Rockstarism #180 – The Name Game

Rockstar: Mum. I think you should name the baby “poop”. Hee Hee Hee.

Me: How would you like it if I named you “poop”?

Rockstar: <still laughing> It’s funny! How about “Car”? How about “Tree”?

I continue to ignore him. Though I know at least 2 people named “Milk.” Also “Lemon” and “Wind.”

Rockstar: <seriously> I think you should name the baby Samuel.

Me: Why, where did you get that?

Rockstar: One of my friends in Putonghua class is called Samuel. It’s a really cool name. 

Me: Uh, we don’t even know if it’s a boy or girl. (I text Kings, though) .……Daddy says there was a guy he didn’t like with that name when he went to school.

Rockstar: Oh. <innocently> So then how about “poop”?

Still ignore him. Then later when I have a moment, I watch his face…

Me: You weren’t serious about “poop,” were you?

Rockstar: <pause> Nnnnaaahhhhh. It was just funny. “Red nosed reindeer”? “Signpost”? “Worm”? “Mr Happy”? Heee.

 

This could go on for awhile…..

 

Random pic - It is important to Kings that the Rockstar remembers his dad's kampung boy roots. Tree climbing - very important, apparently. But I think that looks more like a koala bear impersonation...

PS: It recently occurred to us I got pregnant while we were in Adelaide, Australia. The day we were at Lyndoch Lavender Farm I got really light-headed and dizzy in the fields and had to sit for awhile, figured it was the tea… So I was thinking of some cool place we’d visited in Adelaide that we might use for a name, except we have’t come up with anything yet… My mum already named her border collie Adeline (or was it Angeline :P)

    So in the end, will Rockstar get to have a say in the name game? 🙂
