One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for October 19, 2011

AMEN!

Ruthie you are so right!

Yeah there are some real stupid ones. Rummer, Scout and Tallulah

to finish, those are the ones that quickly come to mind. There are plenty of others.

Pilot, Apple, Coco, Sage Moonblood, Memphis Eve, Audio Science, Moxie Crimefighter and more. What’s sad is that this isn’t a new thing…Anyone remember Zappa’s kids…Moon Unit and Diva Thin Muffin?

Yea but some of those children with famous parents are making a name and something of their lives.

Bristol

True that, Ruthie!

It so happens that Comcast today talks about most regrettable baby names.

Remember Barbara Hershey’s and David Carridine’s son: Free. His mom breast-fed him right on national television on the Mike Douglas show.

Amen, Ruthie, Amen.

“And yet do you want a name like John or Joe that millions of others have? How about being open minded for a change?”++++There is a broad middle ground between common names and dumb, weird names like “Moon Unit” or “Unique”—how about Javan, Mel, Amandus, Balthazar, Celestine?

“Jermajesty.”

I changed my fantasy Medieval name to Beatrice. In my day (and my children’s) we were usually given some name passed down in the family and my first choices for a boy or girl also took into consideration a monogram which would be symetrical. This toon is funnier than James’ “Ninja worms” on today’s strip but that was good because Celene deserves whatever they give her!

Don’t forget ‘Cruz’…

“Chastity”? No wonder the poor girl is so messed up!
