Shall bury in it.

Sharpened to cut you down,
Ready to cut you down.

Of course. I'm just kidding around with all the strange names that we hear now. Naming people after presidents (especially girls) sounds so strange to me. Madison, Reagan, Clinton (yes, I've heard that), and so on.

That's after George Clinton. Get it right!  |

Aiden, Liam, Ethan, Noah, Logan...
Did these parents put much thought into the naming of their sons or did they just flip open a 10 year old copy of New Musical Express and point?

reverence, which one cannot
withhold, is
laid on lightly, with terror--as if
one were holding a dandelion back
into the sun.

Ζω τόσα χρόνια σ`αυτό τον κόσμο και δε γνώρισα ούτε ένα κακό άνθρωπο παρά μόνο τον εαυτό μου.

Jacob and Isabella are on the list because there the main characters in the "Twilight Saga", so I don't think much thought or concern is put into naming kids anymore. |

Those are all great names, except for Logan. I don't pay much mind about why, because I was named after a movie star, but it was a saint's name. Logan is hard because it is a last name, but maybe they have a good middle name. I think it is good that they are real names as opposed to Sunshine, which is a pretty idea, but shouldn't be a name.

So long as the kid isn't named after this guy:  |

"And so, Lord, do you, who do give understanding to faith, give me, so far as you knowest it to be profitable, to understand that you are as we believe; and that you are that which we believe." -- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)
"But Christianity preaches an obviously unattractive idea, such as original sin; but when we wait for its results, they are pathos and brotherhood, and a thunder of laughter and pity; for only with original sin we can at once pity the beggar and distrust the king." -- G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
