For reasons likely to puzzle baby name experts around the world, American parents have become infatuated by names, particularly for their sons, that rhyme with the word "maiden." These names for boys include: Jayden (No. 18); Aiden (No. 27); Aidan (No. 54); Jaden (No. 76); Caden (No. 92); Kaden (No. 98); Ayden (No.102); Braden (No.156); Cayden (No.175); Jaiden (No.191); Kaiden (No. 220); Aden (No. 264); Caiden (No. 286); Braeden (No. 325); Braydon (No. 361); Jaydon (No. 415); Jadon (No. 423); Braiden (No. 529); Zayden (No. 588); Jaeden (No. 593); Aydan (No. 598); Bradyn (No. 629); Kadin (No. 657); Jadyn (No. 696); Kaeden (No. 701); Jaydin (No. 757); Braedon (No. 805); Aidyn (No. 818); Haiden (No. 820); Jaidyn (No. 841); Kadyn (No. 878); Jaydan (No. 887); Raiden (No. 931); and Adin (No. 983). This startling trend was present, but less pronounced, with girls names: Jayden (No. 172); Jadyn (No. 319); Jaden (No. 335); Jaiden (No. 429); Kayden (No. 507); and Jaidyn (No. 561). Social Security spokesman Mark Lassiter indicated that the agency would resist any legislative efforts to standardize the spelling of these names.

And if you've done this to your child, then you're a tool.

I'm just waiting till you get the chance to pick out your young'uns genetically. You'll be lucky if you get out w\ just a weird name.

Then all this "for the children" shyte is gonna blow the fuck up & someone'll make Khan.

He was a product of the Eugenics Wars.

*gasp*

At any rate, most kids are already raised to have Khan's arrogance, so now it is a matter of mating it with the physical and mental prowess.

And my second ex-wife. She said, "I wanted it to be unusual."

I told her to wait for about a year after having to spell Sorensen everywhere she went and then to apologize to them.

And she was/is a tool.
