It's Inevitable...


Well we always knew that despite our best efforts, at SOME point, at least ONE of our children would end up on a milk carton.

So as we were leaving the hospital Saturday afternoon, we weren't really surprised to see THIS on the side of Aaron's beverage:
Another Corbin. Already. A FAMOUS Corbin. (a filthy rich Corbin? Maybe not so bad...)
We thought we were pretty original...now I wonder how many other Corbin's there are hiding out there. I mean, the namefinder thingie on babycenter said that there are only 800 Corbins out of every 1,000,000 in the US population. Sounds good. It's Ranked at #265 or something. Not TOO popular, but not one of those names he will have to repeat 100 times or spell out everytime he says his name.

Then again. Beyonce is ranked #11079...but if my daughter were one of the 7:1,000,000 Beyonce's out there right now, no one would be asking HER, "where did your parent's come up with that name?" or "could you spell that please?" I guess it's all relative.
I just hope that this particular kid doesn't follow the path of the typical downward spiral that too many Child Disney Stars have taken.

This is what I get for being part of the small percentage that has not actually sat through an entire viewing of High School Musical, HSM 2, 3, or 100...how ever many there are. Did everyone else know that was this guys name? Why didn't anyone tell me? I'm glad that MY little Corbin is pretty dang cute.

Whatever.
My kid was 2 days old, and already he's on a freakin' milk carton.

Corbin is so stinkin' cute, I can hardly stand it!!!

p.s. I found out that apparently Gabriel(l)a is the name of a HS Musical Character too. I had no idea.

I love his name. By the way when I named you I didn't know there were so many Megans out there. And guess what they are all spelled wrong. So, I have decided that no matter what name you pick someone else will have the same name and someone will be very vocal about whether they love it or hate it. Oh well, they can name their kids whatever they want. And just for the record he is really, really, really cute. Can't wait to see him.

I love that last photo of baby Corbin. So, so sweet.

BTW because I am a perv I think the other Corbin is a cutie too. lol Whenever we see him on tv Ashley says "Hey Mom it's that curly haired boy you like." Nice. lol

sorry thought you knew! oh and dave calls the other cordon blue, so maybe corbin will escape the affiliation.....

I had no idea. But, really, to avoid duplicating a famous name you probably would've had to make up a new one, like McCorbin.

You know sometimes when you hear a name it reminds you of someone from your past or people you hate...well your Corbin is so cute and adorable that when you said his name---it was totally original!! Luv ya-Car

LOL, I thought that's what you were goin' for. I thought of the HSM dude when I heard it, but no negative conotations. I think it's a perfect name for your little guy!
