How Long Before They Can Spell It?

Mostly Cajun has a feature he does every Sunday on his blog where he peruses the birth announcements from the local paper and lists the ridiculous names that new parents have inflicted on their progeny.

Pretty much all of my life, after people heard my name, I have had to patiently explain, “Noooo, it was originally a boy’s name!”

So, I can feel these poor kids’ pain to some extent. Thankfully, the name I was given was simple enough to learn to spell before I reached college. Some of these kids will not be so lucky.

The gem of the post appears in the comments section courtesy of Bonnie:

You really have to wonder what the hell is going through these people’s minds.

And naming your child “Desire Mirage”? Future Strippers of America, rejoice and welcome your new member!

Heh. Good one!
