After which institution of higher learning would YOU name your baby?

And if that happens, give the kid a smoking jacket when's he's born!

There really is a Bennington College, in Vermont. One of my profs went there. It sounds about the same as Remington. Alot of the smaller colleges have names that are good, they seem to have more creative names:

Hope (College, in MI)
William Woods (College, in MO)
Westminster (same as above)
Linden (Lindenwood College, also in MO)
Mars (Mars Hill College, in NC)
Norbert (St. Norbert's College, in WI)
Benedict (St. Benedict, there are several in the US, incl. KS)
Paul (De Paul U. - Chicago, IL)
I suppose you could use Loyola ....

I've actually heard about Bennington College, thanks to the Cosby Show.

If you folks don't remember, it's that episode where Denise fesses up to Cliff and Claire about how she dropped out of Hillman. They make reference to Bennington College (at that time it had the most expensive tuition in the nation) and Theo tries to convince his parents to fork over $$$.

I've seen a couple guys at Baylor named...Baylor.

Haha, wow. On the other hand, I guess they could say that it's their school.

Berkeley College - OTW, can you get me another smoking jacket?
Liberty University -- I think there have been a few Liberties around, but I wouldn't want my offspring to join that club
Baldwin-Wallace College -- that could be a first and a middle name
Denison University -- Deni for short
Franklin University -- Little Frankie, the bambino!
John Carroll University -- JC makes a nice nickname
Kent State University -- Kent will be KSUViolet's first child
Kettering College -- this kid will come out of the birth canal wearing glasses
Lourdes College -- Madonna's daughter
Oberlin College -- I went to high school with an Obie
Xavier Univeristy -- I know a few Xavier's and they are always good looking

Ok, so the brother of Mr. RN's best friend just had a daughter and they named her Berkeley. I don't know why. Neither of them went to college, so who knows??

And did they even stop for a moment to think how often throughout her lifetime the meanies will flip that right into "Barkley"?

Probably not. Those 2 are idiots, and probably don't stop to think period.

While I would never name my child Georgia while still living in the state (even though technically I live on the other side of the river in SC now but I still claim to be a Georgian), I have always liked the name Georgia for a girl.

I did think of a few names to pay homage to UGA, though...Sanford, Tate or Grady for a boy. Holmes and Hunter for twin boys. Ha. The only name I can think of for a girl would be Brumby and I wouldn't curse my daughter with that name (I hated living there).
