Name Rejects

My sister, Zan, is crazy smart. She reads 500 page philosophy books for fun.

She's also crazy funny. I'm pretty sure the reason we were able to get over our childhood dislike of each other and become such good friends now that we're adults is because we make each other laugh. She is an expert on dry humor, black humor, wit and sarcasm. All of which are my favorites.

So it was no surprise that she sent me some of the BEST entries back when I was looking for a new blog name.

Can you tell which ones I seriously considered?

The Mammary Complex
Mamillion Complications
Eat Your Young
Nothing; It's whats for dinner
Laurella, the other white meat
Breeding; A word of caution
They can't be returned
Your momma's momma
Mommy neurotic
Mammary overdrive
Breeders anonymous
Culture momma
Awkward momma
Mother of anarchy
Fruity brain snacks
Gandhi was a poser
Kids say the most fucked up shit
Neurosis, a journey/journal
I am not drunk

Every time I read the list I laugh. My sister knows me very well and some of these are actually quite fitting! But not what I had in mind for THIS blog.

A secret blog, though, that's a different story. Not that I have one. But if I did, I'd probably pick a name from this list.

Oh, and my sister's very generous. She said to make sure you all knew that you are welcome to use any of her suggestions if one grabs your fancy!

    "Breeding: A Word of Caution"

    Amen, sister!!!

    I had a girlfriend over last night
    (unmarried) who is terrified of getting pregnant and actually going through childbirth. I had to edit VERY CAREFULLY the stories that I told her. ;-)
