Baby name idea #4...

"Ro." This name would be a derivative of the word, "row", as in, "to paddle." Melissa and I both enjoy the water and all things aquatic so naturally it would be pleasant to name our child accordingly. This name would be especially useful if he or she decided to one day try out for the crew team. The coach of such a team would be a fool to not pick Ro. In mere days, Ro would win the respect of his or her teammates, or crewmates as the case may be, and I can just picture everyone cheering for young Ro after he or she led them to victory, chanting, "Yay Ro", "You are like a brother or sister to us Ro," or, "We want to be like Ro." Oh the possibilities.

If in fact Ro was wounded in a crew accident and had to be reconstructed out of metal and various alloys, we could call him or her, "Ro-bo." This name would no doubt draw comparisons to the late-great Robocop, and justly so. Ro-bo could fight crime and keep his or her family safe. That would be so special.

Things are going quite well on the home front.
Melissa is feeling well and as of yet, has not suffered any sort of morning sickness which is nice. I have almost finished editing the Immanuel Mission promo video (for John Bloom and co. in Arizona) and I will post some footage soon. It is really cool to see what the mission looks like during the school year, with the mesas covered in snow and the classrooms actually filled with students. On a related note, the Grand Canyon just opened a "Sky-Walk" above a portion of the canyon where you can walk over a bridge of sorts that has a clear walkway so you can see through to the canyon floor. No thank you.

Of course robo will be the most obvious in which to tease your future child. However, he will not be getting into those arguments until, what, 6th grade? By that time, kids really won't put ro-bo with robo cop. Kids today barely know who robo cop is. You're safe on that end.

However, Ro, pronounced Roe, will make him the root of all caviar jokes. Kids, in their cruelty, chanting things like: fish eggs, egg head, egg face, egg butt and perhaps even, male fish sperm.

So please, consider these future psychological problems your child might face if being named, Ro.

What if your child didn't have a name? Kind of like Madonna having no last name. Your kid will have no first name. He'll just be called, Bowen. And for those who think it's disrespectful to call someone by their last name, they'll call him, "hey, kid"
