No, I didn't misspell windy; although it is terribly windy tonight through tomorrow. It serves two purposes one to refer to the weather and the other because it is the name of a girl I was friends with in college. It also segways really nicely into a new book called Bad Baby Names. It refers to the song Boy Named Sue by Johnny Cash. It talks about how poor name choices affect people and it gives examples of real names claimed in the census. There are some crazy names but my favorite was Garth Vader. He was fine with his name thinking it wasn't so bad until the 70's hit and Star Wars happened. I'm sure Garth would love to meet Steven Spielberg in a dark alley. My other favorite was Bud Walker whose children were listed as: Buddy, Little Bud, Little Buddy, and Least Buddy. A couple more in my top favorites were Mary Christmas and Happy Day. How much fun would it be to answer the phone with those names?! Oh - if they were roommates...!!!!
Mary Christmas and have a Happy Day.
