A Girl Named Delicious
June 30, 2005
A Girl Named Delicious was at the same playground as my daughter and I yesterday. I know that was really her name because her siblings (Daisy Ellen and Daniel Bill, and no I'm not making it up) kept calling her that, and the mom called the names of all three several times. Parents give their kids all kinds of weird names, but I never really bought into the idea that naming your offspring should be a personal vanity project. So I guess for the same reason, I'm not too keen on boys being named after their dads. Too much originality (there IS such a thing, believe me), or too little. Still, I guess being Delicious might have an upside. If she can deal with the plethora of taunts and tweaks as she grows older, it'll strengthen her character, and perhaps her sense of humor. On top of which, suppose she turns out to be a talented singer, or actor, TV newsperson or famed podcaster? Then her name will be an asset. Hell, maybe it's an asset already. I can sure see her resume getting a second look. Things could be a lot worse, anyway. Posted by Matt Rosenberg at June 30, 2005 05:42 PM Comments:
Here in Las Vegas, Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller fame) and his wife just gave birth to their new daughter: Moxie Crimefighter Jillette All of the sudden, "Delicious" doesn't sound so bad, does it? Posted by: ScottC at June 30, 2005 08:50 PMand in my early days in Ladysmith BC there were a lot of Finnish settlers, several with the last name Uren. And one of the daughters was named Fanny. So then Moxie Crimefighter Jillette doesn't sound so bad, either, does it ? Posted by: Lorna at June 30, 2005 09:12 PMPost a comment
