Bad Names Blues

This is the day and age of absurd child naming - see Suri Cruise (AKA scientology spawn); Pilot Inspektor Lee; and of course Moxie Crimefighter Jillette.

I mean, really, how do these crazy ass celebrities think their kids will deal with this crap! As someone who has gone through 26 years of life with a strange name, I guess I should feel some sympathy... or empathy... but I don't. These kids will be spoiled and probably be brats. I hope they get beat up for having stupid names.

But that is really all beside the point. Lets talk business. If you are opening a restaurant, think twice before naming it. Please.

Case in point:

I understand Pho King but I wonder about the Vagina Tandoori. Is there some justification?

I honestly think that both names are great for business. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Pho King was deliberate. They all reflect what people want.

My baby names choices? Carlota Romero if it's a girl. Hephaestus if it's a boy.

A rose by any other name is not an Inspektor Crimefighter. In reference to your communal nomenclature musings, Vagina is sanscrit for... wagina.
