I need a flash mob
If you're in this community and you don't live under a rock, you know that Jess is having a baby. She wisely avoids having a caption contest for her present glowing condition, but that does not preclude OTHER contests! I say, we need a baby-naming contest. After all, consider some qualities of the lovely Gen X couple...
They still play RPGs and Magic the Gathering
Jess autocrosses her Mini
They have a dog named Reboot
They went to Lotusphere for their vacation
Jess named her company "Solace" after the fictional locale in the Dragonlance novels
Matt is an impressive hip hop performer, while Jess is a prog rock and electronic fan.
They are famous for quoting movies to each other and their friends
Their site is called "As you wish"... as in, what Wesley says to Buttercup
So what do they name their first born? A son could easily find himself growing up as Raistlin, or Ender or Inigo. A 16-year old daughter might be getting Trillian on a driver's license, or perhaps blow out candles on a cake that reads "Happy Birthday Ripley."
How outrageous do you think they might get? Can we combine fetishes here? What's Tolkein elvish for "replica?" I bet it would sound beautiful.
What suggestions dare you make? Get over there and help me out!!

Mary contracts to 'Minnie'
Middle name something that starts with D.
Call her by her bad a$$ rapper name 'Minnie D'

Elvish for "replica", that's too funny! I started rolling when I read that! And when I say "rolling" at this point, that's kind of what I mean.
And Raistlin? Come on, we BOTH know Caramon was the ladies man.

On the other hand, as a guitar player, I'd be partial to "Fender", as in Fender Strat(ton).
