Most people have a good idea of what they plan on calling their kids. Never have I desired to name my kid Chuck. There's so many things wrong with the name. Imagine your kid being taunted with "up Chuck" or having to be reminded constantly of the horrible doll Chucky. But for some bizarre reason, the name's taken a firm grip on the entertainment industry.
Kelsey Grammer comes back to primetime after 11 years on "Frasier" to play a reputable co-anchor on "Back to you" called Chuck Darling. The teen novel "Gossip Girl" finally gets adapted for our viewing pleasure and the male villain, some obnoxious rich kid, is called Chuck. Jessica Alba does her first romantic comedy and it's called Good Luck Chuck. Adam Sandler pretends to be gay for I believe the first time in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. In the new show "Life," the wrongfully imprisoned cop is called Charles, which is where the nickname Chuck comes from. And last but not least, there's even a show about a geek with government secrets named "Chuck."
So basically what I'm asking here is...Is there no other name that writers can think of or did Hollywood unanimously decide that Chuck was the It-name of the year?
