Yep, some from that school are just that weird....
My uncle went to Texas A&M. Luckily, he did not name either of his children Aggie. Though he did name them after where they were born...Virginia and York. I'm sure, growing up, York must've been teased by the other schoolchildren. Anyways, even though he didn't name either of his kids Aggie, he is still a very weird person.

Oh, man, that reminds me of an old commercial for the Chrysler Concord. The ad campaign was promoting the car's roomy interior, especially the backseat. I only saw the commercial once because I expect it was pulled off the air quickly.

Mom, 5-ish-year-old daughter and baby are driving in the car.

Daughter: Mommy, where did we get our names?
Mom: Well, we named you girls after where you were conceived. Your dad and I went on our honeymoon to Savannah, so that's how you got your name.
Daughter: And what about my sister?
Mom: [long pause] ...Um... Concord is a city in New Hampshire, dear.

bwhahaha i had to think long and hard about that one!!

sigh, i dont think naming a kid New York (Univ) would be flattering. Hell, it got that skank 2 seasons on a highly rated show... but i digress...

I suppose I could go with Gallatin, Stern or Tisch, as they are all names of people anyway. sheesh, EVERYTHING at NYU is named after someone... i wouldnt be surprised if 20 years from now, i visit as an alum to the "Wachovia Student Center" or "Verizon Wireless Library."

Actually, I like Cole (after Coles Sports Center). That might work. Let's just hope he/she doesnt get beat up.
