        The recent trend of parents going out of their way to give their children unique names has brought up a lot of discussion on social media. Some of these names sound cute when a child is 5 years old. But will Caeleigh, Zoomer or Rhyedyr look like a serious adult on a job application in a few years?A recent viral video on TikTok is a unique twist on the current discussion surrounding names. Samantha Hart has a name that doesn’t seem like it would draw any negative attention in professional circles. However, her parents didn’t consider email conventions when they named her back in the late ‘90s when email was new.“My name is Samantha Hart,” the 27-year-old said. “Most companies use the email designation of first initial, last name, meaning my email would be shart.” For the uninitiated, a shart is an unintentional release when one thinks they only have gas.

When I was a kid, there were commercials, and then there were television shows. An ad during Mister Rogers convinced me I couldn’t live without an Easy Bake Oven, but the show itself? Purely educational. My point is that there was a clear line between what was trying to sell me something, and what was designed to entertain me or teach me something. Whereas these days, my kids can’t tell the difference between an advertisement and any other content — because often, there isn’t a difference. Their favorite YouTubers are trying to “spend $1,000 at the store in one hour” or redoing their room every other week while promoting the latest home decor brand, leaving my kids with very little sense of how money works in the real world.
