The Best Baby Name Ever From Washington D.C.

Our knocked up (self-titled) Faithhacker Laurel Snyder needs help picking a Jewish baby name. Suggestions from Jewcers thus far include:

Asher

Haskell

Galit

Aliza

Shira

Dara

Yael

Eitan

But my fave comes from Josh Parman of the nationally syndicated radio show Interfaith Voices:

Salathial

(!!!!) Salathial? Is it just me or…. SALATHIAL? The story Mr. Parman told about this name, er, kind of amazes me the same way Vh1's I Love New York does:

I was recently at a bar in Washington, D.C. talking to the step-son-in-law of a congressional representative. He was a non-Jew married to a small r reform hot woman. He said it was hard to think of a name, but once he had one, well! the baby making would begin in haste!

Being of sound mind and body, I suggested Salathiel, an honorific of the son of the the Queen of Sheba meaning "Black King of the Jews". He liked it, paid his tab, stumbled into a taxi, and for all I know, Salathiel may be gestating in a beautiful woman's stomach at this very moment.

You know, I was thinking of going to a pub down the block from said "bar" next Friday but thanks to the mention of dixieland jazz in that conveniently linked-to review, the choice is clear.

The grammatical correctness, tone, and self-proclaimed sobriety in this reply make me proud to call Mr. Parman an advisor to the step-blood of our federal government. And even prouder that Mr. Parman gave this step-blood good reason to shtup his wife that evening: "Salathial". Baby names like that. Are so. Sexy. Especially when utterred by a drunk husband.

Kudos on the civil service, Mr. Parman! Keep it up. And keep it sober.

Not keeping it sober,

AMY (Lookie, Laurel! To the left of the peren!)

  • Some tips i have seen in terms of pc memory is that often there are technical specs such as SDRAM, DDR and so forth, that must match up the specifications of the mother board. If the personal computer’s motherboard is reasonably current while there are no main system issues, replacing the memory literally will take under sixty minutes. It’s one of the easiest laptop upgrade methods one can consider. Thanks for revealing your ideas.
