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.
