Ok, I'm already feeling so guilty about not finding any time while the kids were out of school to blog-- I hope you'll forgive me. And now that I have 45 minutes to myself before I have to go volunteer with Ace's second grade class, of course, I can think of nothing to say! At least not that can be written, edited and posted in 45 minutes! I guess I'll just cover today's naming news...
I have been wondering when Bennifer (Affleck) would pop out that new baby, and here she is! Unfortunately, no name has been released. But with a Violet under their belt, one has to wonder if they'll stick to the flower theme. There are admittedly a TON to choose from... so we'll reserve judgement til the big announcement.
Although I gotta say... I'd like to see them go with color instead of bud. Like maybe Ruby or something. Or perhaps an ode to those purple-y roots with Prune. Course, she'd be the ugly sister. Maybe Plum is a better choice-- but would that step on the toes of Ms. Paltrow with her little Apple? Hey didn't they(Ben and Gwyn) date?? Ooooh-- Jen could REALLY throw down with her hubby's ex by tossing out something like Tomato! Give that stupid ol' Gwynnie a run for her apple-money-- its a fruit AND a color! Take that, Oscar Winner! Tomato Affleck. Oh, has there been anything so lovely since Zuma Rossdale? Right.
But that reminds me that on my little Christmas hiatus another (sorta) celeb popped, and I wouldn't be right for me not to mention that I must applaud her (and his) truly skillful naming of their third daughter. Angie Harmon and her football-player husband, Something Or-Other, had little Emery, who joined her big sisters, Finley and Avery.
I gotta hand it to her-- well done on the lovely harmony of the three! Take it from a mom of three boys-- it is hard to come up with three names "go" together. I certainly didn't achieve it (I blame the preganncy hormones and giving The Old Man too much input-- what does he know about naming anyway?!?!) Anyway, little Angie Harmon's brood, all with the "ee" ending, close, but different enough not to be confused. I can see them as pretty little teenagers-- Fin and Ave sashaying through the house, and Emmy following behind hoping to steal a moment alone to try on one of their bras. Anyway, well played, Angie Harmon. Well Played. Beats the shit out of Bronx Wentz (ouch! my ears!)
So If I were Jen and Ben.... already having a little Violet... for the second little girl I would go with Hazel. But I might only like the sound of that since I've got the elle and ette mix already. I agree that Angie Harmon gives a pretty good NJ... that's name job ma'am mamm :) Oh and yes... first pics are out of Bronx Wentz- the-bed! Ohhh sheesh... that was mean and evil of me... he's just a sweet baby who can't help who his parents are.

Hazel is goooood (why didn't I let YOU name my kids again??)... but Julia already had one-- wouldn't she have celeb-dibs then? I was thinking they could also go with Poppy. Or Pansy. Or Petunia. ALthough Plum is still my favorite. Either Plum or Hazel would be good. Looks like that Rebecca Romijn got in some floral choices on her twins, too. However, she made the fatal flaw of naming one a girly name (Dolly Rebecca Rose) and the other an ambisexual name (Charlie Tamara Tulip). Now on paper looks like she had a boy/girl set of twins. Shame, shame!! Should've gone with Charlotte and called her "Charlie". But, girl, you know I hate naming a kid a nickname to begin with! A better partner for Dolly? All I can think is Patsy!
As for you. You've got an elle and an ette. Next one will have to be an enne. As in Vivienne. Like I wanted to name my daughter. Who just happened to be born with too much equipment to be called Vivienne. Or you could go with Adrienne. Or, howabout Nicollienne? Sort of like Napoleon! Nah, fuck it! Go with Nicodene! (You know if its a boy your PR man will insist on a Jr! heehee!)

I am soooo far out of the loop... I didn't know Julia had a Hazel or that Romijn had TWINS! What the hell... I had heard somehow in the grapeweeds of a little Dolly born to her (thoughts of the cloned sheep and then giant mamms) but I had No idea that there were TWO! How did that whole nine months go by without me knowing? I need to get out more. Geesh-Everyone is having two now.... what it's not cool to just have one kid and wear your favorite jeans in 3 days anymore?
As for our third try at kid... we will see.... that will be sometime in March or I guess April.. or whenever we start making some cash flow again. Right now I'm just dreaming of seeing all the girls in NYC! That will be great fun!

wow! You are out of the loop! Julia had twins (yeah, like everyon ein Hollywood and their autistic brothers) named 'em Hazel and Phinneas. Then she had another boy, named him Henry. That was like two years ago. As for Rebecca-- wasn't that closely followed by the rags-- guess they don't care about her too much. Whatevs. And nowadays, youa re only cool if you have TWINS then get into your normal jeans again in three days. Single birth ain't nothin' bi-atch!
Also counting the days (after the cruise) til NYC with some GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS! (Oooh, sounds like we're going to a tit-tay bar there! Sorry!) Boston Gal talking about going to a raw food restaurant she's heard of-- you wanna try??
