We have decided on [Django](http://djangoshope.com/images/djangooriginal2.jpg) (after [Django Reinhardt](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Baptiste_%22Django%22_Reinhardt), of course).

Damn. I was gonna suggest Madeline, even though it’s pretty ordinary compared to her siblings.

How is Django pronounced? I’ve heard his music but I’ve never heard anyone say his name.

Can I ask how Scout has worked out? (the name, not the daughter!)  
[/QUOTE]  
We have never had anyone mention that “other Scout.” Most people says “Is it from the book?” altho’ a few say “Is it from the movie?” usually followed by “Oh, there’s a book, too?” 🙂

The daughter is a scam artist of world-class caliber. Other than that, everything is fine.

[QUOTE=JillGat]  
Just saw the pic of Django. Is that your new daughter? what a cutie!  
[/QUOTE]  
Yep, that’s her. We’ll keep her Chinese name (Yue Bin) as a middle name, in case she has a use for it some day.

She has a web site where we’re accepting donations to cover adoption cost. Mods, can I post that here?
