What if my name was Bryan Bass? Ack. That name is sickening. Bryan? a Y? One of the things I always say when people ask me my name is "with an i" because people always ask "Y or I?". One of the things about our future progeny will be that it will have a name that we can buy the domain name with a dot com in it. See you can get to this site through brianbass.net and brianbass.info but brianbass.com is already owned by someone else. So baconburgerbass.com and baconbass.com are available. My criteria for figuring out a name would be - unique enough to buy the domain, easy to spell without having to add something to it. Like Jason is easy to spell unless we use Jacen then they would always have to correct people. Cory isn't a good spelling name because it could be Corey or Cori. Doug is pretty easy to spell but I suppose someone could spell it Dug. Linda is easy, but nowadays there could be a Lynda. It is that whole Y and I thing. So maybe another criteria would be no Y/I combinations. Also I tend to like 2 syllable names like Brian. It makes the name more singsongy. I suppose a 4 syllable name would work as well. Like RubberBuggy Bass. So we have:

1. unique enough to buy the domain
2. easy to spell
3. No I or Ys
4. 2 or 4 syllables

What names meet these criteria? We will be thinking for months and months about names because it is fun. I think we have said hundreds already. Bacon is still sticking to me. Bdelium is a gumlike tree resin. Bacon Bdelium Qat Bass. Qat is an evergreen shrub. And now for the rest of the story...
