Naming babies is hard though. Rocket spent several memorable hours as No-Ass McGee. (He has no ass. He is a tiny little frog baby, just like his big brother was. Now, of course, the Junebug is an enormous plump meaty toddler. When we change his underwear or diaper we silently marvel at dat ass. Was it really that small once? How many sausages have we fed this boy?) Rocket is also sometimes known as the Magneto Burrito because he spends a lot of time swaddled and squinting pouchily up at me over my boob, looking really unnervingly like a tiny Sir Ian McKellen.

I am partial to the hoopoe, Upupa Epops, but I don't think any human child could survive the third grade with a name like that.

Still. Upupa Epops. It just makes me happy to say it.

Now, please consider Upupa Epops Jr.
