What’s In A Name?

The other day I met a couple who had a week old baby boy nestled in a snugli. I feigned interest in their new addition and asked, “What’s his name?”
“Kingston,” the mom replied with a straight face.
I managed not to burst out laughing. I mean, the name would have been fitting had they been talking about their 90 lb. German Shepherd, but this was a 7 lb. lima bean for godsake. WHO HAS TO GROW UP SOMEDAY. And what, be a frat boy? A lawyer? Will his friends call him King? Sheesh.
I guess it’s a good name to say during sex though, very romance novel. “Ohhh Kingston…” That should be a test every new parent tries with the name they’re considering for their kid: imagine it being moaned during sex. “Ohh Andrew…Ohh Ashley…Ohh Burt…Ohh Bonnie…”
PS: Are ALL women named Rachel bitchy? Just wondering.

It’s the women named Tiffany/Tiffani/Tiffini who are the real bitches.

Kingston is Gwen Stefani’s kid’s name. And we know how you feel about her.
