Hey guys! It's been ages since I've been around here. How're you all doing?

Life's great over this neck of the woods - a few months ago I passed my first anniversary with my wife, and this year I started teaching maths and computing courses at my old high school. At the moment I'm on a 12 month contract but it looks like I could be here for quite some time (which is a good thing - it's a great school)!

Anyway, the big news of the moment is that Michelle is pregnant - and due to give birth to our first child in July! It's a girl. Any name suggestions? They have to sound good with "Woo". And no, I'm not naming her after a FreeSpace ship (as nerdy and cool as it would be to have "Galatea Woo" as my daughter).

This is probably a really really really bad April Fools joke but I'll bite.

Good to see you Mr Steak! Glad to hear things are going well for you.
Spoon - I stand in awe by your flawless fredding. Truely, never before have I witnessed such magnificant display of beamz.
Axem -  I don't know what I'll do with my life now. Maybe I'll become a Nun, or take up Macrame. But where ever I go... I will remember you!
Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

Hey Setekh, glad to hear that things are great with you and your wife.  I'm celebrating 1 year with my soon to be wife and can't wait to have kids.

What about Madison Woo? :)

What about "Woomeister"? ;)
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Ah, but your excuse could be that you named her after the nymph or the statue. :D

Make the name an exclamation.  Something like Yeah Woo! :p

One of my friends always suggests "Jill Amazing" whenever the subject of baby names comes up. :D

Anyway, names. Too bad it's not a boy, since William Woo would have been an awesome little Futurama reference. :p

Do you really want to name your daughter after one of those?

Remember: when naming your daughter, think of all the possible ways she could get teased in school for it.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
