Whenever I see one of those clueless white trash monikers... Dakota, Montanna, Logan, Brianna, Cameron, Kaylie, Mackenzi, Tiffanie, Caleb, Cheyenne, etc.

Wasn't Caleb some dude in the Old Testament?
The rest I agree on. Whenever I see names like that I reflexively form an opinion of that person-- "just another brick in the wall. Insipid, uncreative, petulant, ineffective and boring. Limp handshake too, no doubt. Unworthy of my time." More often than not I'm right. I bet I ain't the only one who makes judgments like that, parents...

I'm in agreement with you, maxwell. The other names on IH's list are unworthy of consideration, but Caleb is a good Biblical name.

Sadly, I also agree that I'm not as likely to take a "Dakota" as seriously as I would a "Daniel." I know it ain't right, but there you have it.

Here he is in Numbers.

Numbers 13:6
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb son of Jephunneh;

He's definately an ancestor of the Israelis. Probably Likud at that.

Numbers 13:
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, "We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it."
31 But the men who had gone up with him said, "We can't attack those people; they are stronger than we are."
