The Name Game

We spent this last weekend camping and fishing with some close friends in the far off land known as "Lakeside". Lakeside is actually very open and green, and is especially cool if you are interested in rodeos or meth! Either way, we had a blast and we don't go camping nearly as much as we want to (as much as we talk about loving it), so I figured why not use it as the inspiration for a couple of name possibilities...

Camper- perhaps a bit too literal, but tell me your heart wouldn't melt if a little toddler in suspenders and bow tie wobbled up to you and introduced himself as Camper. Maybe it wouldn't, but maybe you're also a jerkface for judging my kid's name.

Flicker- not Flicka, like the black horse, Flicker, like the flames of a campfire. Now that I think about it, what could be manlier than naming the boy after a black horse? Flicka is also now an official option.

Steed- this is not at all camping related, but it is horse related. There is a soccer player in England named Steed and everytime I hear his name I think to myself he must have no trouble with the ladies at all. Or maybe he's just a massive dissapointment to the lasses, and has had to battle to overcome the unreal expectations that accompany such an intensely masculine name. Either way, it still makes me giggle with envy everytime I hear that name.
