On the second day of Gheorghemas, Big Gheorghe gave to me...
Two names
A fat guy in a jer-sey
I knocked zwoman up again.
Yesterday we learned that we're having a girl. In honor of Gheorghemas' second day, I ask you, dear readers, to submit two names (first and middle) for zdaughter. I will christen zdaughter with the best submission (note that this is 100% not going to happen given that zwoman reserves the right to use her executive zveto in this matter).
Factors that will be considered include flourish, flow, flippancy, originality, monogram potential, alliteration, allusion, Ghostfaciacity, Buffalo Billsiness, dopeness, anything involving a Joan Harris gif, and of course Gheorgheness, as well as anything else that strikes my fancy upon review.
Please use the following format:
[first name] [middle name] zdaughter
For example, Xaviera Yasmeen zdaughter.
It's bad enough that my child will bear whatever moniker you clowns come up with, there's no need to drag her real last name into this lest someday she reenacts Marlo's "my name is my name" speech when she hears that her name was on the internet.
I look forward to your comments. Have fun, but remember ... this is my little girl you're talking about here.
Merry Gheorghemas!!

Za Za Zlastname
jacqueline urbont zdaughter
ferguson delamielleure zdaughter. she'll go by zfergie.
"danielaz" ought to be in there too somewhere.
also - congrats on the sex man! that's awwwwwwwwwsome!
that Sopranos clip is fantastic
Bonita Applebum Zdaughter
Congrats on the coming attraction!
Gabrielle Imogene Zdaughter. GIZ
These are all quite good but Teedge is the leader right now.
I just got off a call where someone barked at me "I don't know who the hell you are, sir!" and it took all my strength to avoid launching into "My name is my name!"
"WIPE THAT FACE OFF YOUR FACE"
- The DLC
Sicne you named your son after my first cat, I think you should name ZDaughter after my current cat.
Shea ZDaughter
single name - reich zdaughter. she will marry kiko alonzo, and her initials at that point will be rza.
Kemba Shabazz Zdaughter, duh.
Rob's sources on FSU leaving for Charlotte were off. Noles aren't leaving today. Winston will participate in a presser in Tallahassee at 7 pm today.
So, he's not being charged. Nobody holds a presser to talk about being charged with a felony, right?
La Duderina Znomdeguerre'
to be fair, my sources are far from unimpeachable.
i'm hunkering down for chili dogs and beers at the vienna inn this evening with various fogtb, including buck, elmo, fubsy, and hoopie. (as it turns out, we're all actually muppets.)
join us, if you like. we'll be there beginning at 6:00.
Chili dogs are near or at the top of my most overrated foods list. Come fight me.
i'm there for the camaraderie. i can take or leave the chili dogs.
mazel Zman!
and I decided to watch that Sopranos clip while eating lunch....very bad idea
2nd entry: Daenerys Targaryen Zdaughter.
Congrats!!
Zoey
Zenith
Zena
Zaria
But, really Hermione Katniss.
In news that should surprise nobody, I absolutely love chili dogs. In the summers after my freshman and sophomore years in college (when we couldn't regularly get into bars underage), some hometown friends and I would often drive around the beach under the influence of something, and then make a stop at 7-Eleven for diarrhea dogs. Essentially, we'd get the footlong and see who could put more ridiculous toppings. Chili, cheese sauce, onions, jalapenos, ketchup, mustard, crumbled chocodile bits, etc. Those meals contributed to my generally svelte physique during those years.
What I don't love are those hot dogs that came out in the 1980's that had chili in the middle. That shit was just gross.
I'm in a meeting where we are spending an hour discussing an actual cracker factory...and I have a million jokes and no one to tell them to.
congrats zman!
ezra george zdaughter
i always get confused about the gender of george eliot and ezra pound (not that this will help matters).
geoff, that sounds like the greatest meeting ever
"crumbled chocodile bits"
that's impressive
ezra *gheorghe*, dave, you fucking idiot.
Daenerys Targaryen and Katniss will be strong contenders with zwoman.
