I don’t know, there is a guy with that name who seems to be making a lot of money.

And the kid has to take the rap

And Eminem isn’t really a real name. It’s just Marshall Mather’s initials M&M.

Naming traditions have really changed. A couple told the hospital their new daughter was to be named Ezra, after some imaginary tv character. Hospital misspelled the name on the birth certificate as Erza, and parents did not bother to correct it. Very strange. Isn’t a newborn’s name important anymore?

Name him Manuel then you can call him Man Drake

One of our grandsons named his little boy Axl. But it could have been worse. I firmly believe God gave my sister two sons because she wanted to name her daughter Paulina Maude. Add that to a four-syllable German last name!

It DOES seem a mite cruel.

“I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss

And he reached for his gun but I pulled mine first

He stood there lookin’ at me and I saw him smile

And he said, "Son, this world is rough

And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough

And I knew I wouldn’t be there to help you along

So I give you that name, and I said goodbye

And I knew you’d have to get tough or die

It’s that name that helped to make you strong"

A Boy Named Eminen Drake

Oy

Parents can be odd. I know a Richard Head. (No one calls him Dick.) Another (family name Hock) named their daughter Holly.

My wife will allow me to name every other dog we’ve had. I was not allowed to name our sons.

As for cats, it did not matter what name she gave them, all of them were known as “furball” to me.

Now, I want to know the original punch line.

We had a cat named Buddha. When we took him to the vet, they wrote his name as Booda. I thought it was cute in a halloween sort of way, but we didn’t change it.

M&M Chocolate Ducks

Know a lady , named her kid Jesse James . A murdering bankrobber

Worse if they were related to John Candy.

It’s ones like this that make me wish they’d stop putting Unger’s signature on them.
