OK, then. A Jewish family in Central New Jersey has put the naming rights for their ninth daughter up for sale on Craigslist. After eight girls, the dad says to the JTA, "we're out of names basically. We needed the money, and I asked my wife if we could do it."
Bidding starts at $20,000, and includes invites to the whole calendarful of school plays, anniversaries, the Bat Mitzvah, &c. And to top it all off, or wrap it all up, the dad promises to say Kaddish for you after 120 years. [A thoughtful touch.]
Mom has to approve, and it so it should be a good Jewish girl name. Something "like box or Christina just wouldn't work for us."
They'd like to wrap this up by Saturday, so drop'em a line.
