Why I hate the name "Chuck"

OK, I've gotten a bit of grief over the last few days on my self confessed loathing of the name "Chuck". Aparently there is a small but active group of ChuckHuggers out there who have taken issue with my stance. Polite yet disturbingly insistent emails have found their way to my inbox letting me know that "Chuck" isn't so bad, and anyways it the person that matters isn't it? While I may agree with the second part of that statement conceptually, the problem is that the person CHOSE to be called "Chuck". Except in the rare case of hick parents who went with "Chuck" as a legal name while deep in a Yoohoo and Robitussin induced haze, "Chuck" was someone's preferred diminutive of "Charles". Can you imagine what the world must look like to a person who thought their best choice was "Chuck"? Yipes.

Vacation next week. Yippie!
