A Few Ground Rules

I have noticed a frightening trend in baby naming recently. It's gotten to be undeniably narcissistic. In the wake of ridiculous names coming from celebrities, which to be expected, and Mrs. Next Door, who just knows that her bundle of joy is special i believe that it is time to lay a few ground rules.

1. I will not name my child after a celebrity

2. I will not name my child after a place. This includes but is not limited to: towns/cities, countries, boroughs, and streets.

3. I will not give my child a last name for a first name.

4. I will not deliberately give my child a nonsensical spelling for their name. It's not unique, its irritating for us, and for the kid. Spelling a name for everyone is annoying.

5. I will not give my child a name that sounds silly as an adult.
