I hyphenated once they told me to breath into a paper bag and everything would be alright.

I have a good friend who's first middle and last names are all first names...

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

My mother's first and middle names are unisex. :)

My first name is more typically seen as a last name, albeit with a very different spelling. My last name has been used as a first, and I think it's quite cool (although I am somewhat appalled that a recent "celebrity" baby was given this name).
