Re: What names on the charts right now is the worst?
I would say Gunner and Remington.

Imagine that as a sibset 😂 their brother could be Bolt Action Rifle
I know someone who named their kid Colt, after the gun! Colt, Gunner and Remington would (sadly) be a perfect sibset.
I will never understand the obsession with naming a child after a BRAND.
This is going to sound very dramatic, but I think brands have kind of replaced religion and philosophy. Or at least, they have an equal seat at that table. Brands represent so much to people now, ethics and aspirations and codes to live by. Brands are the way people say "this is who I am, this is what I live for". I don't understand it either. It's creepy, which is sort of fun, but also not.
I would have to agree. Consumerism is almost like a god for some people. The purpose of their life is to be a consumer. When you put it that way, why wouldn’t someone name their child after a company that “reflects” their philosophies.
