My lovely bride, Amy, is pregnant with our first child, a girl, and we're trying to come up with a name for her. Now, Amy likes "Quinn", but I think something a little more... Perlish would be in order.

I kinda like "grep" or maybe "hashref". "Grep Hashref Lester" kinda rolls of the tongue, yes?

Right now, we're just calling her "the baby", but I prefer to call by name, rather than call by reference.

Any suggestions?

xoxo,
Andy
