Your parents did it. Michelle and Bob Duggar did it and did it and did it. Frank and Gail Zappa did it, with odd results. (Am I right, Dweezil, Ahmet, Moon Unit and Diva Muffin?)
That's right. They all GAVE SOMEONE A NAME.
And now Lucas Turnbloom, creator of Imagine This, invites you to do it. Last Friday, Lucas introduced a brand new character in Imagine This. Here she is:
