There's a lot in a name.

Parents, or soon to be parents, this is for you.  When naming your children, do some brainstorming first.  List all the possible nicknames, abbreviations, etc that may be associated with the chosen name.  It's important.  Because let's say your child is interviewed one day by a TV reporter, and let's say the kid is lucky enough to get 15 minutes of fame on the local news.  Just remember, the name you forced upon your child will appear on a graphic, and an anchor will likely say your chosen name aloud as thousands and thousands of viewers watch the evening news and listen in. Such was the case with the following name today. (Yes, his last name is pronounced "KLICE").

"Dick Kleis"

(if it doesn't hit you right away, say it outloud a few times.)
