what's in a name

say hello to lewis and penny. just some of NASA's seemingly inanimate friends hahaha. i thought of giving them a share of the 'limelight' here in my blog after i introduced anjo yesterday XP

lewis is here by special request, actually (yan, ate wosa.. nandito na si lewis ha). and penny is.. hmm.. well, she's still guarding wyjel hahaha. there are other NASA pets/friends not posted here (like paulo's cow - er.. i forgot its name; and geia's teddies, etc.) liz has zephyr and i have phoelix. hahaha. bottom line: we have lots of friends - aliens, (seemingly) inanimate, imaginary - but very few of them are actually people XD

i was chatting with liz earlier today, and somehow we got to talking about names. (hmm. nagsimula ata yan sa usapan tungkol sa pagiging 'oxymoronic' ng mga nasaean.. but i digress yet again) her dad has the same name as his father and several cousins, i think. they're all 'willy' hahaha. i told her, if i had kids, i might name them all 'lizbeth' - with minor spelling variations, that is: lizbeth, lisbeth, lisbet, leesbet, leezbette, lizbhet, lhisbet.. hahahaha!! XP

then again, it might be cool to put a pattern to the names of your kids - if only to let the world know that they, indeed, are yours. for example, you can name them ampersand, octothorp and at sign hahaha. or if you're feeling nerdy, you might opt to give them names like sine, tangent, theta and secant. then again, you might simply want to name them a, b, c, d, ... and so on 'til you get to z (er. 26 kids?!? hahaha)

nyahahaha. kids and names. sheesh. my brain is working on a totally different frequency today XP
