Becky Ihz Not ah Good Nameee .. Lol at all . Plies made a song To The Name & Ihtss Nott a good Name . I advise people Not Tu name there children that at least at this time of Year.
Seriously? The Plies song is about white women and fellatio and I doubt that most people will make the connection. The only reason I know about it is because of a facebook meme where you look up your name on the online "urban dictionary" to see what it means. The inappropriate song isn't exactly getting radio play and is unlikely to make it into any nursery schools.
