My friend’s baby is due on June 6, 2006. That’s right: 6/6/6 Of course, we’re all calling the little whippersnapper “Damien” already, but she thinks it’s cliche. “Beelzebub” might not fit in the blanks on the school form. So what should she name her little Satan-spawn? (Mods, yes, lighthearted and tongue in cheek. Yet still a poll of sorts. Feel free to jackboot it to MPSIMS if so inclined. Like you need my permission.) ---

> [@Annie-Xmas](#): > > I have it on very good authority (the crazy intern in the office) that the world is going to end on June 6, 2006. Damn, just 12 days before my birthday. What a gyp. The baby should be named Nyarlathotep. ---
