TED

I bought an ipod today. I named it Ted.
It just came to me. Ive heard parents describe the sensation when they see their child for the first time. They have a standard name picked out for the unborn infant and then bam- they see the kid, and they just know.
But I really don't feel very secure about it being Ted.
I have a great uncle named Ted. Actually Theodore. Thats heavy.
I haven't settled on the idea of it being male either. It feels like it should be a she; like a ship. When in reality its sexless, which sounds awful. It sounds so incomplete.
Like a neutered dog.

Mine's name is Sergio. It was either name the iPod that or the firstborn. Not a hard choice for me.
