I think I'll forward that article to everyone I know who's pregnant.

I couldn't disagree more strongly. Name your child what you think is a nice name and fuck everyone else's opinion.
I used to not like my name, which is unusual. But it's me. People who can't pronounce it or butcher its spelling usually don't listen and just pick a name in the small pool of names they have in their head that sounds somewhat like my name. It's annoying, but it's usually only the first of many annoying things the person will do.
I always find it amazing that people ask you what you plan on naming your child and then criticize the names you're thinking of. What do these people think when you give your child the name they told you was stupid?
Every name is going to pose a problem to someone. Every name can be made into a joke by other kids and if it can't, they'll pick something else.
Who the fuck wants a world filled with a bunch of people who all go by the same 20 names?
