Well, Chris, I wouldn't suggest Kurt. That name was taken two weeks ago. (9/23 - 7lbs 6oz, 21in.) I think that means I'm all clear for the next rtl roadtrip. Another name high on our list was Kyle. If we had a girl, it would have been Aliceanne (...) (22 years ago, 7-Oct-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
