Scene: Check out at Walmart
Young Fort Dodge Checker: "What a cute baby. What's his name?"
Me: "Thank you. His name is Philip."
Checker: "Wow, really? Why did you pick such an old-fashioned name?"
Hmmm. I didn't think that Philip was old-fashioned, seeing how Brian has an Uncle Phillip and my father and grandfather's middle names are also Philip. This speaks volumes about Fort Dodge where many of the boy babies have names like Skyler, Destiny, or Angel
Just so you all know, apparently Brian and I aren't on the cutting edge of trendy baby names.

You have to remember you were at Walmart. Some of those people alone are questionable!!
if you ask me, that was pretty rude!
Ha! What was the checker's name?
Destiny Bickmeier just doesn't have the same ring to it. I am glad Ft. Dodge culture didn't influance your name choice. :)
My mom gets compliments all the time on how easy to pronounce her grandchildren's names are - I guess we are also old-fashioned.
