I know, I know, people can name their kids whatever they like. And it’s not like this isn’t a well-worn topic. It’s just that sometimes I am truly amazed at how bound and determined parents are to be CUTESIER THAN HELL when naming their children.
I could never help but feel as if it gave these parents a sense of superiority to constantly be correcting people as to the spelling of their child’s name. “See how trendy and clever I am, and what a stodgy old dope you are!” I suppose I could be wrong about that, but it’s still the way I’ve always felt!
Sounds like a clown or the host of a kid’s show or something. I suppose I’m thinking of Rainbow Randolph, who was Robin Williams’s character in Death to Smoochy. What an awful name - somehow, her father’s badass image makes it weirder. Sometimes when you hear a kid’s name, you just want to slap the parents upside the head, and this is a great example of one of those times.
