Madison Library, Madision Picnic Park, THAT Miser Madison?
I was just thinking that hands-down the best sounding month in the whole year is September. This is NOT because by birthday is in September, but I just love to to say it. It sort of floats off the tongue. So why is it that people name their children May, June, and April, but never September? At least I have never met a September. Other interesting names I have come up with: Yosemite and Paladin. I thought of Yosemite thusly:
A labmate and his wife are having a baby. They are Korean, but the baby will be born in the US, so they want to give the baby an American name as well. So he asked me for suggestions of popular names. I mentioned that Madison is a popular girls name all though I do not subscribe to it. He seemed to like it and tried it out with his last name: "Madison Park, Madison Park, Madison Park." Doesn't quite work does it? It sounds like a real park. So I suggested Yosemite Park as a joke. But I thought Yosemite would make an interesting name. NOT THAT I WOULD EVER NAME MY KID THAT. But, still it would be interesting.
Do I use the word "so" to much? Number of so's above: 4. Number Of But's that start a sentence above: 2. Ms. Vlasin would cringe.
