You Give Love A Bad Name

At least in the opinion of the Don. One of his pet hates is names, or the spelling of names, that he thinks are 'made up'.  Imagine the rant I got when he brought today's P&J home and showed me the New Arrivals section:

If you don't have your glasses handy, the names are Laiton Ritchie, Murron Sofia, Ianna Mary Elsie (sister to Andra and Corey) and Sawyer Journey.  Even one of the death announcements was a Chirsty!

I once viewed a TV programme on the propensity of weird (sometimes pseudo-Biblical) names amongst the Afro-American communities, which apparently only served to almost automatically exclude them from offers of job-interviews!! I think one of the Time mag columnists (perhaps Joe Klein) also humorously tackled this tricky subject, so Scot's in good company!
