What will the Top 10 Baby Names be in 2019?

The Baby Name Wizard: Finding the Perfect Name for your BabyLaura Wattenberg  knows a thing or two about naming babies.

As the author of THE BABY NAME WIZARD book (shown here), she is often asked for her insights onto the hows, whys, and whens of getting that perfect name for your new child.

And since Laura is such an expert, she was asked to come up with what she thinks will be THE MOST POPULAR BABY NAMES in the future… say, ten years from now in the year 2019.  For those of you keeping score, that would be — more or less — about the time today’s 3rd – 5th graders would be on that early baby-making track (8th-9th graders for those willing to wait a few more years).

Quotation MarksThe BLOG OF UNNECESSARY QUOTATION MARKS is as simple an idea as its name implies.

A Modest Proposal for Saturday Night Live: You Don’t Suck, You’re Just Airing the Wrong SNL Tape

Mr Bill from Saturday Night LiveWeb Watch has just finished watching this past weekend’s Saturday Night Live episode starring Gerard Butler.  THIS WEEK’S EPISODE CONTINUED TO PROVE THAT THE SHOW CAN BE FUNNY if they have a host that is versatile.

As is often the case, some of the skits were hit-or-miss.  Opening monologue and the Beauty and the Beast sketch were amusing, as is what usually happens when the cast throws some comedic music into the mix.

We enjoyed Weekend Update as always, and Keenan’s “What’s Up With That” bit was worth the effort the cast put into it (we’ll see that one again, we hope).  Butler may not have been the strongest host they’ve had, but he certainly didn’t embarass himself – and he showed that he was willing to do anything for a laugh.  No complaints about him at all.   The lack of Andy Samberg and an SNL Digital Short is a different issue, but we don’t have time to get into that today.
