Before Bender and Michelle left the UK, Ben and I had a little bet over the launch date of the 3G iPhone. I’d heard a rumour (from a rather unreliable source) way back at the end of last year which suggested that a mid-year launch was on the cards. Ben, however, thought that was bollocks, and that there was no way that Apple would release a new iPhone before the end of 2008.
To make matters interesting, we decided to lay down some terms for the bet. So, I took the months of May, June, and July, with Ben taking September, October, and November. If the iPhone came out in one of the months we had picked, then the winner would be glorified with the naming rights to the loser’s first child!
Well, the launch of the 3G iPhone has been all but confirmed for June. So, referring back to the terms set out above – I believe that means I am now entitled to pick the name of BaM’s first-born! Sorry, Chellsie!
Now I just need some suggestions for names. I figured that it would be hard to top Phoebe’s name (from Friends – in the episode when she changes her name after marrying Mike); as such, if they have a boy, it will be named, “Princess Consuela Bananahammock”. Any suggestions for a girl?

I have a great name for a girl, “Paris”, such a lovely city, I can only imagine a great future for a girl named paris.
Oh and for a boy, what about “Logan”? Such a classy name.
On another note, Ben doesn’t have a good track record for technology bets, he lost an XBox 360 one against me a while back too. Luckily for him that time he only bet his sense of humour.
How about Derek?
That’s ok Gez. I mean, a bet’s a bet right.
We can call it Speedo for short
That story made me laugh.
I have another suggestion…what about Rumpelstiltzkin!!
Or perhaps another name that is featured in the story of Rumpelstiltzkin, like Kasper, Melchior or Belshazzar? Ha ha.
