our last name is never simply mask. when i first got married, conversations used to go something like this:
person: what's your name?
me: cherie mask
person: mask?
me: yes, m-a-s-k
pretty soon i realized i'd just avoid that last step and spell my name out every time. i don't mind the odd reactions so much. i like that our name is different. and it makes for catchy slogans and funny halloween costumes (like when we dress up as hippies holding signs to protest the "no masks at parties" rule).
but when it's time to name a baby, we do think twice about the combination. i remember a guy in one of my byu wards whose name was gamble lynn money.
yes, really.
i always wondered what his parents were thinking. but then again, who says you can't have a little fun?
we've finally decided on a name. any guesses on which one of these it is?
jack mask
harry mask
chase mask
rocky mask
clay mask
ski mask
stone mask
(say these next ones fast!)
gus mask
hal owen mask
ok….so i'm only joking here. but do you have any funny ones to add to the list? 🙂

Dad considered Mahonri Moriancumr Mask when I was carrying Jeff– we would call him 3M for short. Personally, I like Barry Scary. You must have a middle name ya know.
try having the last name… PECK. we get some good ones out of that.
Funny! I always spelled out my maiden name without hesitation as well, and added a description for clarity: “Heap… as in a big pile.” Come to think of it, I spell out Lund, too. People can’t seem to hear the “d” on the end. We’ve thought of some names for our son like “Scott Lund” (Scotland), “Eyre Lund,” or Jon’s favorite “Ice Lund.” Good luck with the name game! I can’t wait to hear what you choose!
we are the Burns family… so DH and I always joked we’d name our kids Indian, Sun, & Rug. LOL. We even considered Aidan for our first son (because it means “fiery”) but then it go too popular for our taste. So, lots of other great names out for us… I LOVE Scarlet… but really? Scarlet Burns? (sigh)
personally, i love ski!
sande’s son’s name is ski & I LOVE it!
ski. mask.
it has a ring, don’t ya think?
but, then again, clay is funny.
