I downloaded a trial version of Family Feud because i like the aussie version on TV, came across this question and was stumped.. shocked to see the results.
The question i ask you, if you had a kid born on Thanksgiving, would you name him Turkey, Pilgrim or Thankful?

I'd definitely name my kid turkey. No doubt about it. =p
Some would probably name it after a Valentine's Day condom gone bad after ~two weeks.
Wishbone - I'd name him Wishbone and look forward to the day to make my wish.
No - please. He would not be stuffing, or mashed potatoes, nor gravy, nothing stupid like that. However, you know the world is round and it takes all types.
For instance you and your question ;)

lol- I'd have to call my kid "turkey" or "turkey kid" just for fun. what a crazy question as in reality I'd name my child a non thanksgiving themed name.
You can call him anything you want,just don't call him "late for dinner"......Actually "Pumpkin Pie" might be the cruelest choice for a Thanksgiving themed name.For a boy anyway.
I'd only name him 'Pilgrim' if he looked like John Wayne.
Wasn't wishbone a name of a dog on a book show on PBS?
Yeah, Wishbone was one of the driving forces behind the Jack Russell terrier craze. Those happen periodically, of course... Staffordshires during the Spuds McKenzie days, Dalmations upon the re-release of 101 Dalmations, etc. etc.
Of course, that often causes problems. People see dogs and they become fashionable, but they don't know about drawbacks of certain breeds. Dalmations are often deaf (that's why they were associated with riding on fire engines, the sirens don't bother deaf dogs). That can create training problems. Jack Russells are notoriously hyper. Shar-peis, a breed that was fashionable in the 80's, have horrible hereditary skin problems.
There's also the flip side of the coin, where public perception will basically blacklist a dog. My dad, a veterinarian, owns two pit bulls. They're both very nice, gentle dogs. Those of you that own both homes and dogs know that your homeowner's insurance will ask you what breed of dog you own, and if you tell them rottweiller, Dane, pitt bull, or some other breeds, you'll either be denied coverage or pay increased premiums. There's nothing particularly vicious about pitts or rottweillers, but problem dogs are more of a problem because they're larger than problem pomeranians.
That's not to say that there aren't breeds that I steer completely clear of, most notably akitas and chows. I would never own either, because I've found them to be unpredictable and troublingly aggressive, to an extent I haven't experienced with other breeds. But a dog is an individual, so you have to usually judge them on that basis.

omg, that just spun off on the most extensive tangent evar.
i wonder what happens if some says "benji" or "lassy" or "rin-tin-tin"
Guac you left out Odie and Opus, oh wait, Opus was a flightless waterfowl, not a dog. Was Bill the Cat a dog?
