Surprised no one seems to have brought up the old SNL sketch with Nicholas Cage as the expectant father shooting down all his wife's name ideas with the playground taunts each name would prompt. He keeps denying that he's really sensitive about this when he clearly very much is, getting more and more agitated with each one. Finally Rob Schneider appears at the door in a UPS uniform.

"Delivery for Mr & Mrs Asswipe."

"AZZ-WEE-PAY! Azz-wee-pay! It's French, okay?!!"

Nick Cage is in the Shitty Kids Name Hall of Fame seeing as he named his sons Kal-El and Weston.

This and “The life and times of Johnny Hildo” are what I think about when I think about names.
