how about Hepzibah?

Even though I'm not pregnant yet, we talk about baby names all the time. This may seem obsessive (okay fine, it is) but honestly, we need to get an early start: in two and a half years of this discussion we've only found three or four names we both like.

Sometimes the debate gets a little ridiculous.

Recent email exchange, from an evening when we were both sitting in the living room, supposedly "working" on our laptops:

Me: do you like the name Olympia?
Jared: eehhh...
Me: FINE. How about HEPZIBAH?
Jared: nope
Me FINE. How about JEMIMA?
Jared: nope
Me: FINE. How about LUCINDA?
Jared: How about TIMEFORSLEEPYTIMERIGHTNOW?

[I was serious about Olympia, but not the other ones]
