According to Gal Smiley and her Captain Underpants activity book, our family superhero names are Pinky, Stinky, Flunky, Zippy, and Zippy Jr. Monkeyhead. We are READY to FIGHT CRIME.

The kids sometimes like to get out the hexbugs and set them up in head-to-head battles like a hexbug version of The Hunger Games. The hexbug names are Exterminator, M.C., Poison Ivy, Easter, Nibbles, and Cockroach. I think these are AWESOME.

Gal Smiley is not sold on the idea of having children, but if she did have kids, or possibly pet pandas, she would like to name them Davin, John, and Ben. (They will obviously be boys.)

Bears are the favourite animal of the Little Miss and she has several stuffed versions. They are named Bear, Beary, Ted, Teddy (x2), Fuzzy, Softie, Pinkie, and Hero. You can probably figure out which one was named by me and Sir Monkeypants. They’re so adorably literal at this age.
That reminds me a story about my youngest sister – when she was about six she got a plastic yellow pony as a gift and she had to name it, so she called it “Bowie.” I was about 13 at the time and I thought she was naming the pony after David Bowie and I thought she was pretty much the coolest little sister on the planet. I believe I may have even bragged to some of my friends how my little sister was so pop culture knowledgeable. A year or so later we were talking about this point and she explained that the pony had some small white bows printed on its butt, and so it was more like “bow-y”, as in having Butt Bows, rather than a nod to the musician. Oh.
Butt Bows would be a pretty awesome band name, though, don’t you think?

My teddies were all named Theodore Edward Bear (Ted E. Bear)
I had a doll named Ermentrude. I have no idea where I came up with that name.
Best. Name. EVAH.
So awesome. The eldest child decided when the next child was still in the womb that the unborn child’s name would be “Pogwash”. We are utterly clueless as to how he arrived at that name. But instead of the usual “bean” or “peanut” when referring to the unborn baby, we always used “Pogwash”.
Then for some reason with the third child he decided to call the unborn baby “Pumpkin”, which strikes me as a more typical choice. Weird. 😉
You should TOTALLY have given child #3 Pogwash as a second middle name. It is FAB. 🙂
Pogwash would have been pretty sweet. 😀 She’ll have to settle for Cressida, though. Missed opportunities!
