*crickets*

That's what I hear when I tell people what we are naming the new baby.

Total.  Dead.  Silence.

Seriously, folks?  Spencer is so not a weird name.

What is it?  Are you thinking of Spencer Gifts?  If so, you spent way too much time mall shopping in the 1990s.

Are you just thinking of Spencer Pratt from "The Hills"?  If so, you watch way too much reality TV.

Are you thinking of Shawn Spencer (of "Psych") or Spence Ulchin (of "King of Queens")?  If so, we did too but decided it wasn't that big of a deal.  Besides, Shawn Spencer is the coolest fake psychic detective of all time (forget "The Mentalist").

Anyway, forgive my snarkiness.  Brandon and I think it's quite funny, the non-reactions we get from people.

"Do you have a name picked out yet?"


"Yep!  He will be Spencer, Spencer Ray."


"*silence, cricket sounds*  Oh."
