No, “cutsey shmoopy names” are not at all cool. They are horrible.
With that said, and as a fellow resident of The Slope, I have to ask another question:
Is it wrong to name your baby after current indie rock superstars? I saw this mother who could not be more than three years older than me (im 29) yelling “come here Sufjan, Sufi, come here” at Union Hall a few months back.
And another question, why was that kid at Union Hall?
So I guess this is my way of playing “what’s grosser than gross?”

Sufjan is child abuse. So is Boaz, Lolo, Bindy and Bjork.
Hope that helps.
