You couldn't at least have opted for Mary Jane?!?
Each year, my office holds a poster contest for the 5 million children in our programs across the country. We typically get about 500 entries, all created by kids from extremely diverse backgrounds. So it's no surprise that we see some unusual names--but this one raised some eyebrows.
One adorable poster was the handiwork of 8-year-old Marjuana. Yup. Without the "i," of course, but still! Can you imagine the taunting and teasing this poor child will endure through her life? See her in the executive suite, introducing herself to clients, "Hi, I'm Marjuana!" And I thought Gwyneth P. crossed the line when she named her child after a fruit. Little Carl, be glad you have a normal name.
