A quick jaunt over to good ol' Minne-snow-ta for some winter shots in my hometown. Spotted this awesome license plate. Too bad it's misspelled. Unless that person's name is actually "Keisha." In which case, that kinda sucks.
I've had a few clients named Keisha, pronounced KEE-sha. More and more American parents seem to just make up names. There's also a trend toward names that sound very old fashioned to me. See http://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/popularnames.cgi . It's clearly been changing over the years. In the year I was born (ancient times) the table says that my first name was the second most popular. My wife's was # 11 in her year of birth. Neither are in the top 20 now.
