Celeb Babies

Y'all know my obession with crazy names.

I admitted to you that when I was growing up I told people my child was going to be named Evian Bouvier.

Thank God that didn't happen.

Keep in mind that the name Bouvier is still super awesome!

Anyway, have you heard about Jack Osbourne's new baby?

Pearl Clementine.

Pearl.

Clementine.

How great is that name?

So awesome!

My dog's middle name is Pearl.  I love that name so much!

And let's talk about Jessica Simpson finally popping out that kid 12 months later.

Maxwell Drew.

OMG!

LOVE!

Then there's Rebecca Woolf at Girl's Gone Child.

She has Archer, Fable, Boheme (who they call Bo) and Reverie (who they call Revi).

These names are amazing!

Milla Jovovich and Alanis Morissette both have babies named Ever.

Ever is by far my most favorite name on the planet.

I also love Henley (as in Don Henley) and Callaway (as in the gold club).

Good thing we aren't going to have anymore babes.

They might be named Henley Pearl Clementine Maxwell Drew Ever Callaway Bouvier Lafone.

Ryan thinks I am nuts.

Then, I remind him that he prefers names like Fiona and Frances.

What cool names do you like?

Evian Bouvier Lafone.

That is what I always wanted to name my little girl. Well, minus the Lafone. I didn't know Ryan until I was 15. Anyway, Evian Bouvier.

We did not use Evian and we did not use Bouvier.

But, man, I love Bouvier.

It sounds so... classy. (Maybe Jackie O made it sound that way?!)

"Come here, Bouvier."

"Stop that, Bouvier."

Ryan would not let up (I wouldn't settle for Frances or Fiona either) so my children have normal names.

Anyway, for Caroline's first Christmas she got a fish. (I mentioned him in yesterday's post.)

Being that she was not even 6 months old yet, we will say that I got a fish.

I decided to name him Bouvier.

I fed him.

I watched him swim.

I thought he had a good life.

That is... until he turned suicidal.

I decided to clean his hand-painted TV fish tank one day.

I wanted to give him some fresh water.

As I poured him from his TV into a cup, he jumped.

He did not land on the bathroom counter. Nope. He fell to the floor. The tile floor. He flopped around. I snatched him up and threw him in water. He swam around for a few minutes. Once back in the tank... he just floated.

Maybe he will live, I thought.

How about... nope he didn't.

Dead.

Gone.

Thank God Caroline was only 6 months old and doesn't remember me killing her first pet.

Tragic.

Rest in peace my sweet Bouvier. Your name was beautiful. We will remember you forever.

Especially since I want to name my next pet Bouvier too. {grin}
