Hilarious Link

I was enjoying my typical Sunday morning - lazing around, wasting time on the computer, and (unusual) watching my Lions not suck - when I ran upon this link :

http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/

Culled from discussion lists of people proposing awful names for their children, and sarcastic commentary. Whether you're thinking of naming children or not, it's pretty funny.

Bonus for fanfic writers : It's like a glossary of Mary Sue names!

Unfortunately, I have to go off to work in about half an hour. :( Taping the end of the Lions game and the Boston Legal episode tonight.

bluephoenix - you have to check this one out. I know y'all have already named the little one, but it's too hilarious.

OMG this is hilarious. I 'm bookmarking this page. I manage birthday parties and some of the ones that come through are just hideous. I had no idea there were so many variations of Kayla/ Kaylee/ Kinzie. Not to mention Keaira, Chilonea, Myrissa, Mikel, Paighton. These are all in the past month or so!

*hisses at the Mary Sues* Wha? None of my characters are, thank you very much!!! :D

Intended as more of a joke. Some of us were working on a "Is your character a MS?" purity test for the fandom I like to write for. None of mine have any of these whacked-out names either.

Yeah.. someone posted a couple of those on the White Tower divison boards.. I was glad to see that I'm not a godder (aka - what I've always known a MS to be before).

I should get together with some of our other staff and make a MS purity test for the WoT world.. hee!
