By any other name...

A few of my co-workers and I were talking about what our parents would have named us if we'd been born the other sex. Justin had no idea, Mindy would have been Carl, Jr., and Cherif would have been Cherifa. My parents would have named me Richard. Dick! How awful. But the topper was Laura R. Her folks were all set to name her Sparky. She even has some baby clothes her grandmother made for her that are monogrammed "SR." I think Sparky is the best baby name I ever heard.
