You Can Call Us "Distie"

We can't seem to get away from the name merging. I blame Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck - the ones responsible for inspiring this crazy phase. What is name merging? For the two people left on this planet that haven't been exposed, name merging is the combining of two names into one. Still not following? Here's an example:

Jennifer Lopez + Ben Affleck = Bennifer

It's stupid, annoying, and irritating on a level not experienced since What About Bob? And it seems to be a fad that is going to stick around for a while, as evidenced by the continued merging of celebrity names (e.g., Brangelina, Jennivaughn). I am powerless to stop it. Or am I? Perhaps, if we saturate the market with as many merged names as possible, people will come to their senses. The campaign starts here folks. I took the liberty of scrolling through my address book and merging names of my friends to get things rolling.

Anjy + Eric = Anic
Rick + Anya = Ranya
Sharon + Richard = Sharard
Petar + Svetla = Petla
Leah + Dan = Lan
Ann + Raymond = Annmond
Darwin + Adrienne = Adriwin
Jyla + Bobby = Jyby
Tanya + Mark = Tanark
Sara + Josh = Sosh
Tiffany + Jeremy = Jiffany

As for Darren and myself, you can call us "Distie".
