Ah, another book for those parents who want to make their kids cringe everytime the teacher calls out their name in class… I hope no one actually takes this seriously, but I know I’m hoping in vain. The stars are giving their kids weird names, now why wouldn’t we? (Because it’s stupid, that’s why, but hey, it’s your kid you’re scarring for life.)

Anyway, this is the culprit: Sci-Fi Baby Names, the book. Luckily, it offers a wide range of names (over 500), some of which are actually normal, like James (as in James T. Kirk of the Enterprise). Of course, you could also choose to name your daughter (or even worse, your son) Barbarella.

Useful or not? Perhaps. At least as a fun present for a geek on the ‘your freedom ends now’ party.
