Is it George Graham (GG==Good Game) or George Livingston (GL==Good Luck)? I hope he enjoys our gift... take pictures! ;)
GG. I never thought what his initials would be, but those seem good ones.
This calls for Dancing Baby: http://dancing-baby.net/Baby/BabyMus1.htm (Since when did he get sunglasses?)

YC startups can point to whichever website PG + JL register. That kind of google karma will easily put George as the #1 George on any of the search engines. Now, if the YC companies are really creative, George will be the 1st result returned even if someone types in "Eliezer Yudkowsky" ;-)
Good solution, I suppose. At least the first part. To be fair, I'll be first in line to congratulate PGJL on having not named their kid Jeeebo Graham just because the domain name was available. But I do advise prospective parents to think hard about what the child might think of the name when grown up. Sure, in one sense it would have been awesome, but I'm glad my mother didn't let my father actually name me Luke Sky…
Well, it's too late now, but if there are any other parents out there, for God's sake give your kid a globally unique name. It's all one big namespace now. There are other Eliezer Yudkowskys out there, the poor bastards, and they'll spend the rest of their lives under my ugly Google shadow.

Congrats! I'm also a new father - PG (and everyone else) could you share any general parenting advice, or give pointers to sources from which you seek advice on parenting? One I've found invaluable is Alfie Kohn - his ideas gave me insight into general psychology as well as child raising that I'd feel completely lost without.
Read both of these, and soon, since they describe things which become fixed after age three or so: Meaningful Differences In The Everyday Experiences Of Young American Children Emotional Intelligence There are other books you can read once the kid gets to school age, but I think these two are the most important for the cognitive and emotional development of the infant. edit: Kohn is also one of my all time favorite a…

If you're going to be creative with a kid's name, you should do it with the middle name. Then it can be up to him whether he wants to use it. My parents gave both my sister and I middle names of Fox, and when she started college my sister begin introducing herself by it.
