I overheard a woman in the Post Office discussing her soon-to-be-born daughter. Planned name? Talla Dega. “You know, like the race track. ‘Cause we’re big fans!” That child is doomed to be a stripper in Alabama.

On the other hand, one of my grandmothers was named Olean, so I guess I don’t have much of an upper hand.

p.s. – feel free to make fun of my name: Kai Boczkiewicz-Perez. Birth name, not married-then-hyphenated.
