People’s names can be pretty interesting: they can be traditional, they can have some deep meaning, or maybe they’re just spelled a certain way to be different. Names can follow trends (how many Jaydens did you know 10 years ago?) or can fade away (Elmer or Agnes?) And there’s all those funny names, like Richard Head. But sometimes, they’re just terrible.

Overheard of the Week

After the jump, cops, friends, and double entendres, sort of.
