Baby Name Contest
WTOP news reports that baby names are moving from the typical to the atypical. Whereas once the little bundles of joy would be named such names as John, Mike, or Kevin. Now names are being influenced by pop culture references.
So now it’s a trip to make-believe land – a land in which I have sired many if any children. All of whom are named after pop culture references specific to my microcosm. Here are a few names that I’ve come up with based on things that influence my everyday life or things that just so happen to be in my immediate line-of-sight at the time of this writing.
- Goldstar
- Sharpie
- Gillette
- Bolskaya
- Casio
With names like these who wouldn’t want to have children. Anyways, I’m holding an informal CONTEST. All you have to do is to come up with a better name for a child than I have. Use my names and the names in the originating article as a starting point. There is NO PRIZE but I will announce the winner in their very own post on this website. Yes, your very own post. On this website. And be crowned as reader of the month or week or whatever. Plus in my posting I will write how you are such a great person for at least a paragraph or two. So there’s no reason that everybody shouldn’t enter. So get cracking. CONTEST ends in one week.

Baby boy name: Dad.
