I knew a kid named Josh Rising when I was in high school. Nicest guy ever. Of course, irony being what it is, he wiped out skiing his senior year, had a compound fracture of his lower leg, and was ever after known as Josh Falling.
I can think of worse ways to be teased with that name.
I have known both a Lolly and a Cinnamon, but the Lolly was a nickname for I forget what. Actually, each of those women was fairly wacky in her own right.
Dude, Rob Morrow is on Ellen talking about his daughter Tu. Tu Morrow. For reals.
You guys identified the same problems I had with the "depressed cities" list. Of fucking course NYC has high rates of AD consumption.
And growing up with a boy's name is not a huge deal.
A friend's husband is called John. Except that's not his name. He never has used his firstname. His lastname is Johnson.
This confuses the hell out of people.
"Issac" was my paternal grandfather's middle name.
I'm kind of surprised we don't have more wee or adult Elvises running about.
Yay for Isaac!!!!
My middle name is my mother's maiden name, which makes that as a security question kind of stupid. Not as stupid as people whose mother's maiden name continues to be her last name, but still. Everyone in my mom's side of the family has a family name as a middle name.
My last name is the same as my mother's. I feel like a jackass every time I answer the stupid security question!
My poor mother got a family middle name, but hers was bad-- McClellan. So she gave me one of what i think are the two most popular middle names-- Marie, because she hated her middle name. I then hated mine because it was too boring. I use my grandfather's middle name (which is his mother's middle name) as my middle name, Brooks.

Ok, none of the rest bother me, but that's just wrong.
I'm really having trouble dredging up any surprise that Detroit is the number 2 most depressed city in the US.
"Tu Morrow"? Why would you do that to a child?
