[blparent] Baby names

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Kids can come up with taunts you wouldn't believe.  Here are just a few I 
got with Jo as my name!

"Whoa, Jo, you're too slow."
"Jo-Jo was a man who thought he was a woman ..."
"Jo, Jo, you stepped on my toe."
"Yo, Jo, whadda ya know?"
"Hey Jo, you're a pro.  I'm a poet and didn't know it."

And so on, and so forth.  My brother got teased mercilessly for having the 
name Peter, which he didn't shorten to Pete.  I knew a kid in school who got 
called Fartin' Martin so much that he started going by his middle name.

Actually, I think Daphy is a cute nickname.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
