Naming Conventions

Nevergiveup: "We named our daughter Ariel in Hebrew and the same month Disney released the Ariel the Mermaid. Pissed the shit out of me and my wife"

Yet other folks name their children like that on purpose.

Several years ago, at a family event, I overheard my nephew say his girlfriend's name was Jasmine. I quickly consulted iMDB and determined that the Aladdin movie had been seventeen years back, so I said, "So, she's 17?" He said, yeah.

His doting mother, my sister, was sitting next to me, and immediately said, "You told me she was 18!" Nephew said no, I never said that.

I suddenly had to be somewhere else.
