Baxter, Brady, or Blaine? (m)
You have to give one of these names to your son. Which one do you choose, and why?
Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Baxter
They're all hideous.
If I had to pick, Baxter. Blaine is so "try hard". Brady is whiney.

I guess Blaine, because while I don't particularly love it, it's much better than the other two. Baxter feels like a pet's name more than a person, because 1. I used to like a Meow Mix commercial back in the nineties but which ran for years, where a cat called up his owner and meowed for Meow Mix. The cat's name was Baxter. 2. I have known two people (both of them hairdressers) who each had a bulldog named Baxter.
And Brady is just annoying. Makes me think of the Brady Bunch and A-hole Tom Brady.

Blaine. Baxter reminds me of this obnoxious kid with whom I attended elementary and middle school and whose surname it was. Brady makes me think of "The Brady Bunch", a show which I despise yet somehow managed to see every episode of by the time I had turned eighteen (have avoided it like the plague since, but the movie was funny.) Blaine doesn't make me think of anything, so it wins by default.
Blaine, because Brady is a cheesy 70s sitcom and Baxter sounds like someone who'd trip over his shoe laces a lot. Blaine is kinda blah, but in a way that could be fun?!?...I'm reaching but whatever. After looking it up, I like that the meaning is yellow.
...actually, now that I've thought about it...I do like Blaine. Huh. He seems so unfussed, about how I perceive Fran or Sullivan or Basil, all of which I like.