What type of crackers does the factory make? Nothing too newfangled and progressive like Combos I hope. Something conservative and tradtional like Wheat Thins or Tricuits, crackers with traditional values and family-friendly ingredients.
We have not discussed the type of cracker. Focused on how to build it/find trained workers to construct. Determined to work "big wheel down at the cracker factory" into the discussion.
I legit like some of the Game of Thrones character names...Arya, Sansa...but naming your girl that means you know as a character they will be killed off at some point.
Then I assume the cracker factory is in Iraq?
I honestly don't see Daenerys getting killed anytime soon. She has dragons fer fuck's sake.
Also, please, please pick a name from here. You will be my 2nd friend letting social media name their baby. Other one was a public FB vote/fight of Michael vs. Luke. Luke won.
so the hashtag #fsucleatchaser will be entering the lexicon
also, i heartily endorse the teej's position that certain people should have their tweeting privileges revoked in the wake of the winston announcement. nbc sports radio, for example.
nice meter in the gheorghemas day two lyric, z. woulda thought that a rap aficionado could knock that shit out of the park.
How about "two baby names" instead? I hoped Dave would propose a name in iambic pentameter but then I remembered that he hates plays (even though he teaches Shakespeare for a living).
iambic names are rare, most names are trochaic.
samantha zebra zwoman?
and i do hate plays. i like it much better when they make the shakespeare plays into movies with tanks and special effects, like richard III.
Looks like I missed a few comments. When did Marls get another cat and why did he name it after a dump in Queens (as opposed to, say, Freshkills)? Reich is quite strong. Kemba Shabazz is a no-brainer but I won't be able to sneak it past zwoman.
i would like ron burgundy to go the fuck away
Rob, TR and Zman have all exclaimed their distaste for Ron Burgundy is the second go round. Way to take a stand fellas. Definitely nobody else on the Internet taking your stance.
There once was a man named McNamiter,
With a tool of prodigious diameter,
But it wasn't the size,
That opened girls eyes, 'Twas his beat iambic pentameter.
jags! texans! what's the opposite of an exclamation point?
I haven't seen Anchorman but it's clear that Ron Burgundy is supposed to be a buffoon, and I'm not interested in buying a car because a buffoon suggests that I do so. It's like using Mr. Magoo to sell glasses or Buck to sell prophylactics.
Iambic Pentameter is for pussies!!! Dactylic Hexameter is the way forward. Go Spondees!!!
Anchorman is funny. Just waaaaay overdone at this point. I saw the first in the theater. Ill wait on this one.
zwoman got a goldfish for zson. He named it Firetruck. He will have no input on zdaughter's name.
you can't re-make The Sound of Music! c'mon man.
on anchorman - it's funny, to me anyway. Will Ferrell is a funny man, and so is ron burgundy, to me anyway. if the twitterverse wasn't constantly bemoaning the over exposure, i wouldn't consider it as over exposure. and after considering it, i don't. dodge Durango commercials and espn interview clips - 2 total, are what I've seen. there's obviously a lot more out there b/c people are riled up. it's funny. i find it funny. give me MORE ron burgundy!
i did read a quick one that the movie moguls didn't want to make anchorman 2 and that will and a couple of others fought a little extra for it. this campaign was probably a trade. ironic that it could have the opposite effect.
My wife got invited by a nice wholesome neighbor lady to get together for Carrie Underwood's Sound of Music, but she thought they were just going to be listening to a CD. She was less than thrilled when I told her what she has in store for the evening.
On another note Z, she was named by her three year old brother, so maybe Zson will come up with a good suggestion before Zsister arrives.
Um....Amsterdam is getting creative...

Zson is a far more creative name giver than my stepdaughter was at that age. Or even up until a couple of years ago.
I've thought more about the Zdaughter name. I say you pick something that allows for a nickname like Bronsolino or Action.
My daughter's name isn't very nickname friendly but luckily she has a little patch of white hair in the back of her head so I call her Sheed.
I ran this post by zwoman and Daenerys is a serious contender for a middle name. I might have to wield my zveto on that.
That name is fresh. Damn you.
hey gheorghies!
hey gheorghies zdaughter.
