@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

Why Gloria and not Glory?

Because Gloria has a lineage as a traditional first name that Glory lacked? This is really probably my taste showing -- I prefer the traditional over the neologistic in naming schemes, but YMMV, and it's not exactly like either option is bad per se. If you were about to name the kid Vivian Melancholy, things might have to be discussed.

Were you also planning to build her a tomb by the side of the sea?

When she's bad, you could brick her up inside one of your basement walls.  You could get her a red mask for Halloween.  You could hide her Christmas presents in plain sight.  

Dang, you could have endless Poe-themed fun.  Just be careful or your house will fall down.

Well, when we decided not to be blatently morbid about the whole thing, we went with a Shakespearian/Greek Mythological name (Hero), so there's a whole new set of literary allusions as well as horrid puns that are likely to erupt from our house in about two weeks.  Of course, the Greek version of the name is still morbid, but it's at least less notorious.  

And if it's a boy, we'll be calling him Pearce, and hoping he doesn't grow up believing that he needs to live up to his name by punching innumerable holes in himself.
