Teachers: the names you will never name your own kids

[ComradesTrue]

I was at the park yesterday when I kept hearing a mom call her toddler "Mav." I was hoping that I just wasn't hearing her correctly, but much to my disapointment she later yelled "Maverick _______ come back here now."

Maverick? Seriously?

Maybe the parents really liked McCain/Palin.

I know someone with an older kid (maybe kindergarten age?) named Maverick and it really suits the personality of the child. I could think of so much worse for kids.

I have a new friend who plans to go to medical school, and she has a first name that is one of those people may take less seriously. Maybe she has a workable middle name.
