Atheists, here is your proof of God. Alert Guinness! Zoe is pregnant. That was one hell of a New Year’s Eve and a 24th Anniversary! (And one Straight Doper wondered why we left Zanies a little early. Asthma medicine? Ha!) We want to name our bundle of joy after a Doper or even a Mod. How does Tuba Dex sound for a girl? NDebadator for a boy? Neither of these sound quite right. Please help us find just the right combination of Doper names for our angel! ---

I was thinking of a name starting with Z, for some reason. Zither or Zyzygy come to mind, though maybe Zither might be shortened to Zit-- not a good thing. Oh, the question was Doper names. No idea. Edited to add: Congratulations!! ---

Zoe, you’re 66. Are we going to see you on the news, or are we just April fools? ---

> [@Alice\_The\_Goon](#): > > Zoe, you’re 66. Are we going to see you on the news, or are we just April fools? **Zoe** said to tell you that you’re no Goon! Did you happen to remember or did you do a little research? She posted at three minutes till midnight so as not to miss the date rollover. Thanks for all the congrats on our never-to-be. The names are hoots, as well. ---

If you’re really 66, as reported, then the only possible name is Zarah. What luck, and what a blessing! Best to you both. ---

She’s really 66, but not really pregnant. Just rather clever about April Fools’ Timing. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/zoe-and-zeldar-are-with-child/534701.md?page=2)
