You know that song by Johnny Cash, 'A Boy Named Sue'? Try naming your kind Zap Dingbat. If that kid makes it past the Pledge of Allegiance in kindergarten I'd be amazed.

Lucida Sans actually sounds kinda pretty, her brother would be Gill Sans. Garamond, Palatino could also work.

It may be easy to name the kid after a font, but the whether bold, thin or dense...we will have to wait until he gets a bit older.

Yeah, it is stupid if you think about it.
- "Where did your name come from?"
- "My dad taught people about fonts."
- "What the hell does that have to do with you"
- "I don't know, my dad taught people about fonts."

I think it's a silly idea. I love type as much as anyone, but when it comes to naming another human being, I think it's better to find something of personal, historical or cultural significance that's more profound than your favorite font.
