A post over at Mental Floss (great site and great magazine, by the way) listed 6 baby names that you probably shouldn't use, including Batman, Eclipse Glasses, and Adolf.
I thought I'd add to this helpful advice for the mother- and father-to-be and list off some more names that you really shouldn't use for your newborn's name.
- Bruise Punchface
- Heyyoulittlefucker
- Phagit
- Underwear
- Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
- Hubert
- Eunice
- Fishysmell Tunapants
- Soup, although Boyardee is perfectly acceptable
- Lemonjello, Orangejello, or anything else you can get from your pantry (eg Browniemix)
- Moist
- iPod
- Scout
- Glasgow, Baghdad, or Moscow
- Flanders
And just in case I just picked all of the names you were just thinking about choosing, here are some names that are not only acceptable, they're kick ass!
- Optimus Prime
- Kal El (yes, I know, don't tell me that Nic Cage named his kid that. I'm not a fucking moron.)
- Killer
- Thor
- Deus Ex
- Max Power
- Cheetara
- Einstein
Go forth. Be fruitful. Multiply. And don't come up with a douchey name for your kid, okay?
In other Avita-news, we need your vacation photos! Not just any photos, though. We need specific vacation photos that show you and/or your family standing in front of something. Whether it's Niagara Falls, the world's largest ball of twine, or just some picturesque scenery, we need photos! If you send in a photo of you, with or without your family, standing in front of touristy shit, we will use that photo as part of the decorations for the huge 2009 Halloween Party! Just email me at adam (at) avitable (dot) com with the photo as an attachment, or use the form below. You don't have to be attending to participate, and the more people who submit, the more fun it will be!
Send me your vacation photo below. This is not the form to leave a comment, my delicately retarded friends.
This is not the comment form. Scroll down to leave a comment. This form above is ONLY if you want to submit a vacation photo for the party.
