Baby Names

Every young girl dreams of the following things: the boy of her dreams proposing with a gorgeous ring, a beautiful wedding, and the day she brings home a little bundle of her own... her first flat screen TV, so she and her newborn child can snuggle up on the couch for a little breastfeeding/Celebrity Apprentice.
I have created Official Baby Name Lists for as long as I can remember. There have definitely been some doozies on there, which I won't list here for fear of some expecting mother seeing them listed and actually considering them for her upcoming infant. However, I have settled on the following names as the Ultimate, Official Baby Name List That Finally Counts Because Now I'm An Adult of Child-Bearing/Rearing Age.
The italics signify ones that if I happened to choose for my darling bouncing baby, my mother would curse and tease me for the rest of my days.
Boys:
Theodore (Theo) Apollo
Knox Bartholomew
Miles Brent
Elliott Roark
Archer Thomas

Matilda Jo
Ramona Lily
Clementine Mae
Cora Dominique
Olive Charlotte


Yes, they're a little funky. But I have this thing--I want to name my kid after someone that meant something to me, so every one of these contains a fictional character name from a book I cherish. And no, I'm not hoping for that many children, unless they come with a dowry and a handful of fun little yellow pills.
(You don't think I could get away with a daughter named Medea Boudicca, do you? Or a son named Thor? Come on, they'll be natural warriors!)
