signs of spring

last night after we sat on our front porch and ate toaster blueberry waffles for dinner, we walked up to hollywood video and rented "i love huckabees", which we watched sitting up in bed drinking beer.

(welcome to the exciting saturday night of not-so-hip young urbanites!)

when the actress isabelle huppert's name rolled across the screen, justin asked, "what do you think of isabella for a girl's name?"

i like the name, but i thought it was a pretty popular name, which justin wants to avoid for our children like the plague.

i pulled it up online and showed him that it was currently the 11th most popular name for newborn girls in this country, which immediately decreased its popularity with justin.

while we were there, we looked up johannes, which seems to have peaked in the decade from 1900 to 1909, and hasn't had enough occurrences since then to even make the charts, which seemed to please justin greatly.

i was just pleased to even be having that conversation.
