> [@TriPolar](#): > > As a matter of fact, now that I think about it, hot girls always change their name to a hot name or use the hottest variance of their name. I’ve known several girls named Martha. The hot ones all went by “Marty” while the homely or dull ones stuck with Martha. > [@AClockworkMelon](#): > > Do people really have these names? I’ve always assumed they only exist as stage names for strippers. I knew a girl whose actual name was Bambi. She was very hot indeed. ---

> [@tim-n-va](#): > > I always think of the “A” names: Amanda, Amy, Ashley, Anna… > > I’m sure there are exceptions - my wife rejected all of those as potential baby names because of people she knew in high school. This is common but flawed logic. You have to realized that within, like, five minutes, your child’s wonderfullness will trump any reference to some historical jerk-face who had an identical name. For example, I could have named my son Adolph Hitler Mustard, and from that point on, whenever I hear the name Hitler, I’ll think not of that Nazi dude, but of my little Dolphie\* \*and his little Charlie Chaplin 'stache mmm ---
