Like drinking herbal tea in a yellow kitchen surrounded by friends, that is what I want this blog to be.

Names

Our culture has an interesting phenomenon of taking boy names and making them into girl names.

There are Ashley, Jody, Tracy, Taylor, Payton, Jaden, Courtney, Leslie, Michael, Laurie, Whitney, Kim, Ariel, Paris ... just to name a few

There are a few names, however, that I think are completely safe from the grasping hands of innovative parents of baby girls.

Take Ralph for instance.  Boys, that one is all yours.  And Mortimer?  Well you're welcome to that one too.  The same goes for Bob, Doug, Hank, Bruno, Cesar and Hercules.

Speaking of names, my cousin made a youtube video about how inventive Utahns have become with their names.  It's pretty funny.
