and this kids mom brings him in for something (probably sick). She checks him with the girl at the desk sitting next to my wife.

The girl asks what his name is and the mom responds "jathen."

The girl at the counter says, "jathen? like Jason with a lisp?"

the mom looked like she wanted to reach over the counter and strangle this secretary. She politely responded "no, Jathen, like Jathen."

My wife had a hard time keeping a straight face through all of it.

Moral of the story: If you don't want to get stupid wise cracks about your kids name, don't give them stupid names.
