Welcome to the Monkey House


 A Treatise on Debilitating First Names
Back to Full Blog  

We all know that people are stupid. Just the other day, for example, I saw a video where a gun safety teacher shot himself in the foot in front of his whole class. Now most of the time the children of these idiots can go on to lead successful lives, though it usually involves moving out of the south. There are some children, however, who are destined from day one to suffocate under the rotting carcass of their parent’s tutelage. These are the unfortunate souls whose parents have named them things like Aquamarina, Chandy, Spring Moon, or Keagan.

What the hell?

Seriously people, lives are being ruined here. Aquamarina will grow up to be a stripper, Chandy will change her name to Cathy right before moving away to college and severing all ties with you, Spring Moon will think her name is cool until that first job interview and by then it will be too late, and Keagan, poor Keagan will get his ass kicked everyday by kids named Tommy and Billy. Is that what you want?

So please, before you decide to spice up your child's life with a name that no one has ever heard of, or written down, or been able to pronounce correctly more than 50% of the time, remember that this is FOREVER. It's a lot like that tattoo you got right after high school graduation. You know, the one with tribal significance? Someday little Gunner is going to ask you what it means and you'll have to explain to him that Daddy doesn't always think things through. Good luck with that.

Really funny post about names...nice job. Thank God I'm one of the "Tommys". "Welcome to The Monkey House" is one of my favorite Kurt Vonnegut novels, too, btw.

Great post about the names. What were they thinking? I know a Colt, a female Harley, a male Karol (Supposed to be Karl with a "twist"... but ppl keep pronouncing it like Carol )Didn't they ever hear the song "A Boy Named Sue"? LOL!

As for you and Moody laughing yourself to the bank I'd thank you very much to pipe down, for those of us with names like Chandy and Keagan and oh say Loren (which might seem normal but anybody thats ever tried to spell it without seeing it first can tell you otherwise) play nice. Thanks. ;)

You can usually tell the age of a person by their name. My age is Connie, Donna, Susan, Cathy, Debbie etc..
my daughters age is Terri, wendy, Penny, Lori Anne. etc.
I know people who have kids named star eyes, Axel, Jamaca, and such.
thank God my kids used normal names for my grandkids. Alex, jake,Silas,deakin and Chrissy.
I think the world will turn back to old fashoned names. Weird isn't good.

Yeah, isn't Loren a French mans name? I can only imagine the abuse an older brother COULD have heaped on a girl like that if they had wanted to.
