And Vernon, and Glenn. But in general, these names are well-chosen.

Dang man, Kenny, Kat, Clem, Molly, and Carley all seem spot on. That's some nice research.

Duck's name was actually Kenny junior... I think they should've called him by his name at least once. His parents using a stupid nickname... I guess they weren't very smart parents as well Although.. Katjaa should've been, she has education.
Have we heard Katjaa call her kid Duck even once?

This just reminded me that I added a shortcut to my iPhone. "Egg" autocorrects to "prebird"

Quote:
Brie \b-rie\ as a girl's name is of French and Latin origin, and the meaning of Brie is "marshland". Variant spelling of Bree, altered to coincide with the place name for a region in France most famous for the production of its cheese. Also used as a feminine form of Brian
MARSHLAND. MARSH HOUSE. WOOT.
