For those of you who have family members (maybe your own children) I apologize, but I really would like to see all the names Aiden, Cayden, Jayden, Braiding, Fayden, Laden (with their multiple spellings) to stop. Ditto with Katelyn and the 100 ways to spell that name as well.
Let it be known that in 10 years, kids will be saying "I'm going to see Uncle Connor and Aunt Briana this weekend." Actually, knowing the preferences of the typical Connor, it would be more like "I'm going to see Uncle Connor and Aunt Gary".

Proper way to spell them? "John", "Michael", "Joseph", or "my parents are pseudo-Irish homos who like the Red Sox even though they were born and raised in Kansas and have never been east of the Mississippi River".

One of the ultimate crimes against humanity involves mismatched ethnicities, and the pseudo-Irish (and actual Irish) are the worst offenders of this. My last name is Hungarian. This means that, if I so choose, I can name my kid Levente, Csaba, Janos, Tamas, or anything else along those lines. What I cannot name the kid is Connor, Keegan, Giovanni (even though I'm half-Italian in descent), Lars, or Teppo.
And yet all the time, I seem to see these halfbreed little bastards with some empty-sacked feeble excuse of a father who allows his 6% Irish wife to make a decision. "Oh, we decided to name the kid after my great-great-grandfather, who came over from Ireland because he was driven out of town for being too sober. So our son is named Connor O'Callahan Tsakashvili."
And if anyone thinks I'm being too hard on the Irish, I don't agree. If anything, I'm being too soft on those limp-dicked drunken gingers.
