The Name and Blame Game

If one was such a fan of great philosophers to go as far as to name their child after Socrates, shouldn't they at least spell it right?

The other day, I took care of a vomiting toddler named Socratiez, or Socks for short.

The all-time record for stupid names goes to my colleague, who saw a kid named Shithead. It was supposedly pronounced Shi-tay-ed. And no, they weren't recent immigrants. Some things should be illegal.

We once had an employee at W-D who's name was Marijuana Brown.

And A friend in high school, Mary Silbernagel married a guy named Folin Christmas (although they divorced sometime later).
