A followup and thank you for two AskMe posts

A followup and thank you for two AskMe posts: here.

1. I don't have cancer. Yay! Recovery from surgery was a bitch though.
2. I have a daughter named Molly. Yay! Named with good advice given in another AskMe thread (pick something everyone knows how to spell, but few people are using).

Great news. I always love it when AskMe posts end like this...

Hurray! My three year old Molly welcomes your new Molly to the club (and don't worry, we only know one other Molly under the age of five, it's not an epidemic!).

Thanks all!

padraigin: Your Molly is precious...what a cutie! (I snuck a peek at your blog). Pics of my Molly are here, in reverse time-order.

She is one of the prettiest newborns I've ever seen. So happy you're healthy :)

Is this the first child that's been (identified as) named with help from AskMe? If so, I'm outraged that Molly's middle name is not something more referential. Like "Matt".

Molly Matt Webster. It has a nice ring to it.

Well, I'm outraged that you named her Molly, which, according to Freakonomics, is the #1 whitest name.

That's kind of funny. I wonder what they based that on.

That's kind of funny. I wonder what they based that on.

Eh, they probably also snuck a peek at my blog. Don't come much whiter than my Molly.

I don't have cancer ... I have a daughter named Molly

Wow, I'd be looking at a malpractice suit if MY doctor made that mistake!
