Gregory Craig is President Obama's...

...White House counsel and in the news lately because it's rumored he may be leaving his post. Who cares? I'd like to concentrate on that name for a minute: Greg Craig. If you were his parents, William and Lois, and you could have named your child anything at all, would you have chosen Gregory, knowing that he might someday go by the name Greg Craig? Think about it. You have the entire universe of names to choose from. Okay, only the male ones. And if you're Catholic, only the saints' names. But even if you are (and I have no idea what religion the Craigs were) there are still over 10,000 saints (although I'm sure there's some overlap in their names). But that's still a lot of names! They could have named him Basil, Sebastian, or even Fabian--that would have been cool. And what about the man himself? Why doesn't he adopt a nickname, like Chip or Sonny? Any of those would be better than Greg Craig. I know what you're thinking: maybe he likes his name. And maybe he does. But I noticed he named his own sons Will and James.
