Re: Celebrity names for their babies
See, I think this is what you're missing when you talk about kids getting teased for their names. Just examples off the top of my head, whether their firstnames are "stupid" or not:Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
Apple Martin
Beatrice McCartney
Coco Arquette (or whatever last name they gave her)Notice a pattern? It's a less common name followed up by a surname that belongs to a very famous and wealthy person. That actually does make them different from a lot of other people. Not "better" or "worse" but undeniably different. Baby Apple is going to grow up a lot differently than I did, and she'll likely be in settings where her name isn't a big surprise--or a big issue.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions. -Marx-
