Top 10 Names Mathies Give Their Kids

  1. Variable (good for both boys and girls)
  2. Subset (chip of the old block)
  3. Ambiguous (even your parents can't tell if you're a boy or a girl)
  4. Binomial (hope your children grows)
  5. Binary (0 for boys, 1 for girls)
  6. Generated Function (you all know what that means)
  7. Taylor (sorry to the people actually called Taylor ... are your parents Mathies??) [Thank goodness folks like Greg Taylor and Nick Taylor aren't Mathie spawn — TaxiEd][That reminds me, Nick, you're goin' down! — Pete Love]
  8. QED (All profs seems to love this word)
  9. Orthogonal (Mathies are still standing tall!!!)
  10. Hyper-Geometric (just plain geeky, like us Mathies)
