Believe me, I'm not going to be pushing them to be lawyers. I want them to do something productive and respectable, like selling "Rollexx" watches on a Manhattan street corner.
All I'm saying is that if you name your daughter Destyniee, you can cash in that college fund and sign her up for pole dancing classes…

I can't remember where, but I read an interesting piece on the topic of names as destiny. Could have been in Freakonomics or somewhere like that.
Having grown up with a 'girl's name', Lorrie, I get really frustrated with parents who name their child something unusual. Especially when the parents have normal names. Friends Mike and Sandie have named their children, Cedar (boy) and Magnolia. Hard to keep my mouth shut.
I still get stick for my name. Recently a taxi driver said to me, Isn't that a girl's name? Yes, I almost punched him in the back of the head. Instead I growled at him and he STFU.

Tommy was nearly Clark Smith, Pams maiden name is Clark, and I fucking love Superman. Not that most of you would probably think that Clark is a particularly strange first name, but then again most of you don't live in a town populated by a generation of kids called Jordan or Becks…. I shit you not.

My wife was pregnant during the NFL season and I would joke with her about naming our daughter, DeBrickishaw or something like that. She didn't find the humour in it.
Clark is a solid name, but there's definitely nothing wrong with Tommy.

His name is Thomas, and I managed to sneak Harrison in as his middle name….. she wouldn't let me have Indiana

We named the dog Indiana…

Does make it easier to remember.
I tried to talk Julie into following the George Foreman route (his children are named George Jr., George III, George IV, George V, George VI and Georgette), but she was having none of that. After all, Chris can be either a boy's or girl's name, as kids reminded me for most of my life…
