It's all in a name.....

There will never be a President Chrissy. There will likely never be a Dr. Chrissy, or a lawyer; or a rocket scientist. But there will be a porn star....

I have come to the conclusion that there is a lot of destiny within a name. Be careful how you name your children. Now days there is a lot of liberty being taken with naming children; and with the spellings (yes Allison, this is directed at you). Let us consider a perfectly normal name- Fred. Just normal Fred is a fine name-for a fish, or a turtle. When you add an "i" to the end- so the name Fredi- I think of a little "dog" with too much hair and a little head. But there are people with that name. And what about names that are androgenous? Not that there is anything wrong with that- but when I see the name Tracy, or Sasha, or Kelly on a piece of paper, I automatically think of a female. So it is quite confusing when I make a phone call and it's a guy! Oh, and let me tell you about the disappointment when the guy with a gal's name ends up being really hot. Man, I can't imagine screaming out "Tracy" in the heat of passion!

Some of you may be thinking that I am being a bit of a hypocrite, seeing as most people refer to me as Chris. But, I have a defense for this. Chris is a cool name.
