way in advance, but always tell people that we don’t name our children till their birthed. That way there’s no nay saying till it’s on the birth certificate - and near permanent.

So if you want to know our pending baby’s name… “We really don’t know it yet, you can’t name a baby properly till you actually see it. It’s a cosmic experience between you and the Lord - first laying eyes on the child - then you truly know it’s name.”  Ha ha, I’ll never tell!

Names are such an important thing. Here’s a really bad name.

I also have run into a guy with the name Richard Head. Yes, that was his given name.

So on the topic of baby names - what are some of the worst names you’ve heard?
