a fun moment

so we're tossing around baby names and it gets a little ridiculous...James wrote this to our mailing list:

[Gloom] It's spelled Asswipe and pronouced ass-wee-pay

So Jyllian and I are sitting here negotiating what the little spud's
name might be. She is, of course, leaning towards irish first names with
their tenuous connection between spelling and pronunciation.

I am immediately translating the name that will be used to torment the
child in grade school.

Her: Colm
Him: Colmshot

Her: Breasel (she says it 'brayzle')
Him: Breasel the weasle or just Weasle

Of course half the names are spelled Tghnrgh or Aooliochhhh.

We've settled on Malachai (spelled Maolsheachlann)

Leave it to the Irish to come up with a language you can't pronounce
unless you have some whiskey in you.
