People who post under fictional personae ought to be banned.

And could you imagine just how weird my life would be if "Evil" was really my name?

Or what sort of strange expectations your mom had when she named you?

I'm curious if you only object to girls bring their men to your office. Do you object just as vehemently if a male student brings his girlfriend to your office? (I think not...)

Of course not.  He's probably just taking her out for lobster afterward.

You know, Whoopi Goldberg wondered out loud what Oral Roberts mom was thinking about when she named him "Oral!"

And wouldn't it be remarkable if Dr. Evil had been named for Oral Roberts? Then he or she would be Oral Evil.

I have to admit to wondering about that myself.

Thankfully, no, that's not it.  Does this mean I need to create a first name for Dr. Evil?

The book Freakonomics describes a guy who named his kids "Winner" and "Loser." Their actual lives turned out just the opposite as their names.

We named our two cats Sinister and Dexter, with no prior knowledge of what they were like.  Sinister was so badly behaved that she had to be put down.  Dexter continues to a ripe old well-behaved age.  Go figure.  (Sinister was a beautiful cat, though.)

Hmm. I named one of my cats Rascal. A more proper name would have been Psycho.

My advisor always made me get down on all fours, bark like a dog, and eat a dog biscuit off his carpet (no hands).  No way I wanted my spouse to see that.

My spouse woulda sold tickets.
