Warning: totally addictive

baby namesThe art department at work is pregnant. When I say that, I’m talking about the deputy art director Renae, who is pregnant, and the art director, whose wife is pregnant. We all sit next to each other so there’s been lots of baby talk recently. One topic that got us distracted for, well, far too long was names. Renae knows that she’s having a boy whereas Chris and his wife have decided not to find out until the birth. Chris likes traditional names whereas Renae favours slightly more quirky choices. And so we put them all to the test on this completely addictive computer graph program set up by the NSW Government. Basically you type in the name you’re thinking about and you can see whether it’s gaining popularity or on the way out. Truly, once you start you won’t be able to stop.

Very addicting. I was surprised I couldn’t find my son’s name there (Carter). Although I’m starting to worry that his name might be transitioning into a girl’s name.
