Also on names, in case you guys missed it a month ago:

I want you all to know that my Bro's baby mama and my bro named their unexpected love child. . .

Zipporah.

And in the interest of full and evil disclosure, you should also know we call her "Lil Zippo."

and lol at Lil Zippo

grr_aargh · July 2010

I expect she'll be known as "Rose" when she's an adult. At least they chose a decent middle name.

triple_sevens · July 2010

Are they very religious/biblically minded?

AppleRidge · July 2010

Still makes me want one of these:

Scout05 · July 2010

Uh...yeah.

Poor kid is in for a lifetime of Zipper jokes, I fear.

Mom doesn't attend church but does go to bible study. So, um, yeah.

And I must say I find it a little ironic that an unmarried couple chose to name their child after a biblical symbol of FOLLOWING OLD TESTAMENT LAW, the woman who lopped off her son's foreskin to save her husband's life. . . and was then rewarded for doing so by being abandoned by said husband when he went on into Egypt and found a new wife.

I mean, that name has *SO* much going for it. . .

triple_sevens · July 2010

Yeah. This is a confusing one.

BBHME:

Still makes me want one of these:

You and me both, my friend. You and me both. My sushi AND Sapporo cravings have skyrocketed in the past month.

"How's baby Zipporah" (To self: Mmmmm Sapporo. Know what goes with Sapporo? Sushi. Mmmmmm. Sushi. Sushi sounds good. Beer sounds good. Sushi and Beer sound AWESOME).

Every day, man. Every day.

Finally, it is essential to note that I was expecting something like Neveah, so I am neither surprised nor disappointed.

Although it did get us to rethink "Jedidiah" as worst bible name ever.

KristysRedBarn · July 2010

Oh my. Was there any reasoning to this?

BBHME:

Still makes me want one of these:

OMG, you suck. Now I want one.

And the parents suck too. What's the next one going to be Buttonella?

grr_aargh · July 2010

Also, FYI, I asked Shell to DD a post right after the baby was born because I spelled the name wrong and it popped up right away on a Google search.

I doubt this will, so should you wish to say something delightfully flameful (cough: shell cough). . . go at it.

OCIrishBruin · July 2010

Poor kid.

ihearteddieboo · July 2010

I fear Little Zippo will be teased mercilessly on the playground. Poor Little Zippo.

eminbmore · July 2010

I... that's... I mean... wow. Poor kid. Indifferent

CarrieLeigh84 · July 2010

I'll be honest. I noticed this on your FB page, Grr, and said a silent What the flying fvck kind of name is that

You can be honest. Shell posted about it RIGHT.AWAY with a gigantic whiskey tango foxtrot.

Now that I know Mom delivered early with a 2 hour labor and left the hospital in street clothes and baby sleeps for 6 hour stretches, I don't feel terrible about merciless private b!tching. Why? Because I am mean, evil, and jealous.

Although I'm not sure I'd trade a decent taste in names for FH-dom.
