!!!!!!COMPETITION!!!!!!

After the success of the last contest (to christen the postpunk book), it seemed like a good idea to invite blissblog readers to bail me out once again. This time the competition is: come up with a name for our second child, due to arrive any time in the next three weeks. There’s hundreds and hundreds of girls names out there but none of them seem quite right and time is running out. Please, though, no corny rock monikers (Nico, Siouxsie, Bjork, etc), and variations on Postrocquelle, Jungalette, Grimelda, Postpunkia, et al, will be disqualified. Winner gets a signed DVD of the birth; runners-up will receive first-edition soiled diapers.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
