Congratulations, Spike, Shelly.

I hope you remembered to Google and make sure your child's name was 
globally unique.  My parents considered naming me "Luke Skywalker 
Yudkowsky", "Hari Seldon Yudkowsky", and "Hen3ry Yudkowsky" (the 3 is 
silent), but chickened out.  As a result, all the other poor fellows on 
Earth who happen to be named "Eliezer Yudkowsky" (I know of at least 
two) will spend the rest of their lives under my ugly Google shadow.
