Naming Your Baby ...Casey

Everybody grew up with a certain name niche. Depending on your family, friends, area, heritage etc, you may only want to agree with a certain few names while naming a baby. For example, on my dad's side of the family, we have the Irish thing going. Casey, Maggie Colleen, Micheal Patrick, O'Tater McDrunk, etc. On my mom's side, they are a bit more creative(?), because that is what they are used to. Fedra, Eliza, Elijah, Granada, Brock, Orange Peel, etc Sort of like Soap names.

Today on Captain Bartrum's Ridge ....
Brock: I think we should think about our life together, not apart
Orange Peel: You don't love me.
Brock: Damn you Orange Peel. You are right. Let us be together as one.
Orange Peel: But, but ....(kissing to the max follows)

What I am saying it that it is pointless to ask your friends or family what you should name your child. Everybody will try and force their name niche on you. Your friend Trent may like the names Roger, #2 Pencil, and Gary, while your friend Pam really thinks you should name your son Ole' Whitey, Harold or Vinny. Your stoner friend wants Marley and your meathead friend wants "uhhh." Your Italian friend wants "Spread-ah the cheese ah all over mya body-ah." All of your friends and family will never agree.

Also, through the years I have heard some really questionable rules regarding naming your baby.
"I can't name my baby Samuel because my neighbor's dog is named Samuel."
"My friend Stacey already called dibs on Johnny Cobra."
"I am Irish, so Xiou Xiang Xiang just doesn't fit."

SO WHAT!

You still have the last name, which is the all important one in terms of heritage. If you are lady, you are saying well I lose my last name when I get married. Well too fucking bad. Don't change your name then. I never understood that anyway. It is your family name, so if you want it, keep it.

There are no rules anymore with naming your child. None. But don't forget that some names have a heavy price to pay by its bearer.
Elvira: A 3rd grade punch in the face by Chad, the fastest kid in the 3rd or 4th grades.
Hannibal: A wedgie and a swirlie by his high school wrestling teammates.
Aquarius: A Jean Claude Van Damme double roundhouse to the collar bone.
Heinrich Himmler: Death

So what should I name my baby?
Pam: blablablabla
Dan: blablablabla
Mom: blablablabla
Casey: Casey!

DING!!!!

Casey is the answer to any problem with naming a child. Girl ...Casey. Guy ...Casey. I have even met several dogs named Casey. I would say Casey is a tri-sexual name, but I don't think anyone has a dog growing out of their crotch. With that said, I have yet to travel to Romania.
