Today, a replay of a past patriotic version of the BNOW. These names really show American parents beaming with nationalistic pride.
From the book: Bad Baby Names by Michael Sherrod and Matthew Rayback:
Flag Hill
Nation Hamilton
Knight Patriot Smith (St. Peter Hospital birth announcement) - The Knight Patriot sounds like a bad B-movie hero.
Further proof that bad names aren't a new thing:
States Rights Gist – A lawyer and confederate general from South Carolina (b. 1831)
Legal Tender Coxey – Son of Jacob Coxey, a socialist politician from Ohio (b. 1870’s) - Tender Coxey was known all over Ohio as a smooth ladies man.
Right Boot . . . Got It!

I'm a guy pushing 40 who loves movies, sports, TV, books, music, video games and comic books (basically all things entertainment). The posts will likely be random ramblings of entertainment stuff I enjoy, some 70s, a lot of 80s, the 90s and today, all very likely smothered with a heavy dose of cheese. Kind of like an easy listening blog station. Oh yeah, and a lot of bad or unfortunate names.
