Do any of you know anyone who has given their child a Twilight name (since the release of the books)?  Any Cullens out there?  Seeing how I’ve decided not to have any more children, I’d have to reserve the Twilight names for furry children.  Someday I’d love to have a Siberian Husky and I want to name her Leah.  LOL!

What do you think of the still of the newborns coming out of the water?  I cannot wait to see that in the theater on the big screen!  That is going to look so freakin’ awesome!
