Names
Last night at the doctor's office there was a 2 month old girl (yes with pink all around) there with her mom and someone else. (Don't know why, didn't ask).
I asked her name.
Chase.
What's her middle name?
She doesn't have one.
I wanted to say - ARGH, you have doomed your little daughter to a life of being called Mr. Chase .....
I had a lot of Mr. Leslie in mails over the years. At least I was given the middle name Arlene so I'd often write out Leslie Arlene on documents so they knew.
It's not the only unisex name I know - there are a lot of Chris's, Kims, and Frans out there and I know a male and female Jordan personally.
But the worst name ever, is the wife of someone I know through a sci-fi club. Her name is Keith. (No idea what if anything her middle name is.)
I could only imagine what people thought when they were ordering wedding stuff - Steven and Keith????
