Whats in a name

You know that as a little girl, it is the easiest thing to do, name your dolls. Then you are pregnant and have to name this little being. For some reason it becomes one of the hardest things to do. You are so conscious of what the name sounds like, how people will shorten it, what do the initials stand for etc. But I have come across one better. What to call your genitals without sounding crude. With Ewan it was easy, we called it a 'willy'. This doesn't sound offensive and he can say it without people looking at him like he just swore. With Alicia it was a different story altogether. Those that are around us often, will be testament that it was becoming a really serious issue (for me). Brad of course had amillion and one names for it but again (this is a family show). No-one had an answer and then Grays Anatomy comes to the rescue. My motherinlaw (after watching Grays) thought Dr Bailey called it a Vageegee. So that was it, the word was born and we ran with it without question. I ask you, does it sound offensive, No. Could Alicia say it without reprisal, Yes. There you have it, the Vageegee was born. One less thing to worry about, thank god!

I hadn't even thought about what to call it.
