Thought for the night

I am so sick of baby names.
Seriously.
I think it's important for everyone to have some baby names picked out before you get pregant so all your crazy hormones won't effect your decision of what to call your child.
Seriously.
It was super bad in Cedar City, but it's pretty bad here too!
I don't care what you say but Jagger, Sundance, Dafton, Calico, Jersey, and Rodrick are not cute names.
Also, I don't care if your great grandma's name was Mabel. You shouldn't name your daughter that.
And just so you know, Jackson isn't spelled Jaxon, Jason isn't Jaysen, and Kelsey isn't Kelsee.
Also, why not save girl's names for girls and boys names for boys?
I say if you want to be unique, you should just name your kid James or Katie. No one has those names anymore.
I guess I shouldn't be so mean. But can I tell you how much I cringe when I hear "Dafton, come here!" It's usually a mom with big hair. (that may or may not have been a rude stereotype)
Some names I've heard really aren't that bad. I think some names totally fit the babies they belong to. Example, my friend's niece's name is Josie and she is definately one. And it makes more sense if the name actually has some meaning to it. Not in the meaningful "I'm going to name her Izzy because Grey's Anatomy is my FAV-OR-ITE!" way.
But anyway, name away people! Let your kid grow up with a weird name! Let them all grow up to be 80 year old Izacks who marry Jesslyn Raes. It could be fun to see.

ha ha ha ha this reminds me of a conversation we had in cedar city not long ago.....
and aint it the trooth! i should start spelling my name as salm. ha ha ha. then i could fit in with the crazies who name their kids xochilinesstia and stuff and wear their hair real big with weird dangling jewelry. HA! then all the old timers who already give me a hard time for having a boy's name would probably have a heart attack. bah ha. ha.

I totally agree. But you knew that. Did you think a certain someone got the hint?
