C: Soooo, what about the name Isabella Martha-Catherine?
K: Ummm. No.
C: No? Like, definite, not-even-gonna-think-about-it no? You didn't even think about it!
K: Yeah. That is a definite no.
C: What's wrong with it?
K: I think you have to be Catholic to hyphenate a middle name like that.
C: LOL! You do not!!
K: How on earth did you come up with that combination anyway?
C: *insert long-winded explanation here*
K: Well, it's still a no.
***pause***
C: Well, you know...
K: We are not becoming Catholic!
C: Hear me out.
K: LOL! I am definitely gonna listen to this one.
C: Well, you know how I've always liked the symbolism/tradition that goes into the whole Catholic baby christening thing? The pomp and circumstance? The gorgeous christening gowns? That stuff? And now I like a name that you say is Catholic...
K: Uh-huh... I'm waiting.
C: Well, what if we just became short-term Catholics? We get the gorgeous christening, I get the hyphenated name... a few short months and wham, bam, thank you ma'am, we're back to being Unitarians. *bright smile*
K: You're nuts. Funny. But nuts.
C: So the name is still a no?
K: Definitely.

How about Bathsheba? We'll call her "Basha" or "Sheba" for short.
