XxXotic...that is *so* true!! I can't get over the names they're using!! The total butchery of the English language in the "subject" line bugs the hell out of me, but the names are priceless!


PornoDoggy...I imagine that at some point, cooler heads said "OK, you can stop now!" on the length of the article. I imagine it was amazing fun to research. From a parental standpoint, though, I can not comprehend saddling a child with some of those names. (They *had* to be naming them after extremely rich relatives.)

My mother hated her own name so much that when I was just a child she said "If you ever name a daughter after me, I'll kill you." Nothing ambivalent, there. I personally couldn't stand my mother's mother's name, but I adored my great-grandmother's name. It's definitely a matter of taste, though, so I picked a nice, normal, often found middle name for her. (The name of the woman who came to get her sister so that her father could be in the delivery room when she was born.) Upshot of this entire true life overshare is that...my daughter hates her middle name even more than she hates her first name, which is considerably. So...parents can't win.
