"Do You Have a Kiss for Daddy?"

My old friends from Crazy Go Nuts University, Ashley Bristowe and Chris “Turner” Turner, have a name for their baby inspired by the Greatest Movie of All Time (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off): Sloane.

Her full name is Sloane Lantau Bristowe Turner. “Lantau” is derived from the island on which Hong Kong’s International Airport is located. The reasoning is explained in their post. “So that’s how it’s done in their family,” as Principal Rooney would say.

(Luckily, they did not name her after the actual airport itself, which bears the funny-in-the-Beavis-and-Butthead-sense name of Chek Lap Kok.)
