Baby Name

please do

w00t! This one always makes me giggle

It was the first day of school, and all the little first-graders came to school with a card around their neck with their name on. One small boy's card read "Fruit Stand". The teacher found this a a little unusual, but this was back in the 70s when every other hippy child was called Moonbeam or Sunflower or Raindance. He was quite shy, and didn't react much when talked to, but lots of kids are shy in the beginning.

The day over, he was ready to take the school bus home, and the driver asked where he was going. Little Fruit Stand just looked at him and pointed at the card round his neck. The driver turned it over, and there on the other side, printed in neat letters, was the name "Anthony".

again, a guffaw from me.

Fruit Stands parents were just recycling

Nice Name.

I knew a kid in high school named Bear. He was a real sweetie and a hugger.
It's a good legacy to give to a boy.

I know a guy named David (real normal, average name), he is in his 30's. His current nickname is "giggles". I don't think one's name has much to do with nicknames and various childhood torments. Although, for rhyming purposes, maybe.... anyway, I really like Bear, but you probably don't care too much about my (random stranger) opinion. Either way, congratulations and best wishes for your family and Bear (it really is a very huggable name)

Awww, congratulations. Enjoy your little cuddle bear.
