"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
17 May 2004Gonna party like it's 1899Traditional and Biblical names seem to be the norm these days in Oklahoma; four hundred boys born last year were named Jacob, with Ethan, Michael, Joshua and Caleb rounding out the Top Five. Meanwhile, 388 girls were named Emily; Madison (can we blame this on Daryl Hannah?) was second, followed by Emma, Hannah and Abigail. Considering this is the state that produced builder Never Fail, cardiologist Safety First, MD, and one-time Attorney General Larry Derryberry, I'm surprised at the conventional sounds that some of these names seem to make. Then again, my daughter, born here in the Okay City, came this close to being named Penelope Layne. I'm sure she's grateful for the change of heart. Yet even with the name she did get, I'm sure she's in your ears and in your eyes. Among other bodily organs. Posted by: McGehee at 4:33 PM on 17 May 2004I'm sure it's me since I just woke up...but...
