There's something wrong with people who want to rename things from the past. It's really disturbing

Damn straight, we need more biblical names these days. Like Jason, Caleb, or Tab.

I’ve been to a kindergarten graduation and a dance recital in the last week. “Travel ball” names ain’t got nothing on some of the absurdities I heard.

Or one of these:

Ewell, Ezekiel, Ambrose, Jubal, Hiram, Elias, Erasmus, Bartholomew, Abner, Hezekiah, Eustace, Elijah, Virgil, Lucien, Silas, Algernon, Prentiss, Rufus, Josephus, Archibald, etc.

That's halfway thru the alphabet from last names.
