I’m figuring all of you have already heard…and if you haven’t, then you must not know me personally…that I, Kelsey Ann Fischer, am going to be an Aunt. My dear older brother (Nathan) and my sister-in-law (Katie) are going to be blessed with their first child sometime around November. Right now they are in the process of picking out names on whether it’s a boy or a girl. Well, I’m of course not going to tell you the names their thinking about, because that’s for them to know and us to find out! But I have heard some of the latest ones they're thinking about, and they’re great!
Anyways, this led to a little discussion between me and my friends, for fun of course, on what we are going to name our future little ones. Being the crazy person that I am, the names I picked out had very mixed reviews. Due to the fact that I have nothing better to write about at the moment, I thought I would share with y’all the boy names I would pick at the moment and why…
 First up would be my exact favorite, Alexander. The namesake (of course) is the one and only, Alexander the Great. If you don’t know who he is, then you must have never had to sit through an ancient history class. Alexander was the ancient Greek king of Macedon and conquered half of the known world before his death in Babylon. He may not have been the nicest or most moralistic person in history, but he was a great warrior, and what kid wouldn’t be lucky to bear his name? The middle name for this lucky kid would be Lucius…first of all because it just sounds cool and second, because of reasons I’m too lazy to type out, so you can read about him here. Also, it was just a popular Roman name…and did I mention that “Alexander Lucius” just sounds cool?
 Well, my mom thought naming any poor kid after a Greek King was crazy. But I think I scared her even more when I told her that if I ever had more than one son, I would name him Octavian, after the first Roman emperor who came to the throne after Julius Caesar’s death. Upon hearing this, most of my friends said that the poor child would grow up to hate me, to which I simply replied that it’s a lot better than naming him “Gaius”…which was actually Octavian’s first name…so yeah…I thought it was a funny joke…but apparently none of them got it…and I’m guess you didn’t either…so moving on …
So, those are two of my personal choices on awesome baby names…well that and Augustus, which my mom thinks is a really good name for a boy, even though I originally thought of it for a girl…so maybe I might just have to go with that one. Well, I think I have a long time to decide, so no use thinking too much about it right now. Anyways, I hope to actually write a good blog post sometime in the near future, so hopefully I haven’t scared you away by this creepy randomness….
