Your nickname

Dearest Stormageddon,
Your parents are sort of nerds.  Not just any nerds though--we're science fiction loving nerds who adore Dr. Who.  Though we didn't grow up with the series in the 1980s (though mama still remembers hearing the intro music a few times when I was a kid), we did get "hooked" when it came back to TV in the 2000s.  A time-traveling alien known as "the doctor" traverses the universe, helping other species, getting in trouble, and generally having fun with historical figures all while others are out to stop him--what's not to like?

During season 5, when the doctor takes on civilian life and a human flatmate, Craig, he ends up "saving the day" (again) and he helps the flatmate get a date with a girl he's been interested in for a long time.  In series 6 in an episode set several years later, Craig is married to this girl and they've had a baby.  The doctor talks to the baby (of course he can!  He speaks thousands of languages) and the baby wants to inform Craig that he doesn't like his given name.  "He prefers to be called Stormageddon, Lord of All!"  the doctor explains.

I couldn't stop laughing at this idea.  A baby who thought he was in charge and that his speech was more advanced?  That's...well, when you've spent enough time around babies and know that they really believe the world revolves around them, it doesn't seem that preposterous.  It is funny, however, to grown ups--and "stormageddon" seemed to be the perfect nickname for a baby whose gender was yet unknown.  Any baby would believe they were stormageddon and at the center of everything.

Considering how much this pregnancy has turned my life upside down lately (sickness, exhaustion, and trying to finish a dissertation before you get here)?  You are the perfect little storm.  Mama would like to eat something that doesn't make her feel nauseous now though, if you don't mind!

Love,
Mama
