I love her, but like I need to tell her,
like without sounding like a narcissist, like, hey, like we
can't share the same name.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
There's a list and your name is not on it.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
It is the ten baby names at risk of going extinct.
So maybe you can picture these names because you're June,
and I would think June would be up there. But
these are the names that are going to extinct, by
the way, Lauren, Lauren, Karen, Sheila, Brenda, Gladys, Galvin, Roderick,
Gary Neville, and Dale.

when you're older, like Gary, Like you don't ever see
a baby Gary.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
You see, there's a.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Baby next door to me named Lou and I think
he's just a curious, a little fat due.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I think a little girl named June is cute.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
I think that I actually though, can feel like I
kind of relate because I love my fiance's name. I
think Kadeem is such a unique name. I feel like
the only people that you know that's like has Kadeem
is like kadem Hartisan right, And he refuses to give
me a junior. I'm like, it is such a cute name,
like a little baby kJ He's like, no, no, And
I'm like.

But that's cute. That's your man.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Thanks, June.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
You get it.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
You have to put yourself.

Speaker 5 (02:28):
You have to put yourself with the position of the
person that has a unique name.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
I don't.

Speaker 5 (02:32):
I didn't want to name any of my kids after
me because it sucked having a name like mine my
entire life. Oh that guy, I could see you liking
it now and going, oh, that's a great name.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
It's cool. But when you're a kid, it kind of sucks.

Speaker 5 (02:43):
So if you're a Kadeem, he probably had some challenges
with that name or maybe every back in the day.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
It was like from a different world that you Kadeem,
from a different hurt world. He gets Kareem quite a bit.
Kareem there go, you know, so I can see him thinking,
looking out for his kid. But anyway, June, so what
are you asking us? What should you do? Are you overreacting?

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah? Am I overreacting? Hey, like my little my new
best friend can't have the same name as me.

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Maybe ask for like a middle name, honor because it
is nice that she's doing that, and maybe you and.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Her will have a falling out. You have a falling out,
they never talk again and who cares?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh my god, no, no, no, no, this is my girl.
Like we have been friends for like twenty five years.
Like that cannot happen. We grew up together. Like, no,
I'm going to be friends with her for life. Her
daughter's gonna be my new best friend, like we just
it can't be June and June. Though I like the
middle name Honor, but like June and June.
