What the Phinnaeus?

"Psychologist Cleveland Kent Evans, who studies names and their social effects, says the unusual-name trend among celebrities is a kind of self-reinforcing phenomenon. 'I don't think of these names as coming just from celebrities so much as coming from creative celebrities, or at least those that want to be thought of as creative,' he says. 'It's the musicians and actresses and to some extent the visual artists who give those sorts of names to their children. You don't find the politicians and athletes giving names like that to their kids.' "

Whether you give a rats-about Julia Roberts or not, everyone will have an opinion about the names she has chosen for her new twins. When you decide to reproduce, be kind when selecting a name. While you might think its cute or trendy, imagine what your offspring will be thinking when they are having the crap beat out of them on the playground for being "different".

Thanks, mom and dad, for giving me a name that I have always liked - Steve.
