Unique.

The baby names are out of control. Seriously.

Names just don’t mean anything anymore. There are children named after cities and alcoholic beverages and the dreadful heaven-spelled-backwards, and there always seems to be one to many x’s or y’s. Everyone seems to be trying to hit the “unique” angle, but I don’t think anyone realizes that they’re all being unique in the exact same fashion. Unique, indeed. Just like everyone else.

All I can do is smile, nod politely, and murmur “Oh! What a unique name!” To which the parents beam proudly, as if they were the first to come up with the idea of spelling Simon with 2 z’s. Yes, apparently, it can be done. At some point, it’s almost abusive. Z’s are hard to write in cursive.

But today’s winner is Tomorrow. Honest, cross my heart. And her twin sister?

Wait for it.

Shmorrow.
