WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Some parents are giving their kids made-up names so they stand out later in life. Names like Wrenlow, Jaspin, Tovin and Evabeth. A new survey says 65% are willing to consider doing it, while 7% already have. Some moms and dads even admit to coming up with these names so one day their children will be easier to find on social media by potential followers. There is a downside though. Two-thirds of the people in this poll worry a made-up name might be too hard to spell or pronounce.

NETFLIX RECOMMENDATION

If you’re looking for something good to watch on Netflix, check out Sex Education. The streaming service has just renewed the series for a third season. Season two of Sex Education was released last month. My wife Jackie and I binged it the first weekend it was available. It’s really good! Asa Butterfield plays Otis who sets up an underground sex therapy clinic at his school. Gillian Anderson plays his mom and a real sex therapist.
