I was not saying it's inappropriate in all circumstances. For example, when I mentioned the name "Hunter" I was thinking of the young daughter of a friend of mine. They are very WASPy, and have a last name that goes quite nicely with it. That's cool, I have nothing against the names themselves (except for things like Brittany, Ashley, Kayla, Amber etc. that sound "fake fancy" (almost classy, if you will...) -- and as someone aptly pointed out, that demand institution of a fund for all the eventual plastic surgery bound to be required).

In sum, Hunter (or Kendall, or Madison, or Graeme or whatever) can be a great name, but not if your last name is Wolfowitz (or anything that ends in "ski").

if this is indeed accurate, how come these names are only trendy now when the person for whom the white trash brat is named for died in 1865 and the interceding peole were named Billy, Bob or Billy Bob?


and what exactly is the difference here besdies the fact that one ethnic xerox is in the form of a name and the other is in the form of a man skirt?

it is a recent trend that screams "self loathing wannabe". Have you read the Nanny Diaries? It is all about social climbing women who finally marry some cash and give their kids the most rEdiculous names.

Some of the women in my family are named Edith, Beatrice and Roxine. I am totally naming my future daughters Edie, Bea and Roxy. However, I will not be naming any sons for my Uncle Marvin. I think I will just stick with the classic names of Charles, Henry and James. Simple, classic, lovely.

I'm actually betting they make they playoffs this year, since they aren't expected to do anything.

Besides, the top 2 lines are really good on paper, and the Poti-de Vries defensive pairing should be damn good.

Yes. This is it exactly. That's the point I was laboring to make, and should have scrolled. (Thank you e/o.)

I guess I won't win any pith awards today -- such a disgrace.

Disagree. Hunter is a bullshit name. I dont care if the surname is waspy. its trendy. its a Caitlin, a Brandon, a Dylan, a Taylor.

Of course I like you.

You think so? Somehow, it just fits her. Come to think of it, her first name is Jane, but Hunter is her middle name, and that's what they call her. She's actually not so young anymore, she's probably about 10.

I have met only one other person with that name, so it's not as "nails on a blackboard" sounding as Taylor and Brandon {{shudder}}.

Not to be confused with Tyler which is my son's middle name and thus is automatically exempt from being "nails on the blackboard." And hey, how was I supposed to know that people were gonna start naming girls Jordan too -- I thought it was a name only for boys.

My son attends school with a boy named Justice. I am not sure on this one yet but I am leaning towards trashy after meeting his mom and dad.

I have not seen that movie. Though I do generally like Goldie, I won't say thank you because I suspect this is intended to be an insult.

An idea whose time has come
 

A German bar is offering women who want to go shopping without their partners the chance to park them at what it bills as the country's first kindergarten for men.

"Whether we keep it going depends on who comes when the buzz dies down," Stein said. "Some of our regulars have put their head round the door and recoiled in horror."



And here I am trying to figure out why people seeing men in the bar would recoil in horror. Are the men in diapers? Was it formerly a lesbian bar? What?

You don't need a spree disclosure if there's no link, brainiac. Also, there would be a problem only if your link was not to an expected news story, but to a graphic shot of Dwight Thomas Roth Jr. being squeezed out into a sewage-filled toilet on a "hot women giving birth in sewage" fetish site.

The name Candace, while beautiful, should simply never be shortened. A physician in my church, Dr. Dick, unfortunately did not get the memo.

It is not uncommon for Dr. Candy Dick to read the lessons. There is also an older couple (not related to Dr. Dick) who sponsor the bulletin several times a year. His name is Hank. Hers? Delite. "Today's bulletin is sponsored by Hank and Delite Dick in honor of their 57th wedding anniversary." Good Grief.

Its not as bad but its up there. Brandon, Dylan and Taylor have to be the top three most nails on blackborad boy names and Caitlin, Dylan and Taylor have to be the top three girls name. Though Caitlin is awful in that Tiffany kinda way, not the pseudo wasp name. It is the Ashley or Brianna of the late nineties. I would love ot see a list of the top fifty baby names.

Uh, does this mean you have a small dick?
