Or what about "Rimmer Humphrey"?

So, they're revealing the folks (eight of them) who won the PowerBall lottery, and one of them is named Chastity.

It seems to me to be bad form, at the very least, to name your child after anything having to do with sexual habits. It's bad enough that we have celebs naming their children "Audio Science" or "Apple". We're not far from "Fellatio Smith". You know, because it sounds Italian.

Well, one might say that since there are already places (in Pennsylvania in particular) that have such suggestive names, why not people. Fellatio Smith would not be wrong for its connotation, bur for its lack of subtlety. Now if Chastity were from Intercourse, PA, that's comedy.

Well, the closest I can do is to say that I knew, back when I lived amongst places named Paradise and Intercourse and - ahem - Blue Ball (so not even kidding about that), someone named Chasey.

Methinks the Deviant should consider one of these options for Baby Bananas. Rimmer Humphrey H______ has a nice ring to it you know?

I just re-read that comment I left.
Rimmer Humphrey H______ sounds downright classy. Presidential even.

I say go for it.

Uhm, no. As much as I want to live up to my blogger handle in every sense of the word, I just can't go there.

There has been much debate over the prospect of potential Bananas names and a great many have been disqualified on the basis of playground twisting. I.E. Lewis into Poopy Lewpee, etc... However advanced "Rimmer" might be, not gonna do it.

I do find myself wondering if Asa Hutchinson ever got "Ass-uh" though.
