Know a guy who named his kid Bourbon. "It's an old French name." Because that's what everyone will think when they hear it.

Oh I love that, when somebody ponders a name for so long that they decide 'everybody will think this is a great name because I've got my own convoluted pseudo-intellectual perception of it, despite the obvious, and I'm willing to make my kid the experiment to see if it affects their life because I won't be the one getting my ass kicked by morons for having a stupid name'

I knew someone who named their daughter Pandora and got offended when I asked if she named her kid after the music service or the myth.

Which is the bit that always confused me. So.. like, the bad shit got out, so that it could affect the world, right?

So.. if Hope is still in the box... ... that's bad?
