If girl = Lacie McLacieFace
If boy = yeah your idea sounds good on the tounge, but I would add "GNU" in honor for freedom -

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Baby,
is in fact, GNU/Baby, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Baby.
Baby is not a human unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full baby as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Baby", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Baby, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Baby is the kernel: the program in the human
that allocates the human's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete human. Baby is
normally used in combination with the GNU have man: the whole system
is basically GNU with Baby added, or GNU/Baby. All the so-called "Baby"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Baby. -
@AlexDeLarge I guess in a couple weeks you'll hunt down @linuxxx with your ++ Of course there's nothing bad in it but just an observation.
