Fun. Yes, fun.

Some decisions in life are very hard.
Which flavor of ice cream truly is your favorite? Should you eat goat’s cheese rather than cow cheese because goats have beards? If you buy shoes with skulls on them, will someone think you’re a necrophiliac?
And then there’s naming your baby.
Some choose the easy way out. There are names handed down through their family, saving the need to buy baby-name books. Some try — and even succeed — to be creative, as was the case with my favorite Starbucks barista’s mom who decided to name her little girl Kurshina.
Then there are those for whom it’s all too much — or something. They just wish someone else would take the decision and give them, say, $5,000.
That seems to be the case with 26-year-old Natasha Hill. She won a competition on the baby-naming site Belly Ballot for the privilege of having complete strangers choose her little one’s name. (The little one is due in September.)
As KTLA-TV reports, the idea is that you, me, anyone can have a say in this young one’s future identity.
