[Opinions] Re: Triplets in my local paper.
It's nice that they chose names that had such meaning to them. Myself, I would not choose Sylvia Plath as a person worthy of naming a daughter after. I'm not all that familiar with her writings, but she was a very messed-up, tragic person who did commit suicide. Just not a happy association.They should have realized it's Mother Teresa, not Theresa, it seems to lessen the association somewhat when the name isn't spelled like the person being honored.

Sylvia was tragic, yes, but not really messed up. She was more of an anachronism, a feminist before her time.
And I checked the article again, and turns out it was Teresa, not Theresa. Sorry. My Bad.
