I had a couple of people's minds blow up last evening over my blog on the vaccination of children.
Well, while I am upsetting folks, I may as well go on and upset some more.
I read a story about an airline flight agent who made fun of a girl's name, and how upset the mother was.....
This is why I generally called people by their last names. And I knew it was time to retire my last year when I could no longer say one of my student's last name.
I know you are proud of you child.
I know you want to your child to be distinct.
But don't give your child a name that will trail them the remainder of their lives.
Don't name your kid " Kerry." I would use my damn initials, but they are K.D. and sound too much like "Katy."
I often wonder if we messed up with the spelling of "Reid's" name and should have spelled it " Reed." ( Ever the Anglo-Irish-Scottish fan, "Reid" is Scottish-Gaelic for "red." )
But think about what you are naming your children. At some people they are going to be 45 years old with a name people can't spell...nor pronounce.....
