Somehow a teen girl and I got into a discussion on what she would name a boy. As she went through the list her nose crinkled, and lips curled as she considered the name Chad. I said, I like the name Chad. She replied, Chad is the name of a guy who always poses with fish and wears reflective glasses. Please note this girl has a fear of fish so this is not a pleasant idea to her.
I started to laugh and feel very chagrined for my dear cousin, Chad, as I looked him up on FB In photo after photo, there he was holding some of the biggest fish ever. Sorry, Cuz. Love you!
