What are your favorite names?
If I may highjack this survey briefly, while remaining somewhat on topic and ranting… My favorite names are normal, person names. There is an alarming trend to use the event of naming your child as a medium for creativity. This would be okay, if it didn’t sometimes yield children with names like “Carbon” (I swear!) and things like that. If you want to get creative with a name, buy a dog. Don’t stick your poor child with it. It’s just mean.

Not going to college.

“It’s whatever, man.” I have got to stop saying that.
