I'm convinced I never concieved a child with my second husband (and we
tried, believe me!) was because I joked that I was going to name the
child "Brandy" if it were a girl or "Attilla Genghis" if it were a boy
(our last name was Alexandar, and that's not a typo.) and my husband
at the time LOVED the names and would get them on the birth
certificate because I would be incapacitated from giving birth.

I thank various deities almost daily that there isn't some
bespectacled nerdy child getting his daily thrashing because his idiot
parents named him "Attilla Genghis Alexandar"
