Totally with wherethewildthingswere on the Twin Peaks thing. I'd freak myself out about weird TP ish things happening if I called the baby that

Katisha · 13/08/2008 21:58

Give him a nice normal name that he can choose to adapt when he's older if he wants to eg Alexander, Benedict, James...Pick something from somewhere in the family if all else fails.
