Most bad baby names are just embarrassing, but this one’s philosophically bad. Let’s get this one straight, parents: babies are not products; people are not things. OK?

  1. Go ahead, Jayson; bad baby names are one of my pet topics. :-)
    Juli Loesch wrote once that she met a girl named Dinette: “What’s her brother’s name: Armoire?”

  2. Dear RC,
    Not only are children not a product, they aren’t simply miniature versions of there father/mother either. This is hideous philosophically and humanly. It is neither amusing nor is it likely to lead to any sense of self-worth. Bad all round.
    shalom,
