7. Barney and Baby Bop

6. Scoop and Roley

5. Thomas and Claribel

4. King Friday and Mr. McFeely

    See, I thought for certain the names would be Skeletor, Jr. and made-for-spare-bodyparts-in-case-jr-breaks.

    Oh, man! Nice catch. I thought I had a scoop myself until I realized the restaurant chain is actually called “Max & Ermas.” I was off by two letters, dammit!

    I have an extensive knowledge of children’s programming, considering it’s all I fucking watch anymore.

    Sucks for you. Especially considering that sexy-ass Steve Burns isn’t even on “Blues Clues” anymore.

    Thanks for putting that song in my head for the next few days, Abby.

    “Dragontails, dragontails, it’s almost time for dragontails….”

    I’m a lot less cool since my daughter was born. I’ll go head to head in a Name That Tune–Barney Edition vs. anyone.

    Please let’s give her some credit. At least the names aren’t verbs.

    It’s also possible that they let Mark’s younger children name the babies…to include them in the process, you know. At least that was my first thought.
