I always loved the Seinfeld episode where George decided his son would be named Seven and then promptly had it stolen by the pregnant couple. I think about the same time they came out with Seven of Nine as the character name on Star Trek.

I remember two of them - Frances and Emily. And I actually had other names for boys - Henry and Max. <BR/>However, I never considered having more children just to be able to use those names!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14110235078325434919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381811875173852585.post-53773385213973911682008-01-24T09:44:00.000-08:002008-01-24T09:44:00.000-08:00I went through a Greek mythology phase that lasted...I went through a Greek mythology phase that lasted for years.

When I was a child I would have given a kidney and my spleen to change my name to "Josephine Victoria Emmaline." Then I had children and had "Justine" and "Bridget" reserved for the girl I never got to have. All boys. All good, solid names that anybody over the age of 70 would recognize and specify their gender.
