That is an interesting article. Some of the kids, I do feel a little bad for them, I wouldn't really want to be named after Stone Cold, or Keira Knightley, but for the most part, it's pretty cool. Once, I was listening to my iPod once and realized how much I loved a song and the album it was on, and added the name to my list, but strictly as a guilty pleasure. If I could find a guy who liked it, I might do it. Maybe.
I do find it a bit strange, I suppose, that some of the kids are being named after people with perfectly good spellings and then their parents change them. Not Louie vs Louis, since Louis is legit, but like, Michaela vs Michayla, or Keira vs Kierra, because I really don't think Kierra is pronounced like Keira.
Jagger and Cash are both on my list, so I don't think they're too pouty or morbid.
My oldest daughter got her name, Celea, from an old Don Knotts/Tim Conway movie called 'The Apple Dumpling Gang.' My second child was named after Jane Seymour's Michaela Quinn on 'Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman' -- coincidentally, my daughter Michayla was born a beautiful red head. Third came my first son, and I know a lot of people will laugh at this one, but while I was pregnant with him, I became a huge fan of the WWF character Stone Cold Steve Austin. My oldest son is proud to carry the name Austin.
I also love James Taylor and considered naming a son "James" because of his song... In the end, I grew up and realised I didn't really like the name and that it was kinda silly to actually name your child after a song if you don't like the name!
The article makes me think of "Taledega Nights" and the two kids - Walker and Texas-Ranger.
