15 other possible themes for my podcast about whom not to name your kids after

After a rant about James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes, a few friends suggested I start a podcast about why you shouldn't name your kids after certain people. Season 1 would be the presidents. Here are some other possible themes for seasons. 

  1. Famous musicians
  2. Best-selling modern authors
  3. Classical authors
  4. British royals
  5. Oscar-winning actors
  6. Emmy-winning actors
  7. Marvel and DC superheroes
  8. Cartoon characters
  9. Sitcom characters
  10. Well-known news anchors
  11. Award-winning scientists
  12. YouTubers
  13. Podcasters
  14. Biblical figures
  15. Models
