Mrs. JimmyAkin.Org???

As an amateur linguist, I’ve been tickled by some of the blogger lingo from various blogs I’ve been reading.

One of the most interesting idioms I’ve run across is the naming of family members (presumably for privacy and humor reasons) after the blog on which they are mentioned.

Thus Instapundit (Glenn Reynolds) has "the Instadad" (his father), "the Instawife" (his wife), and "the Instadaughter" (his daughter).

Similarly, Jim Geraghty of National Review’s Kerry Spot is married to "Mrs. Kerry Spot."

So . . .

If I am so fortunate as to be able to find a bride, will that make her "Mrs. JimmyAkin.Org"?

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
