    If my first-born is a boy, I promise not to name him Uber.
That's where he lost me. Why not promise not to name your baby girl Uber. Why does-not-naming-Uber only apply to boys. The definition of Uber is: "denoting an outstanding or supreme example of a particular kind of person or thing."

Her name is Roberta - but we just call her Uber."
