January 26, 2014: Taking Internet Baby Names To The Next Level

Plenty of us have used the Internet as a source of names, whether for characters for our games or novels, or for actual human children who will soon be coming into our lives. Stephen McLaughlin, however, is taking things a step further: he and his wife are letting the Internet name their baby. They do, however, reserve final veto rights; they don't want their baby girl to be named something inappropriate or offensive, after all. That said, the current top two contenders are "Amelia All-Spark McLaughlin" and "Cthulhu All-Spark McLaughlin". I've cast my vote, Internet; I think you know what to do.
