Unfortunate

Eden was just talking about the burden of being named Eden, and how her husband trumped her by being named Jack Kennedy. From Fussy I cruised over to the NY Times website, where I happened to find this quote in an article about how circumcision can cut the risk of getting HIV from heterosexual intercourse in half:

Circumcision is “not a magic bullet, but a potentially important intervention,” said Dr. Kevin M. De Cock, director of H.I.V./AIDS for the World Health Organization.

Oh yes. I think we have a winner.

You have to love it when people end up in careers perfectly suited for their names.

Like the pastry chef at The Continental Midtown, Kate Honeyman. Or the former head of my OB practice, Dr. Mama.

Oh, I have one...my former OB/GYN doctor at Kaiser was James K. Massengill. I never made any comments to him about his name, but some time after I had been seeing him, his nurse told me that *was* his family - the douche company. :D BTW, he was an awesome doctor, who I was very sorry to give up when I changed medical plans.

A pediatrician on call was "Dr. Supersad" and I had a really difficult time not saying "this is super sad" while describing how my son had been vomiting et al for days.

But, your find is absolutely the best. :)
