Reading it, I focused on one that I thought would sound cool if we happen to have a boy in the future.
Karl Henderson. That's a strong name.
- Karl. Karl was one of the true stalwarts, a name that had made the top 1000 every year on record (since 1880). This year marked the end of that run, as Karl – like Brad – suffered for its 3-to-1 consonant-vowel ratio.
Then I remembered my daughter's name is Lenny.
As someone who was cruelly named Luke in 1982 (see the dates here and here) and was given another untimely last name (which had the added bonus of striking back when I was about nine), I'm not sure I could do that to them. Although, nobody would "get it" unless they were together, and the person "getting it" would have to be a Simpsons fan, and instead of laughing at me, I'd probably get a high-five.
But then, of course, we all know that only black people have names like Karl.
ALSO: Drew and Melissa are not having a child as far as I know. Not intending to give that impression.
Star Wars had ZERO influence on your name...absolutely ZERO...and as for Harry...that came out waaaaay later. Cruel???
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter whether Star Wars was what drove the decision or not, it was bad timing. People in the US who have the last name "Wiener" have an unfortunate name, doesn't matter that it actually means "Viennese," it's still unfortunate.
