The strange names just keep coming in my doors here at WIC–which means the naming exercises are continuing too.
A popular naming scheme is to name your child after something related to their conception. Just think of the 5 Ws and an H and get started.

Who
(Yes, I know, this is a boring one that’s old as mud. Naming a child after his dad or granddad is nothing new. But it’s still a possibility. And it doesn’t have to just be a Junior. Consider naming your child after the person who introduced you to your baby’s daddy, or after the waitress at the restaurant where you had dinner before your baby was conceived. Did it happen during a football game? Commemorate the moment by naming your child after the MVP. Remember too, that last names make great first names–and you can always switch a letter or two to make it unique.)

I think you get the idea… :-)
Please note that all names are fictionalized. Any resemblance with actual WIC client names is entirely accidental. :-)
BAHAHA!! This is so great! (:
I actually was talking to a friend the other day who has a friend who has a “Chevy” (a little girl, mind you!) in her Sunday School class. When asked about her name she started saying, “well, this one time my mom and dad were in the back of a Chevy…” and her story was cut off. (:
I knew a girl in high school named Wynter.
