Short Rant

Dear Brad and Angelina,

Congratulations on the twins and all of that. It’s great to have a big family. The nannies must be nice. But, how dare you steal my firstborn son’s name*! First, you are going to popularize it, or at least, moreso than it is now. And the percent of the population who doesn’t believe we are naming him for a reformer will think we are naming him that because of you.

Someday Perpetually Misunderstood,
me

*It’s been my firstborn son’s name for at least 14 years. And no, it’s not for the reformer. It’s a very prominent family name.

  1. At least you don’t have a daughter named Vivienne Marcheline.

  2. Oh, I’m so sorry. I feel your pain.

  3. Amen, amen, and amen. As we were discussing boy names, we agreed “Weel…that’s absolutely off the table now.”

  4. Huh….now I’m off to google the little guy’s name…I was out-of-the-loop due to the move and all.

    I feel your pain.

    My sympathies….

  5. Who are Brad and Angelica?

  6. Oh…I just saw the name…it all makes sense now. :)

    That’s sad. You know, I bet the main reason they picked it is because it ends in an X, and that seems to be the theme they’ve got for their boys. Your reasons were/are so much higher than that.

  8. Ditto on the name. It was our 1st choice too. So very sad.
