Baby names... part 1, undoubtedly

In honor of tomorrow's ultrasound (where we're not finding out the gender... I think...), below is the first in what will most likely be a series on baby naming in the Fear Household. What can I say, I love this part of pregnancy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I often joke with Jay that one of the main reasons I married him was for his last name. Let's face it, as much as I honor and respect my maiden name, Fear is a lot cooler - and shorter - than Teutschman. However, when it comes to naming babies, it can be a little difficult to work with. I am forever vetoing perfectly good first names based on their relationship to our last name, which any experienced baby-namer will tell you is a good practice, anyway. In our case, however, some of the combinations we've vetoed are pretty funny. Therefore, I submit to you a list of:

Baby Names That Are Permanently Out of Consideration (so don't ask!)

Noah Fear

Will Fear

Warren Fear

Neville Fear

Lucy Fear

Helen Fear

Oh, and any combination such as Isaac Michael or Ivy Margaret, due to the unfortunate initials I.M. Fear. (And no, Natalie's middle name is not Olivia.) By the way, I do realize that Bea Fear is almost a sentence and therefore should have been vetoed, but since her full name is Beatrice we went for it anyway. It was a tough decision, I assure you.

Are there any other funny "Fear" combinations you can think of, without making up first names? (Showno doesn't count, people.)
