Re: Freakonomics

  • LOL! I love that book. Madeline is our name if the baby is a girl, and I have a master's degree. That's funny. I read the book years ago!!! I'll have to pull it out to look for boy names.

  • That book is great.  The follow up book was okay.  That chapter on names only solidifies my decision to stick with "normal" names.

  • Love that book.  My favorite part is when they predict the "popular" names for 2020 or whatever year into the future.  It'll be interesting to see if they're correct!
