Quote of the Week
Jack sent me a link to this awesome site called Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing. It lists horrible baby names that parents are considering (or have already named) their children. Here's a selection of tips from the FAQ on picking baby names:
- Generally avoid nouns. You're asking for trouble.
- Do a Google search for your name ideas. If all you get are porn sites, white supremacist groups and pictures of My Little Ponies -- it's a bad name.
- If you like a common name, but don't like how it's spelled, tough. Either use the usual spelling, or find a new name. Andrywe is NOT name.
- A stupid sounding name is still a stupid sounding name even if its meaning is "beloved queen" or something else nice.
