I love naming kids. I just hate having them.

The Power of Three
I just had to log this random post. For some strange reason, in thinking about baby girl names, I've always invariably, mysteriously ended up in trios of names starting with the same alphabet. Perhaps this has something to do with the Fates and Furies, or just that there aren't generally more than 3 female baby names starting with the same alphabet that I like.

cheesy dramadies aside, 3 is a powerful number; in religion, science and literature.
it is also, for me at any rate, a symbol of stability and completeness.
(on wikipedia, the article on the number 3 is the longest of any other number by page length, with the exception of 7, which is the other number closely associated with religion, god and perfection)
whether instinct or learned behaviour, i don't think it odd at all that you find yourself leaning toward 3s.
tarentino had a thing for threes as well, if the glossy pages of trashy magazines are to be believed.

and i think you hate the IDEA of having kids, unless something has happened that you haven't blogged about.
There's very little difference between hating the idea of having kids and actually hating having them right?
Short of being knocked up and in a coma for 9 months - there's really nothing adverse that could ever happen to me in that regard.
actually, there are a number of fundemental differences between the two, with the most obvious being
1. fiction vs. reality.
this of course bleeds into two other immutable, but complimentary, rules governing the tension between fiction and reality.
1. reality is seldom ever as bad as one imagine it COULD be.
2. reality is seldom ever as good as one hoped it WOULD be.
i'd said what i did because i imagine you're having way too much fun being who you are, doing the things you do - kids would really put these adventures into a pretty big tailspin.
but i'd like to think, confronted with the reality of having kids (i.e. being knocked up and in a coma for 9 months, thereby preventing you from exercising your god-given right to choice), you'd do pretty good by little ruth, rachel and rebecca.
