My Muggle Girlfriend Chapter 86 - Unwanted suggestions

'Again…' was the only thought that crossed George's mind. It wasn't the first or second - and certainly not the last - time someone asked about the name. What was so special about choosing a name, anyway?

George and Kagome agreed on many things. They shared a similar taste in music, food, TV shows, even some books and video games - even though the latter was debatable since she was the one to introduce him to them. They had hobbies that complemented each other and knew to respect the other likings and dislikings. That, however, didn't apply when it came to deciding on their child's name.

Aiko, Samantha, Hana, Belinda, Chihiro, Danielle, Rachel, Hinata, Rose; none of the names either suggested seemed to be the chosen one. When one showed a preference, the other disagreed completely. The situation went for days until both decided to just drop the matter and decide later.

Now that the subject came to surface again, the memories of the countless times someone gave them a "suggestion" suddenly popped up.

It started with Kagome's grandfather.

"Yuudai? Seriously, Jiji-chan? I'm not naming my child 'you die'," huffed Kagome.

"That's not the meaning!"

"But sounds like it in English! I have to be careful with the options."

"You must not worry about it. My grandchild needs a strong name, a name with a meaning!"

"Do you mean something like 'birdcage'?" Kagome gave him an unimpressed stare.

Grandpa flushed a little. "You can blame your father for that. Atari was my choice for you."

"Atari?! And what Souta would be? Super Famicom?" George put a hand on her arm. Kagome sent him a pleading look.

"Why are we talking about it right now? There are eight months ahead for us to decide, right? No need to rush things." Kagome released a breath, Grandpa just looked away.

Then, the nurses at doctor offices had suggestions, receptionists had suggestions, there was a point where even some ghosts, not ones like the Bloody Baron or Nearly Headless Nick but the old-school type that liked to haunt houses or just lurk around, had suggestions - Kagome had a tendency to attract them; thankfully, so far, none of them seemed were anything but gentle. I came to a point where they had a standard answer, the same he gave McGonagall at that moment.

"I'm sure the right name will come to mind when we see her."

McGonagall gave him a look of approval. George decided to believe that the disappointment spotted on some faces was just his imagination.
