Slightly off baby names
My brother asked me to help him come up with baby names that were “uncommon English words that sound just slightly different from relatively common names.”
The idea I think was to make joke suggestions to his wife that they name their unborn child “Quarry” instead of Corey or “Cairn” instead of Karen.
Anyways I’m proud to announce my nine beautiful children:
My sons Brine, Frill, Curd, Quirk, and Crease (key: Brian, Phil, Kurt, Kirk, Chris)
My daughters Joist, Jostling, Greats and Moniker. (key: Joyce, Joecelyn, Grace, Monica)
