MILLENNIUM BABIES HAVE A NEW NAME -- THE `OTTERS'

SARASOTA, Fla. (Wireless Flash) -- First there were the Baby Boomers, then Generation X: now there's the "Otters." That's the name Florida veterinarian David Walker has selected for babies born between the years 2000-2009. Dr. Watkins says the term "Otter" comes from the word "aught," which means "zero." He's so confident about his new generation name that he's come up with a line of products featuring a special logo bearing the picture of -- what else? -- a sea otter. So far Watkins has emblazoned the logo on baby jumpers and maternity T-shirts, and there are plans for "Otter" memorabilia to commemorate weddings, graduations and other special events that happen from 2000-2009.
