because it... sounded pretty?

I just got off the phone with Mom. The daughter of her friend had just given birth to a baby boy. His name? Caid Maverick Diamond.
Yeah...
So, Mom and I got into a conversation about odd-sounding baby names, names that make you smack your face with your palm and wonder what the hell the parents were thinking. And Mom came up with a real gem -- real as in it's actually the name. Decades ago in Brooklyn, Mom's friend taught at an elementary school, and in his class there was a pair of twin girls. The names? Harmonica and Leukemia.
Yes. Two little girls, one of them named after a deadly cancerous disease. Nah, she wasn't teased in the schoolyard at all! /sarcasm
Nice, huh?
