Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

Baby Names- Part 2- Name That Baby contest!

Okay, in my last post I mentioned that Angela is having a baby.  While I'm still really rooting for the name Pistachio (and Angela didn't immediately have me hauled away by the baby name police), I thought to be fair we should give her lots of options to choose from.  I mean, it's really hard to choose a name for a fifth child.  At the very least, the name might get honorable mention as a middle name.

So, warm up those atrophied creative muscles.  Limber up your linguistic ligaments.  I want to have a contest!

Post (as a comment) your baby name for Angela's baby.  Oh, did I mention that it has to be a nut?  Now I realize that some of you are far too creative to take "nut" as a protein-packed tidbit that grows on a tree, so you can use any type of nut that suits you.  If Angela feels up to it, I'll let her choose her favorite.  If she doesn't, I'll let the three Princes choose their favorite, which means you might want to include bugs, candy, or action figures in the name somewhere (while still sticking with the nut theme).

I know you all want a prize.  In fact, many of you have only read this far to see if the prize is worth all this babble, let alone all the effort of coming up with a nutty name.  The prize, of course is...

NUTS

A few little rules.  You can't use my husband or any of my children as the answer.  They're MY nuts, thank you very much, and trademarked, copyrighted, and all rights reserved.  Pistachio is already taken, too. 

Please give a reason for your nut choice.  I mean, you don't have to go into your childhood or anything, but there should at least be some attempt to convince Angela that your name is the best name for her precious seedling.

You can enter as many times as you want.  You can post your answer here or on your own blog (but leave a comment here so I know to go look).  Best yet, you can go to Angela's blog and leave her an encouraging note AND a good name.  In fact, just to show I'm an equal opportunity contestant... contester... er, BLOGGER, you can post all three locations if you want (but you can only win once, no matter how many places you post a winning entry).

So get cracking... and go hug Angela and congratulate her on her sweet baby-in-the-shell!

I choose...

I wasn't here fast enough. I was going to say Macadamia. I'll still say it, my official votes are:
girl ~ Macadamia. Boy ~ Macadamian. It has a sort of Scottish feel, maybe?
Plus you can make really good treats by mixing macadamia nut butter with powdered sugar, a little tiny bit of salt, and dipping it all in chocolate. And a good asian dressing using Macadamia nut butter. Such a versatile and expensive nut. At least in this area. So that's my pick and I'm sticking by it.

TOO FUNNY!!!
