Wurds

Brandon and I have always delighted in coming up with fantastic names for children. This was to be phase one of the lifetime of abuse we had planned for the offspring. I think more than one of you breathed a sigh of relief when Amelia was presented.

One of the naming resources we threatened to use was the IKEA catalog. Naturally. Well, Brandon and I were instant messaging the other day and the typos were abundant. I typed "florr" instead of "floor." I then wrote, "Florr, the new product from IKEA." This is Brandon's response:

Try new Florr. In Woud, Kaerpit and the always Swedish Neo-Moderninst Minimalistic Semi-Constructionist, Konkreet.

File that one away under "names for future consideration."
