Knights Becoming and a Lady in Waiting

Baby Names

DH and I like unusual names.  At least, when we choose them they're unusual.  Lately, our favorite names have been POPULAR the year after we choose them.  Hmph.  The nerve of some people!

Anyway, Angela is having a baby (hurrah!) and said she got to see her little peanut.  Maybe it's the long-term sleep deprivation (or maybe I'm just weird), but I thought she should name the little one Pistachio.  It could be a male or female name; it's pretty unique, and she could call it Tach or Chio or something as a nickname.

No? 

Well, Walnut seemed a little hard for a kid to carry around all the time.  Peanut would never get to grow up.  Almond has way too much tease-potential.  Cashew is okay, but doesn't have quite the same ring.  Hazelnut... you might as well go with Hazel and be done with it, and how original is THAT?  We won't even consider Beernuts.  Filbert has been done; Pinenut/ Pignolia... hey, Pignolia isn't bad for a girl-- except she'd be called Piggie.  Poor Piggie.

Yep, I think it will have to be Pistachio.

Don't tell me she didn't really mean to name her child after a nut.  That would just be silly.

You are soo funny!!!

This really gave me a good laugh tonight!!!!! Thank you so much for your comments on my blog. It is so nice to laugh : ) Pistachio has a nice ring to it and we were thinking of using a "P" name, so who knows?!?!?!

Thanks again!!!

I agree!

Pistachio has potential!
I went to college with a girl named Rika, (REE-kah) named after Paprika (the spice)
We like unusual names, too.
