I meant to post this a few days ago, but hey I forgot. So I am out to dinner with Nate, Meyer, Jefe and Timmy at the Caledonia Uccello's, and on the TV is some pre Super Bowl coverage on ESPN. Ordinarily this would spur a different rant, but on this day they had a special guest commentator.
D'Brickashaw Ferguson.
Okay, so immediately upon seeing this hoss' name, my brain comes to a screeching halt. I want to know why. Why would someone force upon their child such a ridiculous name. I mean seriously, there are 3 whole syllables that really do not need to be there. Not to mention the apostrophe. Wouldn't it have been much easier to name him say Shawn. Shawn Ferguson, what is the matter with that. Easy to remember and to spell, and for a football player that is a plus.
There is a whole list of just sports names I could go through and tear apart, Anfernee Hardaway, but this was the most recent and receives my whole attention. What I am saying, I guess, is that I am tired of people who think they are being creative when they choose a name for their child, when in fact they are just making asses of themselves and potentially their children. I mean what is wrong with Mike. Everyone seems to want to be like him.
