- It’s a family name
- It was the name of your best friend in college before he died
- You’re a Chinese immigrant and you want him to fit in
- You always wanted a dog and subconsciously…
- You don’t like him already
- He has your father-in-law’s chin, which means that he’ll be a bully, which means that you might as well just give him a bully’s name, which means that you’re actually contributing to the bullying of other kids with names like Seth and Chris
- He’s already taking legendary, monster dumps
- He seems dim and clumsy
- Because he’s not your son, he’s the bastard son of your wife and her dentist, Dr. Renolds–Dr. Doug Renolds. (But you’re not angry.)
- It’s in the Bible…somewhere
