Naming things.

It is incredibly hard to name things. You ever notice that?


A: "What do you wanna call it?"

B: "i dunno..."

A: "well do you have any ideas?"

B: "... how about sparky?"

A: "you wanna name our son sparky?!"


we've all been there...thinking sparky is a good name for our sons... but in the end we realize what a poor poor life that little man is going to have if that was his name.

there is so much in a name. the name is like the first impression ... no its more like the zeroeth impression because everyone thinks about how that person is by their name (even if we dont know it or wont admit it) and when we meet them THEN we get the first impression.


Q: "hi have you met, sparky?"

R: "hi nice to meet you."

Sparky: "Hi ... rasputin, right? You know I didnt quite expect you to be chinese."


anyway, i think my point is clear. names are unnecessary.

but if names are unnecessary... would you just refer to everyone as "that guy"? because no one wants to be "that guy".

also, CAPTCHAs suck.

"that guy" just means you're ugly.
