What's Your Name, Little Girl?

Dad_2A few months ago, I asked you guys for rock 'n' roll girl names. In this very SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT from the Forever Fiancee, you're about to find out why. Take it away, honey...

Hey Pop Lifers!

Sean, Kid Lulu and I are gearing up for a big life-changing event and we wanted to share it with you guys...

On January 30, we are going to welcome a new addition to the Daly clan: another baby girl who will hopefully inherit Sean’s long, hairless legs, thick, curly mane -- and my utter distaste for Funyuns!

We’re very excited and anxious to meet our new kiddo, but there’s ONE BIG PROBLEM. SD and I cannot seem to agree on a name.  Actually, it goes much deeper than that. I HATE just about every name Sean has suggested. His choices either solidify our daughter’s future career as a pole dancer (Tiki, Trixie, Dixie) or condemn her to a lifetime of "growing into" her name (Gertie, Sadie, Pearl).

This has been going on for months, and quite frankly the constant bickering and eye-rolling is starting to get to me. Our latest argument is over Maya (Sean) or Mia (me).

So what we need is an epiphany, we need a sign from God -- we need your help, people!  Give us your thoughts and maybe we will choose one of your suggested monikers for Baby Girl Daly. Remember that she arrives in 12 days. That means we have exactly 288 hours to come up with a name. Or 17,280 minutes. Or 1,036,800 seconds. But who’s counting??

So to my progeny, who may or may not have a name by the time she's born, I dedicate the She Who Shall Remain Nameless Playlist:

1) What's Your Name, Lynyrd Skynyrd
2) A Horse With No Name, America
3) The Name Of The Game, ABBA
4) Your Name Here, A.F.I.
5) My Name Is…, Eminem
6) Know My Name, Blake Lewis
7) I Don’t Even Know Your Name, Alan Jackson
8) Hallowed Be My Name, Alice Cooper
9) I Call Your Name, The Beatles
10) You Don’t Know My Name, Alicia Keys
