Meg had some homework to do today, so I went with her to Barnes & Noble and sat down with a monster baby name book. My task was to get through the boy names, and I wanted to try and pick at least one name from each letter of the alphabet. I had a few preconceived favorites going into the affair, so I wanted to try and broaden my thinking a bit. The results certainly range from common to unconventional.

I couldn’t always pick an acceptable name for each letter, but here’s 24 possibilities if that “Y” chromosome has made it through. Feel free to comment with favorites or suggestions of your own. But if I don’t like your suggestions, there’’s really nothing you can do about it. Ha!
