Every year we see that list of the most popular baby names.
And every year, there is this debate.
Do you name your child something exotic to get noticed, or something drab so he can make it through childhood under the radar.
Personally, I say Childhood is tough enough without being saddled with a name your parents made up between drinks
My name is Charles, and my kids are William and Alexander.
I know, sounds like a law firm that would double bill you in a minute.
But I couldn't bring myself to throw my free spirit down their shorts and say..take on the day..
I've seen kids named Brandon, and Carson and Avery. Nice names, that is if you want to guarantee a regular playground beating. I mean it. The name helps.
If I had a girl I would have named her Hank.
The book Freakanomics describes how the poor give their kids exotic names so they might have a chance to be noticed.
And I appreciate the sentiment, but ya really want to help 'em?
Give em a little anonymity and a trust fund.
