Reply to: Names that don't "fit" by Norah Namenerd
Well, I think that parents name their children names that they love, obviously. However the kid turns out, a name is just a name. As much as we name nerds like to think otherwise, names are only for ease of vocal recognition.

I do understand the sentiment though. I met a middle-aged, tall, bald man named Tracy. A young teenage boy with long, flippy hair named Norman.

That's all I can think of at the moment! I don't get too perturbed usually.
