Five Reasons Why Naming Your Kid Bronx Mowgli Makes You Look Like An Ass

1) Because somebody, somewhere, is going to think that it's racist – or at
least, a lame demonstration of cultural insensitivity at its stupidest
- and they're probably right. Oh, what? You named your really white
kid after a romanticised savage-feral child in a story written by an
imperialist racist and also appropriated the name of an ethnically
diverse neighborhood in a lame attempt to make yourselves seem hip? COOL.

2) That, or it demonstrates that your cultural literacy is restricted to
Disney. You didn't know that Rudyard Kipling was known for prattling on
about the White Man's Burden and romanticising the quote-unquote
savage? Oh, well. Shoulda stayed in school.

3) Two words: PLAYGROUND PANTSING.

4) Because it also demonstrates that you don't know how to use Google. Type Mowgli into a Google browser search box, and guess what comes up near the top? Mowgli Syndrome! A term that is often given to children that are found with severe
cognitive and/or physical deficiencies that are not the result of any
biological cause, but rather are due to severe neglect. Which, I suppose, isn't the worst thing. At least you didn't name the kid Bronx Munchhausens or Bronx Aspergers. Because someone might have taken offense to that.

5) Because the Beckhams hit up the New York boroughs for names first, and imitating the Beckhams is just so 2006.
