“And i’m getting really sick of guys named Todd. Hi, what’s your name? Todd. I’m Todd. And this is Blake and Blaire and Blaine and Brent. Where are all these goofy f&@#!*g boys names comin’ from? Taylor, Tyler, Jordan, Flynn. These are not real names. You wanna hear a real name? Eddie. Eddie is a real name! What happened to Eddie? He was here a minute ago. Jackie and Johnny and Tommy and Bill. Danny, Larry, Johnny, and Phil. What happened? Todd and Cody, and Dillon, and Cameron, and Tucker. Hi Tucker, I’m Todd. Hi Todd, I’m Tucker. F&@# Tucker! Tucker sucks. And f&@# Tucker’s friend Kyle. Thats another soft name for a boy. Kyle. Soft names make soft people. I’ll bet you ten times out of ten, Nicky, Vinnie and Tony would beat the s*!t out of Todd, Kyle, and Tucker!” —George Carlin
But Michael? Really? I have a couple of Michaels in the cousin category, not to mention friends.
Women started insisting on these names, and the men (if they were still around) didn't protest. Or, if they did, she overruled them. I can't see a lot of men naming their son Jaden.
I'm with George Carlin, I like Michael. My husband's name is Frank and I would venture to say that very few boys are named Frank anymore. His father was Frank, and his great-grandfather.
My three sons are named Joseph, John and Alex(not Alexander).
