Found this post to be hilarious, given that my wife and I are expecting in two weeks and have been playing the ‘name game.’ I found a list of names that the readers of babyzone.com consider to be cool, which I reproduce here for your amusement and derision:

Boys:

1. Arlo
2. Jed
3. Griffin
4. Aubrey
5. Zane
6. Tucker
7. Toshi

That’s right, we have druggie, nazi, player, queer, pornstar, pornstar and hopeless dweeb. For the girls:

1. Kyra
2. Lana
3. Jolie
4. Sage
5. Meena
6. Mieko
7. Janna

That’s pornstar, pornstar/reporter, anorexic, hippy, what?, hunh? and pornstar.

Any parent considering these names should investigate the costs of psychotherapy and begin saving immediately.

I’m also pretty damn sure you’ll never see a ‘Keith’ as president of the USA.

Boys with the middle name “Wayne” have a higher probability of being a serial killer:

John Wayne Gacy
Jeffrey Wayne Dahmer
Charles Wayne Manson

And, John Wayne Bobbitt who was just a not-so-nice guy.

My boss is a Terry. He ain’t gay, but he ain’t right either. He drinks, smokes, chews tobacco (at work - don’t EVER pick up his coffee cup - ewww!) and thinks he’s about 20 years younger than he really is. Did I mention he drove a Firebird? Seems to me guys named Terry just have something internally wrong.

Ever listen to Johhny Cash, I think that ‘the boy named Sue’ had a lot more worries growing up than Terrie will ever have to face, and from what I understood of the lyricks he didn’t turn out gay.

I know a lot of y-chromosome Terry’s… but none are gay.

…if you’re playing the odds, what about a boy name like Leslie? or Francis?
