Sasha Malia Ann Taylor! I can’t stop laughing. “Sweetheart, you were named after the president’s daughters and a popular women’s clothing line/chain of stores…all in one.”
The Washington Post just published an article called A Baby Boom for Obama’s Name. It mentions a baby named Obama Alhaji Kabineh Kabba, who was born May 3rd, and another born a week ago with the middle name Barack.
According to an article in today’s LA Times, Obama-babies are popping up among Romanian Gypsies and Indonesians.
