I was confused there wasn't a single Obama or Trayvon. I then realized these yahoos are too old. This list will be even more ridiculous in a few years when those clowns names start popping up everywhere.

[cagoodwn]

Wow

[Beaudog1]

At least they're making good grades. They don't pick their names . . .

[kevinw]

Sounds like in the Canton schools if you can just spell you name then straight to the honor roll you go.

[Hambone]

Or just spell it the same way twice...which is a real problem with many of those "creative" names.

[duckter]

I've said it many times, these "Parents" do not understand the "Future" negative connotations associated with these types of names. A recipient and reviewer of job applications just might file 13 it they see that. May be a great and qualified applicant, but...

Signed,

I agree. I meet many bright young men with similar names. Many are first generation high school graduates. By the time they get to college they are sensitive to this issue. I've convinced many freshmen to start using their initials or shorten it to a common name they can use on their resume. I have reservations about doing it though. One one hand, I want the students to be true to their homes and families. On the other hand, I don't want talented, hard-working students to sit on the sidelines because of their name.

[duckter]

On another note, a customer of mine that works for a Fortune 500 company once told me, if one has "Eagle Scout" on their resume, they move to the top of the good pile.

Did you type the list or cut and paste...hope for your sake its the latter.

+1 on both accounts from a hiring stanpoint, except I'm not so sure the parents arent aware...may be equipping them with a good excuse for the rest of their lives and a good excuse is all you seem to need these days for someone to cry foul and have to make ammends.

Nosmoking (nahs mu king) was always my fav
