I was doing it mainly for the joke potential every time we had to "change" his diaper.

The only "unique" names that aren't trashy to me are maybe classic names that were once popular in a different era but you don't hear much anymore. Those are acceptable - not the new alphabet soup names.

If it takes a creative name to make your kid special then you have a problem.

A lot of what we consider traditional names are phonetically correct but misspelled names, since they derive from names originally spelled in Hebrew. John, Mary, and Susan are some examples. Do you mock people who give their children those names instead of Johanon, Maryam (or is it Mariam or Miriam, hard to tell because Hebrew was written without vowels) or Susannah? Our so called traditional names are a product of the creative process that you don't like. I doubt more than five people (and I'm bring generous) on the OT have a name that existed in its current spelling 1000 years ago.

I've seen that but I still laughed. My little brothers name is Aaron and I have started calling him that now.

Sad but true. That name is destined for a stripper pole.

Just work a "comma to the top" in there somewhere and you're golden.

Oh yeah.

I don't really watch TV anymore, so I had not watched Key and Peele until one of my friends made me watch those on the youtubes. I was skeptical at first but I genuinely laughed.
