How to Decide on a Name for Your Baby
The conversation went something like
this: “Hey honey, when we get pregnant, how about
if we name our baby Jack, if it’s a boy?”
The husband responded, that no, he indeed did NOT like
that name. As time went by, they acquired a cat. They
were having a hard time finding a name for the male
feline. Finally the husband just said, “You like
the name Jack so well, let’s give that name to
the cat. Because I am NOT having a son named Jack.”
So the couple went happily on their way, enjoying the
newlywed life and their new cat, Jack.
After a bit of time passed, the happy
couple learned they were expecting a bundle of joy to
be born later that year. They began the overwhelming
task of deciding on names. It’d be easy if the
baby was a girl. They agreed upon a girl’s name
long before they were ever married.
They poured over baby naming books;
they shared ideas; they made lists; they tried coming
up with a boy’s name using this method; then they
tried that method. Still nothing. They could not agree
on a boy’s name.
Thanks to modern technology the couple
learned that they were having a baby girl. Their naming
problem was solved! They proceeded with the remainder
of the pregnancy preparing for the baby girl who already
had a name. They even called the baby by her name as
the husband read to the pregnant belly.
But then yet another ultrasound revealed
that the little girl they had come to know and love
was actually a little boy!
The baby was scheduled to make HIS delivery
into the world in relatively short time. The parents
frantically went back to the tireless task of finding
a boy’s name they could both agree upon.
One night the husband announced that
he liked the name Jack for his son! (This is a true
story ladies … can you even imagine how you’d
feel if your husband announced this grand revelation?)
To the wife’s dismay she reminded
her husband that he was the one who did not like that
name; in fact went as far as to declare he would NOT
have a son named Jack. She then jogged his memory that
they had a cat named Jack. Jack the cat even responded
to his name.
You may have guessed the rest of the
story. The cat now has a new name. It is rather original.
The feline is now known as Kitty Cat (K.C. for short).
And they have a beautiful son named Jack.
What’s the moral of the story?
If you are having a hard time coming up with a perfect
name, you just might try the name you’ve given
to the family pet!
