Blame The Name Game
Listening to someone call roll at a school the other day, I was more than a bit disappointed in the naming choices I heard. People are giving their kids names like "Wyatt," "Rhett," and "Colt." When did it become okay to name your child after a character in a Kevin Costner movie?
Seriously folks, do you want you kid to grow up to be a successful businessman, or a Wild West Sheriff?

You forgot Spur and a friend of mine named his kid Spur, but the good news is now that American Gladiators is back on people with names like that have a career field to go into.
Hey--
What are your thoughts on the Roger Clemens drama? I'm watching the press conference right now.

Spur. Ouch. I knew a guy who named his kids Rope, Rider, and (ISYN) Arena.
Penelope, as for Clemens, I think "Roger" and "Clemens" are both good names for kids. However, I think clearing his name will be a long, expensive process that might never save his rep in the public eye. I have this recurring dream where James Earl Jones comes out of the cornfield and gives the "baseball" speech, then kicks Barry Bonds square in the nuts. Is that so wrong of me?
I know people down here named Charisma, Dimple and Africa.
