Today I stuck it to the man. I had no intention of buying a crib when I went in to walmart. Wanted to show husband man this one I had looked at and when we went back to look they have like 5 of the cribs I liked for $159 and one that they had mispriced at just $59 so guess what... we bought a $60 crib. I felt a little bad but then I got over it real quick... Saved over 100 after taxes.

I'm surprised you got away with the discount due to a mislabeling, but grats on the purchase!
Customers have a right to purchase a ware at the displayed price here, but a certain amount of bonus pater applies, and as such, if it's clearly a mislabel (i.e. similar wares around it are labeled at another price), the seller can refuse to sell the ware at the mislabeled price. This is to prevent the customer from intentionally mislabeling a product in order to receive a discount.
When I worked in retail, we had a price sign for bananas hanging over a "spot sale" pallet full of electronic hardware. Due to the fabulous secret powers of the retail gods (mischievous bunch), the banana sign fell down and landed on the pallet with the electronic hardware. I am no hater, but I swear that within a minute of the sign dropping, a dozen Roma appeared and wanted to purchase various Blu-ray players for ~$2 each.
That's why the above exemption exists.

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

My friends have found that the middle name, and getting it to jive with the first name, has been more of a challenge.

That's something that bugs me too. I hate it when people's middle name doesn't flow with their first name. It also bugs me when people use generic middle names too. My best friend growing up, her name was Sarah Ann. I mean really, how boring is that? Would it kill people to get a little creative?
The closest a name gets to exciting is ridiculous.
Well I'm not saying you have to make a name exciting. I just don't like boring names. I like it when people show creativity, especially if they manage it without being weird.

Creativity with child naming is an art few should dabble in. No lie, I was watching a news bit the other night after the ball game and they were interviewing a bystander named Juwauna Johnson. I'll assume no further elaboration is necessary.
Edit: Much to my dismay, I just realized that is apparently a common name in *cough* some circles *cough*.

I actually messed up my attendant's name last night by using the Bengali pronunciation (which is very different).
I think it's kind of easier with Muslim names. I don't know.

I got my middle name from my mom. Mom and dad couldn't decide on a name (one wanted Peter the other wanted Martin), so I got one as my first name and the other as my middle name. It's just a middle name, though, so I don't use it all that much, and it's not supposed to be hyphenated to my first name in anyway, though teachers throughout the years have had a hard time understanding that.
I don't mind boring names, to be honest. Being called Bob (which is just short for Robert) is, in my opinion, better than Christophpher-Alexxander William Michael Smith III.

I guess I just have a thing for Irish names. Some of the more unique ones are rarely used, and they're unique enough without sounding too weird.

I used to know a boy named Wolf Alfonso. What. That name isn't normal in Germany, either. His sisters had ever so slightly more normal names. They were (fallen) royalty, to be fair, but still.
Also had a Friedrich Wilhelm (Frederick William?) and Jan Moritz (we used to call him Jean Maurice) at school. And a few other curious ones.
As for my middle names, it's my mum's name, then my maternal grandmother's name, then my paternal grandmother's. My parents fought over it a lot and this was their compromise.
This is also much easier to explain in Urdu as there are actual words for most family relations (ammi, naani, daadi in this case). Everyone should speak basic Urdu, Urdish is the most efficient language ever!
