Conversation Had With My Sister Discussing a Potential Baby Name
S: You've lived in Utah too long.
B: Brother was named after King Benjamin and we didn't live in Utah then.
S: Yes, but Benjamin is a common name.
B: And that's why we're thinking of this one, because it's NOT common. I mean, how many people do you know with this name?
S: A few, actually.
B (turning to Hubby): Great, now we're going to have to go with our backup of Mahonri Moriancomer. We'll call him Hon for short.
S: Then everybody will think he's named after Han Solo and he'll continually be asked about his friend, Chewbacca.
