Susan (about her baby's name):
Mike insisted that we name him after his dead grandfather.

Lynette:
How did he die? Was he beaten to death because his name was Maynard?

Susan:
I know. It's terrible but I can't change it now. Mike was so emotional about it.

Bree:
Well, then appeal to his sense of reason. Maynard doesn't go with the name Delfino. One is German and one is Italian and we all know what happens when those folks get together.

Susan:
I'm not sure that the World War II argument is going to fly.

Bree:
Come on, you have to do something. That name is practically abusive.

Gabrielle:
Yeah, think about your son. People live up to the names they're given. If my parents hadn't named me Gabrielle, who knows if I'd be this pretty?

Lynette:
I guess that's why they didn't name you "Einstein."

Gabrielle:
So sarcastic but what would you expect from a "Lynette"? (Lynette scoffs) What? If your name was Francesca, you wouldn't have time for sarcasm. You'd be too busy having sex on a vespa.
