A year or so ago, there were a bunch of my friends and family having babies around the same time. Everything about it was super exciting.
It was time to see people with who I'd done stupid things on many a day and night in the past become responsible for the life of another human being.
When the message finally came through announcing the arrival of their heir, it was incredibly heart warming.
Until they announced the name.
Boring.
Around the same time, I happened to be reading The Iliad and found myself completely unable to keep up with the onslaught of names Homer was reciting at me.
Then it occurred to me—there's so many epic names in here!
And so epicbabynames.com was born.
