Baby Names

I read an "article" in the "quality" melbourne commuter "publication" MX today that I hope will be a source of inspiration for those members of the family who will be in the market for baby names in the coming months. Lets get creative people! Here are some "celebrity" suggestions:
1. Dweezil (boy), Moon Unit (girl) and Diva Muffin (girl), care of Frank Zappa.
2. Puma (girl) and Seven Sirius (boy), thanks to singer Erykah Badu.
3. Moxie Crimefighter (girl) and Zolton (boy), the fine work of comedic magician Penn Jillette.
4. (and for my personal favourite) Pilot Inspektor (boy), the genius work of actor Jason Lee from Jake's favourite TV show "My Name is Earl"

Call me a traditionalist, but I think names should relect the popular culture. My suggestions are:
1. Gandalf the grey (boy)
2. Galadriel (girl)
3. Robot spamblocker (boy)
4. Children overboard (girl)

The above comment is the best thing that my dad has ever written. If only he'd had the foresight to call me Robot Spamblocker when I was a baby, I would now be a much more well-adjusted young person.

Robot Spamblocker Roff. I really don't think we can top that one!

Annika correct me if I am wrong, did Frank Zappa not have a Moon Unit 2.
Also I like Biblical names like Job or Judah Maccabee or if a gal, Bathsheba or Delilah. However I would also be at ease with Robot Spamblocker.

Everyone always 'talks' about Ralph and Wanda being good Roff names. Boy or girl, this is the year it happens.

Andrew, he DID call you Robot Spamblocker for the first couple of years of your life (he was ahead of his time), but then you took to putting a wicker basket on your head and so he had the foresight to stop.
