Funny how words like Boppy and Binky can so quickly slide into your vocabulary and actually be said with complete sincerity... as in, "before I take a nap do you want me to get the Boppy?" I guess those are actually just words that are generalized to represent the entire product entity that they are a member of (a la "Kleenex").

What is that situation called? I remember talking about it in some college class, but have forgotten it... and I can tell by that look on Sherry's face that I have spent too much time on the computer this morning... so somebody look into that and post a comment.
Two last things... 1) Notice that Noah is sporting his Poindexter look this morning... the Seacrest look is played anyways (and yes I did have to go look up why Poindexter was a vernacular term for geek, but at least I learned something today). 2) It is quite crazy to think that just 6 days ago, this amazing little boy was inside of Sherry waiting to come out and poop all over my house. Pretty cool.

It is called an Eponym. Although I am not sure that "Boppy" can be classified in the same vein as Kleenex, Xerox, Band-Aid, Jacuzzi, Jello, Chapstick, Q-Tips and Scotch Tape. But I am sure it is getting close:)
He looks so dapper with his perfectly coifed do.
My niece loved her Boppy when she was an infant. Before her, I had never heard of a Boppy.
She also had a lot of hair when she was first born - it was really black. It all fell out and grew back strawberry blonde (her mom is blonde). Weirdest thing ever.
Ditto on him looking dapper :)
