Sticks and Stones
For the naming challenged I present the Institute for Naming Children Humanely." You might laugh, but have you been checking on celebrity baby names lately? It's a sad, scary state of affairs.

Oh, but the Utah Baby Namer has a whole host of other cringers. Like "Aeynnee", and "Zelpha", and "Curg". Oh, my.

Curg Craig has a ring to it. Probably exists in some alternate universe.

That's hilarious. While I don't agree with all the pronouncements about good and bad names, I certainly do find some of the examples cringe-worthy. Like "Preston W. Nebel-Trowridge", for instance. Or the many variations on "Caitlin". Or, dare I say it, "Britney".
