Gretchen Mol Has Pretty Much Assured Her Son Will Not Have a Drug Problem. Or Friends.
So one of my best friends has an older brother named Adam. When we were in high school, Adam used to get into all sorts of trouble with his friends, and his dad would be like, “You know, this never would have happened if I’d named you Orson.”
Gretchen Mol has embraced that line of thinking, naming her month-old son Ptolemy, ostensibly after the Greek intellectual about whom little is known beyond his written work. So, you know, he may have been a raging pedophile.
The “p” is silent, but little kids won’t know that.
I bet this kid gets called “Pot” for short.
Your plan has backfired, Gretchen!!! Mwah-hahahahahaha!!!

What a cruel, cruel person. What type of person names their kid something like that?

Invest in boxing gloves. They better teach him how to fight.

What an idiot. I hate when parents are so smug and think they gave their kid the world’s best, most original name. Instead, they gave their child a world of torment and spelling.
