Call for Entries: Name My Kids · 14 September 04

UPDATE: These are hot. Keep ‘em coming.

***

One of the schools I work at is a vocational school with 1,200 kids. That s a lot of tricky Japanese names to remember.

So, I’ve been giving my kids really goofy American names. Easy to remember for me, fun for them.

Right now, my favorite kids are named ‘George Bush’ and ‘Chicken’. I mean, ‘Chicken’? Come on, that s a dope name.

I also have a couple of Bob Marleys that I like, too. For some reason, though, ‘Tommy’ always draws the biggest laughs.

But there’s still at least one big group of kids that does not have names.

And here’s where you get a once in a lifetime chance: Name a Japanese kid.

For less than the price of a cup of coffee a day (free!), I ll do my best to name a kid whatever the coolest names you guys suggest are. At the end of the month, I ll post some pictures of kids and the names you have given them.

Yes, you ll get to see a picture of Chicken.
