Action girl names for a (maybe?) girl

If we have a daughter, I'd like her to be brave, obnoxious, and intimidating. Towards other people, of course. She will always be sweet and cute to her pop-pop. That's the hope.

It'd be kind of cool if she had some comic-mutant abilities as well. Telekinesis would be nice when it comes to carrying the grocery or lifting me to the nearest emergency room.

But baby's got to have a name first. So to continue from yesterday's blog of baby names, I have come up with ten girlie names:

1. Alexandria
2. Dorothy
3. Elizabeth
4. Harley
5. Lana
6. Lauren
7. Madeleine
8. Natasha
9. Penelope
10. Selena

Some rejected names from well-wishing friends and family included: Leela, Antonia, and Jean Grey, Destroyer of Worlds.

Most of the names are pretty normal, save Harley. I'm not that crazy to name a kid Apple or Pilot or Rumor.

So, if all goes well, we should know the sex of the baby in a couple of months. In the meantime, I must make sure to feed wifey well and keep her happy. That means tuning out news that has to do with George W. Bush, Karl Rove, Republicans, the War in Iraq, and pretty much everything bad about America. We've been watching Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Rescue Me, and reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel.

We find that fantasyland is so much healthier for her mental health.

I like Harley but I think that the two of you should think about more names along that line.....Or if you want to go with the EVIL thing maybe Hellen.

Hellen? Why is that an evil... oh ho! I get it! Unfortunately, no one would ever spell it correctly and she'd grow up pissed off that people will always leave off the second "L".
