#namethatgirl

Dear LazyWeb,
My wife and I are fresh out of girl names and we have a baby due in 30 hours or so (7:30am Est Friday). Just can’t seem to find the right blend of first name, middle name, and last name.
We are thus crowdsourcing the naming of the girl and asking you to give [...]

East Texas Burger Company
