Those who know me have probably heard me rant about couples whose names are very close to one another’s in either spelling, pronunciation or pretty much anything. Erin and Aaron shouldn’t really be friends, let along date. Eric and Erica should not marry and have little babies to assign silly names to.

Now, being named Jeremy I’ve always thought I was pretty safe. I’d banned Jennifers due to my sister being one of those and having a bad experience with one back in high school. (Shout out to the Putz!) But today I stumbled across a girl name Jeremia.

Well I’ve never heard this name before, I’m pretty sure the poor girl’s mom made it up on the spot, and I’ll probably never hear it again. But just in case, all you Jeremia’s out there take note: We, you and I, are not going to get married. We’re not going to date and probably shouldn’t speak. It’s not you, it’s your name.

And while we’re at it. Don’t name your kid something that rhymes with their last name. It’s not cute, trust me its not.
