Amanda and Lenny adopt a child so they can be called "Mom" and "Dad" and not only be "Husband" and "Wife." But what do they call the child? The name becomes the thing. Give a "handle" with care; there's destiny in a name. And so they call their anonymous baby "Senator Rabbi Max Weinrib."

Lenny: This kid is going to be a great kid. He’s fabulous. What do you want to call him? Amanda: Call him? Well, what about Eric? Lenny: Eric? Kid’s not a Viking. I want to name him after one of my heroes. Amanda: Like what? Lenny: What about Groucho? Amanda: Groucho? Oh get real. Lenny: No, I’m serious, it’s a great...You know, oh, I don’t know Amanda: What about Phineas? Do you like Phineas? Lenny: Phineas? Are you joking? Phineas is the guy who forecloses on the mortgage. I don’t want to call this kid Phineas. He’s adorable. That’s so great. What the. Let me think. What about Jango? Amanda: Jango? Lenny: Jango yeah, Jango Weinhart the great guitar player. Amanda: Jango Weinrib? Lenny: You see that’s the curse of the Weinrib name. It doesn’t go with anything. Nothing goes with it. Amanda: Well, ok, well about something simple like, you know, Ben. Lenny: Ben? You want to call him Ben Weinrib? Which is going to be a gin rummy champion. I just want the kid to have a great name. What about Sugar Ray Weinrib? Amanda: Holden. After Holden Caulfield. Lenny: You see Holden is one of those things that works if we use your maiden name. Holden Sloane. But not Holden Weinrib. Kid is so cute. What about Cole? Cole Weinrib. Harpo Weinrib. How about Earl the Pearl Weinrib. Amanda: Oh God. Lenny: What about Shane? Amanda: Shane’s pretty. Lenny: Shane Weinrib. Shane would be ok.

Thelonious Weinrib. Amanda: Max. What about Max? Lenny: Max Amanda: Yeah Max Lenny: Max, look how cute he is. I want to hold him. Max is ok. Dr. Max Weinrib. I like the name Max.
