I never met a Sean I liked until I met and married mine. So I think my own kid would definitely become the bigger association with the name and it would turn it around for me.<br /><br />In order to make sure you never have to contend with this, though, I suggest that everyone adopt a cat and give their cat their nemesis's name. You'll feel good every time you can say "Bad, Nemesis!" and your spouse will never name your kid after your cat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-44929912193473259982016-02-09T16:23:59.829-08:002016-02-09T16:23:59.829-08:00Yeah, I think Paula wins the comments for today.Yeah, I think Paula wins the comments for today.Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-12554049168611249432016-02-09T16:23:31.717-08:002016-02-09T16:23:31.717-08:00Really?
