Spinoff of the Baby Names thread. For some reason, people giving their kids stupid names is one of my all-time pet peeves. It's like a pet elephant peeve. I can't stand it, and I don't understand why people do it. I reaize there have always been trends in naming kids, but when did the trends start including preppy or made up stupid names (I'm excluding African American names from that question)?
Slightly less annoying is coming up with some new way to spell a name. For example, I've traditionally seen it spelled Megan, Meagan, or Meghan... so my buddy and his wife combined them all and named their girl Meaghan. Nothing like a couple extra letters for effect.
So if I get enough posts, I'll keep a running list. Any of you expectant fathers, check in here from time to time. If you see a name on the list below, DO NOT GIVE IT TO YOUR CHILD.
I'll start it off with:
boys
