Baby names

I think it's a good idea to steer clear of any names that will put your kid in danger of having another one (or two or three) in his/her class at school. One year my daughter had FOUR Adams in her class. Come on, people...show a little originality for heavens's sake.

I'd stay away from naming my child Alyssa, Devon, Madison, Tyler, Taylor, Bryce, Bryson, Grayson, Jackson, Brianne, Molly, Hayley, Kayleigh, Caitlin or any of those other "top 20 names."

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Hugo is a pretty horrible name, actually. Good luck finding a girl who will allow that.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It just is, the same way names like Myron and Agnes are horrible. There's really no logical reason for it...they just are.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I adore old-fashioned names. My youngest child's name is Wyatt, which is very old-fashioned. If he had been a girl we were going to name him Violet.

Esther and Zebediah are also great names.

How ya doing, buddy?

I don't have any children named Esther or Zebediah...I just like the names.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I like the Q also. One of my friends named her son Quinn and I was so jealous that I didn't think of it first.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You wouldn't like it anymore if you knew the one and only Leroy I've ever met in real life.

I used to think he was so gross but now I just think it's sad.

Isn't it funny how if you know someone and they made an impression on you (bad or good), you'll always associate their name with the impression they left? I hate the name "Candy" because the ickiest girl in our school had that name, and the most beautiful girl in my school was named "LaShawn." Now that's a pretty horrific name, but I know several girls from school who named their daughters LaShawn, and I'm sure it was because of the name association, because the actual name sucks.

FELIPE NO

Persephone is an awesome name. So's Persimmon.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
