What's in a Name?

How could we ever live without TBS? I just don’t know if I could. Love it. My go-to channel (aside from E!. Of course). TBS is what I live for every day from 5:00 – 6:30pm-ish and then every weekend for their constant reruns of my favorite chick flicks. Sigh. Anyway I just watched the Friends episode where Ross and Rachel try to figure out what to name their baby… and the whole episode they contemplate back and forth naming her Ruth. So suddenly the flood of emotions has come over me as I remember how it felt watching that episode with my girlfriends on a Thursday night in 2002 with utter joy and glee filling my soul as I thought that if the Friends baby was named Ruth… I would finally…. FINALLY… be vindicated after all these years for having a name that is mistaken for everyone’s Great Grandmother. But alas, no. They decided on Emma. Which, ironically enough, was simply another nail in the coffin of name bitterness for me because I have always always always wanted to name my daughter Emma… but after the Rachel/Ross baby was named Emma…. It became the most popular baby name in 2003. Devil!!! Can I catch a break? So I am going to have to continue being mistaken for your great aunt and will have to name my future daughter Shaniquoi.
