One thing I regret about not talking to my mom anymore is that she had this incredible cake recipe - and unfortunately I have no idea what it was called - that used fruit punch as a key ingredient. It was really light and fluffy, like angel food, but also sodden wet and bright dayglo red from the juice. Soooo goood.

So a friend of mine wants to become Protestant. Right now I think they are Jewish or Russian Orthodox or something. I don't really know.
I assume she has to get Christened? Is that something Protestants do? Can anyone point me toward info?
No one other than Catholics calls Protestants Protestants, so you might be better off finding out what specific church they're interested in joining and then going from there.
We don't call them protestants.
We call them witches.
Late, but we call you idolaters.
Except we were given the Church by Jesus.
You guys just pretend.
And then you turned around and started worshiping Mary. Way to fuck it up.
Dogmatic Law and Papal Infallibility is a wonderful thing.
I need to figure out an efficient way to have a tiny device with Wikipedia on it. I know people have pulled it off, but most of the methods involve hax.
My brother and I both got biblical names even though my parents were never especially religious. My brother is continuing this tradition apparently, my niece will be named Grace after she's born in June.
Just try to avoid having relatives named Patience or Hope.
Highly unlikely, Grace was my grandmother's name. I'm actually surprised the sister-in-law went for it, as it is quite old-fashioned. Surprised, but not upset. The world could do with more Gracies and fewer MacKenzies, Mercedes, Taylors, Jordans etc. etc. etc. insert-nauseatingly-trendy-name heres.
I've always liked the names Irene and Nikolai. Also Ekaterina, and Nikita.
Just don't go with Sergei. It looks cool, but it will result in your kid being a UFC fighter, if of course he doesn't lose all those fights he'll be getting into.

I am reminded of a comic in which either Tycho or Gabe attempt to print the entire internet.

Guh... Well I intend to teach my children Savate religiously from the age of six or so.

My daughter is totally getting named "Veronica", btw, after the Elvis Costello song.
My son, I dunno. "Blue Monday" doesn't quite work.

How about downloading a current version of the wikipedia database and putting it on your tiny device?

It would have to be editable, or you'd be stuck with all the vandalism that happened to be there.

Like I said, I love the name Jezebel, so if I ever had a daughter, I would be torn by, on one hand, wanting my daughter to have the objectively best name ever, but also wanting my daughter to not be stoned.

Nah, I know a couple guys named Darwin and they grew up without getting beaten to death. She'd be fine (you don't live in the flyover states, do you?).

Of course it's editable, it's Wikipedia and you've downloaded it on your own damn computer.
Plus, the vast majority of the vandalism that takes place on Wikipedia gets corrected within minutes. So when you take a monthly snapshot, you're unlikely to get much of it. You'll have some, of course, but it's not as bad as you might expect.
If I have a daughter, I really want to name her Lilith.
If I have a son, I want to name him after my father.
I've liked the name Lilith for a long time, back since the character appeared on Cheers. Who doesn't appreciate deadpan sardonicism in a woman?
I like the mythological connotations of the name.
Mother to vampires, succubi, and giants? I mean, obviously some people invoke it as a symbol of feminism, because she was more or less defamed by misogyny in religion, but still...

I told my ex's (Catholic) mother that I really liked the name Lilith. She said, "Do you know what the Lilith was?" I retorted, "Do you know what the Morrigan was?" She laughed and said, "Okay. Good point."
Feral on
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

Haha, no, but it would cause some problems since my boyfriend, the guy whom I'm most likely going to marry, his mother is super-Christian. That and Jezebel has a negative connotation to a lot of people who don't thump Bibles as well.

Then make their middle name what the god represents.
Mine's Jason.
I share my first name with the first red Power Ranger.
Also an axe murderer.
...It balances out.

That sounds like a stupid amount of data.

Kids? If I had girls they would be Tracy and Amanda. Boys, Constantine and I haven't thought of another one yet.

Did he mean Gigabyte?

Demon from Jewish cabalism?
You will be the worst father ever.

Do you know the cultural associations with that name?
I think he means the mythical first wife of Adam. The one that exists only in gaming-related literature.
Yep.
Any child of mine better grow up to be a demon in the sack.
