A Rose by any other name...

It's always surprised me how in a world as big as ours that people can manage to find each other and fall in love. A small twist of fate can decide whether or not we meet the person of our dreams or of our nightmares.

You could walk up the road everyday at precisely nine am and miss your " soul mate " by a minute or you could travel to the other side of the planet and meet the same person in a dive of a hostel and fall in love. Maybe your surroundings account for whether these feelings progress, I don't know. But anyway my point is to find someone you like let alone love is a bit of a gamble at the best of times, however to find someone, fall in love, get married and decide to have babies is a whole other thing. And that brings me to the point of my ramblings, how the fudge do these people both agree to call their children the worst names in history?!

People should not be destined to be together because they both equally have terrible taste in baby names, but I have heard some awful ones in my time. In fact whenever I know that someones had a baby or is close to giving birth I tend to ask what they will call it. It's like a sickness, I need to know what they will call the child so that I can decide if their main aim is to get their child bullied by the time they start school. I have no idea what drives these people to be such assholes to their kids but if it's to stop them from being able to buy key rings with their name on then they are winning big time.

I do not include any particular names that I find distasteful or amusing, after all my opinion on names may not be the same as yours but I will leave you with one thought. I once knew a girl that wanted to call their daughter after the place she was conceived, that name was Alley! Now that is classy!
