When my wife was pregnant for our youngest I used to “suggest” names of baseball players. She nixed Mookie, CoCo, Yovardo, Boof, Willy Mo, and (my favorite) Yunieski. She just has no sense of humor.

Watched a Thai film in which one of the characters was named Terd. I said nothing to my Lao friend.

Filipinos have the best nicknames. Bong, Girlie, Joker, Jinkie, hundreds more.

My aunt only named her children with D's. Danny, Dana, Darlene and Donna. Makes them easier to call.

I know another mother that has three males all named Peter. Guess papa's name. Today, they are Pete 1, 2 and 3.

My middle name is James, I was first born in 63’

My brothers middle name is Kirk, second born in 64’

Guess what my mothers favorite show was back then...?

In my first grade class there were six Michaels with M last names and another with a C. There were three Michale McDonald's and two Michael McCarthy's.

I get a laugh thinking about it today. Every time the teacher said “Michael”, half the heads in class would turn.

The only mistake is caring what anyone else thinks about the name you give your child. Foolishness.

Got any gum on ya Dick..?

Got a pencil Dick...?

I had too do it.

If I hear “Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore” or “Michale Michael motor cycle, turn the key and watch him pee” one more time I shall lose it.

They used to call me Michael Pie. Then Sparky. Then Ratsy... Now it is Hey Dick.

I feel your pain.

[now slap a first name that ends in a smarmy, cheerleader bimbo-esque “i” in front of that]

Just call me Shar.

I hate pom poms.
