What's Your Prediction for the Next Garner-Affleck Baby?
a third child on the way for the acting duo
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have two darling daughters with a third baby on the way. Rumors have been suggesting this new baby is going to be a boy. So what do you think Violet and Seraphina's new baby brother should be named? Do you think the couple will go with any of the new naming trends, like a "hero" name or picking a name with an X in it?
My prediction
How about they name the baby Murdock after the character played by Affleck in the movie where the two actors met?

- Seeking to modernize its vast database on China's 1.3 billion citizens, the government's Public Security Bureau has been replacing the handwritten identity card that every Chinese must carry with a computer-readable one.... The bureau's computers, however, are programmed to read only 32,252 of the roughly 55,000 Chinese characters, according to a 2006 government report. The result is that some 60 million Chinese with obscure characters in their names cannot get new cards - unless they change their names to something more common.
