At some point we were watching Waiting For Guffman and liked the name Parker...and now we have one.
We have some friends that went with all Biblical names for our kids. I say that if you're going Biblical (Griffin's middle name is David...so there's that) you should go big. I'm not saying that you should name your kid God, but what's wrong with Jesus?
I know a bunch of Peters, Pauls, Davids, Johns and have even met a few guys named Moses...but no Jesus. O.K., I know one Jesus but I don't have a "Jesus" on my phone speed dial list. I'm just saying that I don't know anybody that named their kid Jesus.
It's too late for us (maybe?) but if you're thinking of baby names - let me save you $17 on a baby book - Jesus is a very respectable name. People tend to like him and while it's a very well known name, it's also a very uncommon name.
Who is going to beat up Jesus? If you're playing dodgeball against Jesus, are you really going to throw a ball at him?
Who gets invited to every birthday party and is the class president every year?
Your kid - that's who...
you're welcome
And when your kid is away at camp and they run out of Kool-Aid (but still have water), who are they gonna call?

This is fun, I could go all day.
And when immigration busts a company where he is working he will be one of the 25% mistakingly taken to jail for a couple of days based on assumption along with the actual illegal immigrants, which should be fun.
