My rule is that if you wouldn't snicker to hear the name announced in a baseball or football or basketball lineup, it's OK.
Bah. That doesn't work for people who roll their eyes at sporting events.
I'll tell parenthood like it is and never, ever ask anyone when they're going to have kids, but you tell me how I'm a "stupid breeder" and I'll cram the spare pacifier in my pocket up your ass.
That's a perfectly reasonable response.

Ahem! Please put your librarian stereotypes away.
Sparky beat me to saying it, but yeah, it would be nice.
My rule is that if you wouldn't snicker to hear the name announced in a baseball or football or basketball lineup, it's OK. And I'm sorry, but "Now pinch hitting for Willie Bloomquist, #57, Alistair Smith" doesn't sound all that good.
Alistair is better than Willie. William is a fine name, and Will, Billy, and even Bill are acceptable nicks for the same. But there's nothing manly about Willie. Too much of a wee association there.
I'll accept that not everyone conceptualizes Alistair the way I do. But I really don't hear how it's so different from Aidan, Ian, Sean, Dylan, Owen, etc.
What about Say Hey Willie Mays?
In a complete change of topic, I saw this sign last night outside a place in Adams Morgan:
"Applesauce Wrestling" followed by something about being vegan.

To me, Miriam is an earthy Jewish folk-singer with crazy hair and surprisingly sexy glasses. Well, CASG, I suppose.
