Damien Will Always Be Evil. Period.

I am as equally fascinated as I am repulsed by the ridiculous names people come up with for their children. I know everyone wants to be "unique" (even to the point of naming a child Unique or some accented version of it), but seriously.....The selfish desire to be different is coming at the expense of your child's future need to lock himself/herself in a watchtower someday, and this is never truer than for boys. I admit I pondered a few slightly creative names during each of my pregnancies, but the positive pregnancy test had NOTHING on the positive penis test once that ultrasound showed off what gender I was incubating, and once Jay knew they were boys, all bets were off. His rule of thumb for EVERY name I proposed was simple: Will he get his ass kicked on the playground? So for the parents of Ciall (pronounced, believe it or not, as Kyle), I suggest you just name your child your own parent's name, 'cuz even though you're trying to be the exact opposite of them, you already failed and your kid is going to hate the shit out of you. And for those who name their kid Damien in this day and age, they must be really brave, really stupid, or really Amish. Either way, I'd prefer not to live anywhere near THAT kid.
