P.S. Did you really name one of your kids...Genesis? :)

Really, relevance?? OK, I'll bite cause it's a cool story of love and
loyalty, you could use a bit of both I would suspect..

Almost 30 years ago my partner and I were traveling around the country.
We were best friends, travel mates, business partners, and occasional
lovers, but we were not, and probably never would have been husband and
wife. At one point in our journey my partner became pregnant so we had
some big decisions to make. We decided that we really did love each
other more than we cared to talk about, we both wanted the child, and we
should probably take a shot at settling down, getting a house, and
raising our new family. You understand of course that this was a huge
move for the two of us, who had not really given much thought to these
issues previously so we got ourselves a place together and got ready for
our new lives. When my baby was born she was born (7lbs9oz, yeah, after
30 years I still remember) was born, we were ready, except for one
thing... We didn't have any names picked out yet.

After a day or so of her being called "Baby Ingersoll", we recognized
the huge changes that were happening in both of our life plans, and
realized that this would be a "new beginning", a "whole new world" for
the three of us. So appropriately enough, we named her Genesis.

It's really a shame Harry, that you have never known this kind of love
and devotion.... Really...






Cool story, and the best thing about you I've ever read. BTW, I wasn't
poking fun at the name, it's just that it was an unusual choice. Too bad
you spoiled your post with the cheap shot at the end, eh?

I was named after my mother's brother, a World War II casualty. My
daughter was named after my maternal grandmother, and my son was named
after his maternal great uncle. The daughter's name is also biblical and
the son's name comes from English literature.
