Author's note: also wrote this one a long time ago.
"Liubliu."
"Yes, Turbinski?"
"That's what we should call her. Liubliu. It's perfect for a Valentine's Day baby." Turbinski gently cradled the pink bundle in his arms.
"Hmmm, more like a Valentine's Day cliche. Like roses and Cadbury chocolates."
"Cliche?" Love is not a cliche. It's a wonderful thing."
"Maybe so. But that doesn't make it a wonderful name. Besides do you reallywant her male classmates in high school to call her 'Liubliu'?"
"...So what ideas do you have?"
"I like Carol."
"That's a Christmas name."
"Look there is no rule that says we have to give our daughter a seasonal name just because she was born on Valentine's Day."
"I'm surprised you didn't want to name her after your mother."
"No I promised myself I wouldn't name any of my kids after pre-exsisting relatives. They should have their own names and thus, their own, all-new idenities."
At that point the pink bundle awoke and screeched her little lungs out. This would go for hours.
21 years later:
"And that's why my parents named me 'Ruckus'. I got off slightly better then my brother who they named Pumpkin. Now get the hell out of my face before I Big Ben Bash your ass.
