Avery
Avi
Carl
Wickersham

And because I'm not one to believe that one's anatomy or sex should be the sole determinant of one's gender expression, I offer the following:

Ava
Cady
Gwen
Molly

Hmmmm... Was this a Mexican Hass Avocado, a California Hass Avocado, or one of those gross Florida ginormous Avocados? I feel like the country and region of origin should play a role in the name... perhaps the following would be appropriate:

Mexico bred:
Agapito
Jocabo
Gabriel
Vincente Fox

California bred:
Steve

Florida Bred (Daytona region):
Ricky Bobby

Florida bred (Miami region):
Ricky Ricardo

I'm an idiot. I totally didn't realize blogger would post that under my Guinea Pig Parade alter-ego, "recorder of pedigrees." Now I look like some internet wackjob (which I am) who's anonymously posting on your new blog... oh well, whatcha gonna do?
