Hey now, my dad's name is Earl, as is his dad. Probably cause Joseph William Atkin was yearning for the old country!

I agree with you here Steeljack. I REALLY struggle with the innocuous name concoctions that are coming up. It's really odd as I notice it mostly amoung the weekly "Police Reports" and also in the new birth sections of the paper. Most of these names come where only the birth mother is listed.

I'm still trying to figure that one out but I believe alot of it around here is a cultural (mostly Black) thing.
