I keep thinking Jesus Elvis is going to be a great name for my son.
If nothing else, he'll have to grow up to be the toughest kid on the block.

When I was given taht name it was't popular. Do you know what it does to a kid growing up with a name that the Romper Room lady never saw in her magic mirror.

Unpronouncable names, mostly black names from overly ambitious
and undereducated child-mothers who are trying for uniqueness, are a terrible burden for a child. So are rhyming names; I know, I have one and it also rhymes with something unpleasant, but it's my surname, so I'm kinda stuck with. And white people need to stop naming their kids Richard, Dick, Peter -- they're antiquated and lend themselves too easily to ridicule. Also, don't name your kids after celestial bodies like Moon, Star or adjectives like Sparkle or seasons like Summer and Autumn (and lay off the maryjane, neo-hippie). Good post. Let's give our children a chance before they inevitably start getting sideswiped by their peers.

this is really funny
In god I trust but some people say it like it's a must, to my understanding he loves all of us
So why the fuck do you thank him for a victory or winning a prize, like he choose you over me, you
Stupid ass can't you see that's what you're saying indirectly or are too busy trying to convince yorself that
You believe or have just gotten introduced to the thought of living life for
All eternity, and are now dropping to your knees
In every single time of need, that shit's funny to me, come on it's bad enough he was used to win the
Presidency
Besides thanking him recklessly makes you no different then me,
now y'all can go ahead jugde based on this piece of poetry, but before you do
There's a place I want you to kiss niece and wetly

I named my son I-Pod
Funny stuff. I never really gave this much thought. But I do have a beef with people who name their kids Michael when their last name is Michaels or Pete Peterson or John Johnson etc.
I really knew a kid named Michael Hunt growing up. His parents must have been evil.

A Monkey By Any Other Name Is Still A Monkey
I know what you mean-I actually went to junior high (junior high! imagine...) school with a kid whose last name was (and presumably still is): "Boner" (no kidding). And, no, his first name isn't Richard (thank goodness for him). I also worked with someone whose last name is spelled "Batman." He told me it was pronounced "BAT-mun." To which I replied, "Of course it is...caped crusader."

Names
I agree.....It's sad that some children are being given names no normal person even knows how to pronounce.
