Bad Names

Let's face a fact shall we? Some People are not meant to reproduce. The evidence for this is readily seen in the names they choose for the fruit of their loins. This is a list of stupid names. Names you should not name your baby. I've have already screened the African names and the Oriental Names. I knew a Thai chick in high school whose name was "It". She liked to be called "Susan", but her friends and enemies alike called her "Cousin It". I had an in-law whose name is "Sputnik". Her parents wanted her name to be "Historic".

See what I mean? So if you want to sign up your baby for counseling right now, use one of these names.

Sadly, the names are on the list because someone, somewhere has been named this.
