What's in a Name? Not So Much.

March 21, 2008 By appellationmountain 2 Comments

We at ApMtn can’t decide if we’re thrilled by the evidence uncovered by Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback in their new book Bad Baby Names, or a bit disappointed.

I’ve yet to read the book, but wanted to recommend the New York Times article.

    What a *fabulous* site! And congrats on the birth of Eli. He’s darling – and looks quite pleased to have escaped going through life known as Dragon. 😉
