#46: What’s in a Name?

Parents have one first – and very important – job, and that’s naming their kids. Major Gamble is like dropping a bowling ball through the floor. No one should grow up with a name like that. Even Major Chance is better. At least it isn’t Major Major Major, like one of my favorite characters from Catch-22!

Still, Major Gamble is better than Shanda Lier, or something like Mhaveryck. That’s just cruel. Can you imagine being in kindergarten and not only having to learn how to spell that but also correct every single person on your name pronunciation? Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for original and interesting names… but some names should NOT be a thing.
