You know, it’s not often I take the time to plug someone else’s book, but since I didn’t write this, I suppose someone was bound to someday.
This is so great– some guys at Ancestry.com just came out with a book called "Bad Baby Names," in which they list tons of completely bizarre baby names, like Mary A. Killer and Ima Jerk. Here you can find the Today show interview, where one of the guys talks about some of the funnier names. I haven’t seen the book so I don’t know if they’ve tapped this list that I’ve been formulating for the past couple of years, but I’m definitely getting a copy for dinner party amusement purposes. I’m really curious to see if they interviewed any of the oddly-named people, just to see if they were scarred for life.
By the way, still waiting for confirmation as to whether our beloved Groovy Nipples has passed on. Anyone have any info about this? Please leave it in the comments. We are dying to know.
Special thanks to Lisa, who probably doesn’t want her last name on my blog, for the link!
