Daniel has compiled the following list of names for his future brood:
Fredrick Corneilus
Ralph Anthony
Phillip Eustus
Daniel Foster
Lionel Augustus
Norman Charles
Sally Gloria
Cynthia Rita
Melinda Gwendolyn
I'm pretty sure that "Daniel Foster" is a combination of patriarchal ownership and David Foster Wallace, my favorite author in high school (Considering this, I'm surprised that there isn't a "Hunter" or a "Vonnegut" somewhere in there). "Sally" I think I can pinpoint to the Charlie Brown Christmas Specials that Daniel watched repeatedly for a period (Again, where is the "Linus" and the "Schroeder"?). But, honestly, I'm having a pretty hard time figuring out where in the hell "Eustus" came from.

did he ever read Narnia? there was a pretty prominent Eustace in that.
Back in the days of repeated watching of dog movies, I was going to be Daniel's jungle princess and we were to have a bunch of kids, among them Daniel Junior and Beethoven (after that slobbery pet!)
