I'm thinking about names today.

Limburger cheese is received with turned up noses. Semi-soft, stinky "artisan" cheeses are placed on tasting trays and given respect.

Sauerkraut, gross. Kimchi? Intriguing and exotic. Both are fermented cabbage.

Can I interest you in a pair of shower shoes? How about these cute flip-flops from Old Navy?

Would you wear a tummy shaper or Spanx? Grandma did too, but she just called it a girdle.

Dinner might be carne macinato e tagliatelle or perhaps we'll just call it Hamburger Helper.

"What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet."
~ William Shakespeare
