Comments on: Is it all in a name? http://www.ammusings.com/2008/09/is-it-all-in-a-name/ a mishmash of thoughts, ideas and (occasional) rants from a sassy, single 30-something Sat, 28 Aug 2010 01:30:28 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Keith http://www.ammusings.com/2008/09/is-it-all-in-a-name/comment-page-1/#comment-34 Keith Mon, 15 Sep 2008 23:12:52 +0000 http://www.ammusings.com/?p=64#comment-34 No offense to your dad, but nobody has named their child Herb in the last 50 years. I looked it up on the Social Security website and it states that the name Herb is "not in the top 1,000 names for any year of birth in the past 40 years." It's nobody's fault, really. Burger King (and some awful ad agency) ruined the name "Herb" in the 80s. Period. And then there is the whole issue of whether you should call him "HER-b" or "ERR-b". I mean, come on, even Martha Stewart waffles between the two. No offense to your dad, but nobody has named their child Herb in the last 50 years.
