Danica McKellar, who played Winnie Cooper on late 90's TV program "The Wonder Years", has just had a baby boy.
She named him "Draco", from the Greek 'drakon' meaning "dragon; serpent"! From it is derived "draconian", meaning excessively harsh or severe.
Draco is Harry Potter's nemesis in of all the "Harry Potter" books, a very negative, even evil, character. Could you imagine hanging a name like that on a kid who has to go through life with the villain's name from a classic series of books and movies?
Its like calling a kid "Jean Valjean" from "Les Miserables" or "Quasimodo" from "The Hunchback of "Notre Dame" or "Judas", Jesus's betrayer or "Sue" (re Johnny Cash), condemning him from the git-go.
What was she thinking? She graduated summa cum laude from UCLA with a BS in mathematics in June 1998. Obviously, they didn't teach her the humanities or math is no longer a liberal art.
