In the words of our President, running the country would be a lot easier if there was a dictator. :rotfl:

Their parents are idiots.

I agree something should be done about them.

My mother used to know this lady whose name was Candy Cane.

Cute when she was 8 months old but how can a mature women operate in the harsh business world with a name like Candy Cane?

But ya know? That woman can change her name when she is an adult. Not a good argument on this one.

I had my daughter in a mom & tot, play class located in a very affluent suburb of Chicago three years ago. The kids names, I had to sit there with a straight face for 40 minutes hearing old testament names being bantered about. I ended up needing stitches in my bottom lip when I heard " Ezikiel, its not nice to touch yourself that way...." :hmm:

At least with that name you can shorten it to something cool like Walter Mosely's character 'Easy' Rawlins.

A friend of mine who's a naval history buff didn't name his son for the biblical name Esau, but rather Iso, for Isoroku Yamamoto.:rotfl:
