If You Ever Struggle Over Naming Characters...

Maybe it's because I'm a writer or maybe just because I'm an oddball, but I've always had a strange, mystical fascination with names. I play a name game where I combine names of people who, if married, would have unique monikers (i.e. if Brady Quinn married Tom Brady, he'd be Brady Brady) (gender never matters, it's the name). I love the "are you serious?" names (once had a student named Rusty Nail in class) and I truly believe that many people who have the same names have something in common (not making examples for that one public due to possible retaliation).

So imagine how fun this article was for me this morning! Really...your name can determine your criminal potential. Who knew?

I can't help but wonder what Rusty is up to these days. And I'm so glad I named my son Jason!
