That's just plain nauseating. How pathetic can these people's lives be that they actually provide free lifetime advertising to these corporations by way of their kids? Worse yet, the kids don't even know it's being done to them. Imagine going thru life with the name Timberland. "Hi, I'm Timberland Johnson, my parents were so unoriginal they named me after some boots they like to wear". I guess it could be worse, they could have named after shit they like to eat like maybe "Manwhich" or "Cheezewiz". Maybe that's next.

I grew up in the late 70s and 80s when everyone was named Jennifer or Michele. Both of those names are nice, but I wouldn’t have been happy being Jenn S. or Michele E. for most of the school year. (Also, I noticed that Michele morphed into Nichele and Mechele in the early 80s.) If I were to have children, I’d pick something original as well, but I have to agree with the Spaniard here – brand names are a bit hard to swallow. Think for yourself or try mining other cultures or countries for names that would be unique in the US like Ahud, Ute, or Laksme.

If it seems appropriate to follow your name with the word "Bowl", something is wrong...

I think the name "ManWhich" and "funkman" would fit in nicely with "Inheriting luggage".
