I called it first.

I wrote a rather unforgiving review of What to Expect When You're Expecting (the movie).

Maybe what really is at the root of this scathing review, is the part where some screenwriters sat in a room somewhere, and barfed up a few baby names for the end of their precious cash-cow like it was no big deal. Well, I officially threw in the towel on this movie when they used OUR name for one of the characters' babies. While everyone else was in tears over the happy ending, I almost cried from sheer rage (but didn't want to start, because it would surely have continued for 45 minutes).

If one person hears my son's name and says, "aww, just like the end of that movie", they're going to get a broken nose. You've all been warned. We've had our name picked out for MONTHS, and you know it.

And if you think YOU'RE gonna name your kid Theo, and think YOU'RE original because you saw it in that cute little movie, well file your restraining order now.

Do you know how HARD it is to find a name that's awesome, but not trendy? About as hard as it is to keep people out of stupid, poorly-written, star-studded blockbusters.

We thought long and hard about a name that would be classic and becoming for a child and and an adult, something a bit off-beat--good to yell when a kid is in trouble at age 8, or say sweetly while they wiggle happily on the floor at 8 months. JUST LET ME HAVE THIS ONE THING AMERICA.

ONE THING.
