Beastie Boys, The Mix-Up
Conner: I think the Beastie Boys are going for something very unique — they're the trendsetting parents. Many parents we advise want to be just like the Beastie Boys when naming their kids. However, that usually doesn't give their kids any advantage. Parents who do "the mix up" on their kids' names usually go for something like throwing a traditional male name on a girl. Some of the most popular examples today are Kennedy (masculine name of Gaelic derivation meaning "misshapen head"), Jameson (meaning "son of James") or the third-most-popular girls' name in the U.S. today, Madison (which is of an English surname meaning "son of Maud").
Wheeler: Starting a name with "the" is a little too common now. Why not "mix it up" by popping in a tasty adjective instead, like "fresh," "hot" or "thumpin' "?
I don't quite understand the premise of this column. here's a link for those as confused as I.:confused: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1558592/20070502/50_cent.jhtml
Wheeler sounds like a tool. in fact, sounds like an entire Home Depot. but then again, I'm a little biased...........
