What's in a name?

What's in a name...


Given the trend of parents naming thier kids "unique" and "unusual" names, I feel my siblings (Rayn and Myla) and I need to raise the bar if we ever have kids. Soon there will be pre-schools full of "Apple's", "Moxie's", and "Shiloh's". ( For the record, other top contenders for my name were "Phoebe" and "Raspberry". Seriously. Raspberry - thank god my Dad intervened on this one.)

So, I have decided on the name of my child, should I ever have one. (I am not pregant, or planning on being pregnant in the near future.)

Popsicle Ukelehle Speed Muffin Umlaut Hyphen-Ampersand Jane Jensen Hull-(insert his last name here).

Top that Angelina! My kid will be the most orignial, most less -likely- to- ever- have- a -job- that- requires-a-nametag-because-my-parents-gave-me-a-wacky-name-to-show-how-original-they-are,-who cares-if-they-get-the-crap-beat-out-of-them -everyday-at-school name EVER!
