Naming Conventions

This is not a new story, but it’s a good take on it: people giving their kids bad, bad names. My favorite is Darvon, which you like to think is an accidental misspelling of “Devon” or something. Who knows though. And it’s long been a joke that Toyota has been stealing the names of black women for its cars, Celica and Corolla being the best examples. Of course, Corolla is actually a place in North Carolina, so there’s no reason you couldn’t be named for that, rather than for the car. But you have to wonder: are these people qualified to name their kids, much less raise them?
