Baby Names

My Mum is due to have a baby at the end of March and we can't find the right boys name. We have found girls names we like but we can't agree on any boys names. So I am holding a challenge. The winner is the one who types a name that I like and my family likes. The name has to be a Catholic saints name or be associated with a saint and it must be unusual. I'll have a poll on the sidebar of my blog of names that can be voted on. Hope you have better luck thinking up names than I have.

Pass it on! You have to title the post with the first word you find in the word search.

Random

I can't get the song "I'm Gonna Be (500)" out of my head. The main verse keeps running round and round in my head. It's got a really catchy tune, with a solid beat. It's a great walking song especially the main verse.

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walked 1,000 miles
To fall down at your door

For some reason when I hear this I always imagine a man walking to another town in the snow. Then falling down just as she opens the door to his banging. I don't know why but that's the image that pops into my mind even though no where in the song is anything like it mentioned. Apart from the falling down at the door bit, that is.

This song is on my side bar if you want to listen to it. It is by the proclaimers.
