Gratuitous Baby Picture

Just for the heck of it.





Also, I don't know if you noticed (I didn't until after her name was official), but my new daughter is apparently named after two computer programming languages: Ada, and Pascal. To be fair, we did add an extra letter to each name, so we've got that going for us.



If we end up having another son, I'm thinking about naming him Cobol Fortran. Or maybe Assembly C++.

She is aDORable!!!!! Thanks for the pic, man! :-D

And also, Cobol Fortran would be an awesome name for a boy. 'Specially since every Battlestar Galactica weenie in the world would immediately identify him with the Lords of Kobol, who were, like, gods, unless they were just myths.

But for consistency's sake, you should probably consider mixing it up a bit - perhaps Cobold Fortrane. 'Cause then you get "bold" in there too. So he'd have that going for him.

Yes, yes, your daughter's adorable. But the conversation, Stav, was about geeky names for the boy. The picture's just there as a bait-and-switch for all his girly readers.

I would like to suggest a bold move in a different direction: unix commands. Or even Unix commands combined with programming languages. The possibilities are mindboggling:

Python Cron
Java Diff
Grep Ruby
Ajax Cat

I think you're missing a whole universe of flavor, dude. To be fair, Cobold Fortrane actually works for me because it reminds me of the abominable Andrew Dice Clay movie/vehicle The Adventures of Ford Fairlane. That's a pretty gnarly mantle for your hypothetical son to inherit.
