Certainly someone has already taken this overhead smash, but, do you really need to ask this?

I think maybe your TITS are impeding your brain function.

I thought it was funny. Children are short.....

That's easy. Boys are carriers of the family name, and reputation, and traditional (i.e, recurring) names make them seem more likely to succeed. That's why boys' names are more stable. Girls are more like accessories. Pretty, trend-following names make them seem more attractive to successful men. Traditional names make them seem old. My grandmother's name was Mildred. That seems to heavy and depression-era to dump on a cute little pixie.

An update - I'm sure you are all riveted. My name was on the top 1000 for the year I was born, but just barely (in the 900-1000 range). It is several hundred places higher on the list today. Yes, I'm that much of a trendsetter. Carry on.

The guy who played Arliss- Fat, 5'8" , Shitty actor5

Pete Sampras- talking to Tennis Yoko in seven series BMW, left a waft of stink behind him, 6'1

Kate Hudson= chain smoking anorexic mom. My sister was very disappointed.

Steve Buscemi- seated, but appeared short and slightly annoyed.

Ba Ba Booey= High fives, very nice.

Mel Gibson- approaching midget

Ron Howard- very tall

the guy who coached the Knicks and then the Heat- tall.

Stephanie Seymour- tall and anorexic

Richard Gere- 5'9 or 10" and very nice

Greg Brady- schleppy looking.

James Woods- pockmarked.

and

Fabio- maybe six feet, highlights and gayer than cheese. very nice. has his own cereal special at the cajun place on sunset.

I ran into Danny DeVito at his daughter's college graduation a couple of weeks ago (my cousin was graduating from the same school). He appeared shorter than his reputed 5 feet.

I have noticed though that it seems more common and accepted for girls to be given unusual names than it is for boys. I'm not sure why this is. I've never dated a guy with a name that was not in the top 50.

It certainly seems true, and I'm not sure why, either. Maybe there's an assumption that girls don't need to be taken as seriously, so you can have more fun with them. That response sets my bullshit detector off, but I can't think of anything better.

The only guys I've dated with unusual names had surnames as first names. One of those names is now wildly popular, but it wasn't about 20 years ago.

I'm still not naming my next daughter "Receptacle".

I understand from a guy who used to work with him (when he was a hairdresser before he took up acting) that he is 4'10" in his shoes.

Does he surround himself with really short people? He always looks a lot taller than that to me.

I disliked my name somewhat when I was growing up. Mainly just because of the common mispronounciation problem. Now I really really like it. If I were a celebrity, I would only use my first name. That is harder to accomplish in the legal world, it seems.

Ha! and 2 (for my own name, that is -- I didn't have a view on your name in the 70's - and for the record, my view on your name is "three thumbs up!"). Actually, I like your name way better than mine. In fact, if I were a celebrity, I think I'd change my name to yours. Not only that, I think I'm going to start insisting people call me by your first name. Only the first name. I'm going with no last name, difficulty-to-accomplish be damned!!!

All my elementary school teachers totally butchered my name, despite my correcting them countless times. I've since stopped bothering to correct people (sometime during college, I think), and now when people discover they have been mispronouncing my name, they get all uppity and shit.

2 again! If I had girls, there are loads of names that I think would be nice, but with boys, options are limited. We could have gone with Solomon (a name I rather like), but it happens to be the surname of an ex-boyfriend that mr.dtb is rather (and without cause) sensitive about, so that was out. Our boys have very common names. The thing is, everyone tries to be so unusual, that the "basics" are the new unusual! I realize now that I'm so ahead of the curve, it's frightening. {{shudder}} (I just scared myself.)

Dorothy and Edward
Gloria and Gumecindo

Of my grandparents names, I'd most likely to choose Gloria for my little kid were I inclined to try to keep up tradition.

I'll just get straight to the "good stuff" because the surrounding circumstances were entirely too detailed in bizarre to get into, and they're just not that interesting.

So, my internet boyfriend (that would be Shape Shifter for those of you keeping score at home) and I planned a rendez-vous at this high-school track meet so that we could make out and stuff. Now, though I was overwhelmed with desire during this making out/feeling up interlude, I felt it wouldn't be quite right for me to actually do the sex with my internet boyfriend in a public place (what with my being married and all), I procured him a substitute for the actual sex-having. The substitute was Gwen Stefani. [WTF?] I am so in contention for internet-girlfriend-of-the-year. Can I get a "hell, yeah"?

We then made a plan to meet later in his old apartment (as opposed to his new apartment - just upstairs from the old one) for the actual sex part. That part was off-camera though.

That sounds like a fun dream.

As I sit here today*, I can't recall ever having a dream about the FB or FB people. Am I the only one?

*I am still waiting for paigow to finish her search of my posts over at infirm to confirm.

Yes. Though I also really did think he was taller than that.

Harrison Ford and Jude Law are very disappointing. Sucks the hotness right out of them. Have you seen Jude Law in person?

Someone told me Jude Law looks like a very handsome man who was put in a clothes dryer on "hot" and then taken out an hour later, shrinky-dinked.

Before the Brazenette's gender was determined, we decided that we would name the little fetus after my grandfather if it turned out to have two x's rather than an x and a y. My grandfather's name was Abraham and we settled on Braham as a reasonably modern take on the name. My mother was apalled.
