I work in neonatal ICU. Some recent gems: Magnavox -(brother of Zenith and son of Philco), Cleveland Brown, William Williams, twins – Jameel A and Jameel B. Spellings – how many ways can one spell Dakota or Brooklyn? We had a Vagina some years ago, mom called her “Gina” with a long “i”. Semaj has become popular (spell it backwards). Neveah (another reverse) seems to be going by the wayside – thank heaven. We’ve had multiple Heaven Lees with variations on the middles name – Lea, Leah, Leeh. The creativity is underwhelming. Some other gag-me names – Precious, Diamond (and Diamonique), Sparkle, Peaches, Peachy, and Fatman. Can you fathom the world of hurt Fatman is going to experience?

I went to high school with Abe Lincoln and Harley Davidson. My best friend dated Michael Jackson. Working in an office, I came across Ginger Spicer and Don Chiapetta (he was my favorite).

I’m a few years away from having kids, but anytime I think of a name that I like, I run it through rigorous tests of every possible rhyme, nickname, letter combinations…I guess it’s helpful, because I’ve discovered that nearly every name combination I love ends up with initials of KEG, LEG, or BEG. I just can’t do that to my possible future kid.

My brother went to school with a girl named Cinnamon. (I also happened to go to college and become friends with a girl named Cinnamon.) The Cinnamon my brother went to school with had a daughter and named her Tequila Sunrise.

My parents were going to name my brother Welden Owen Williams until they realized what his initials would be. Luckily they came to their senses and changed their mind.

Earlier in my military career, I worked for a E-9 whose last name happened to be Fagg. In the Air Force, a E-9 is a Chief Master Sergeant, so in effect EVERYONE called the poor man Chief Fagg. And before that he was called Sergeant Fagg…
