THE NAME GAME
Posted: Tue Oct 21, 2003 12:39 pm
A report by an Australian newspaper finds an increasing trend of American parents naming their children after popular commercial brand names. Case in point: Timberland, now age 3. "His daddy insisted on it because Timberlands were the pride of his wardrobe," says the boy's mother. "The alternative was Reebok. I wanted Kevin." A search of Social Security records found that in the year 2000 alone, 49 children were named Canon and 24 named Unique. Other names given to children that year include Jaguar, Chanel, Camry and Xerox. (Sydney Australian) ...The latter being twins, of course.
GOOD ONE!!!
