Nomenclature

from the ABC set

Your name is no accident,
but a conspiracy
between parents
and their copies of Heat magazine.

They spell it capriciously,
as though in rebellion
against mockers
of their lifestyle from Gratton's mail order.

You'll grow up to hate it,
as long-forgotten
C-listers no
longer remind anyone of their fifteen minutes.

So true but it could have been worse; they could have been reading Playboy/girl ;) (or Wuthering Heights)

oh good! another conspiracy theory. I wonder what nostradamus has to say about Heat magazine. hopefully celticman will come along and you can have an interesting argument about it which I can read as an avoidance tactic. I like your arguments : )

Regarding Playboy/girl/WH I think the Playboy route is very common in the US of A: how else do you account for Brandi, Kelli, and all the other Silli affectations?

I'm holding out for Heathfield being the boy's name of 2018 after the Hollywood version of Gibbous House comes out. LMAO.
