Five things

Five things of approximately equal likelihood:
1. Verizon starts installing FiOS in Cambridge
2. Mobipocket releases an iPhone/iPod touch version of their reader software
3. Apple releases an iPod touch with Bluetooth, including tethering/PAN profile support
4. EMI reprints Peter Wolf's Lights Out album
5. Godot arrives

kalmn is expecting Godot in, IIRC, 18-24 months.

Do you know this joke?

Sadly, I do not.

She's adopting. Her mother objected to her referring to the non-existent child as 'the kid'. So she ask her FL for help:

i suspect her thought was that i could now start referring to the kid by whatever i am going to end up naming them.

heck with that. first, i don't know gender yet, and won't for a year. second, i am oddly superstitious about telling people the names i have picked so far.

so. i need a babyname. like niblet or neo or widget or something like that. handy, clear on who i am referring to, obviously not the kid's final name, usable in polite company, yet guaranteed to make my mom make that one face.

any suggestions?

There were many suggestions. wordweaverlynn came up with Godot. And that's the one that kalmn picked.
