I loved that chapter in Freakonomics too. I work in a hospital. Actual first name I saw on an emergency department record last year -- AquaNet.

In Freakonomics, there was a report of someone naming their child Shothead, but with an "i" instead of an "o". Pronounced sheet-hayed.

My boys are Alexander Edward, Oliver Bailey, and Elliot Avery....last two are twins. Middle names are all family names. I think they are pretty strong names.

Diva Muffin?
DIVA MUFFIN?!!!
Holy cow, she must stay out of the lime-light, I didn't know that name.
I'm sticking to Catherine Elizabeth and Michael Anthony, should I be blessed with children.

Sadly, what I think of first is the battle that took place around Shiloh Church.

I really like the use of family names. Sets a standard; reminds kids who they are; gives them something to live up to or proves to them what can be overcome......

My dad's middle and confirmation names are Antoninus and Augustus, respectively. Oddly, his first name is Rudolph (grandma was a big-time Valentino fan, apparently).

I used to work with an Indian immigrant with the last name "Dikshit" ... he eventually had the spelling changed to "Dixit", to match the correct pronounciation.

"Expectant parents consult relatives and friends, leaf through scores of books and scour the Internet for just the right handle to reflect their little cherub's shining personality, obvious brilliance and unquestionable character."Since most names are chosen before the birth of the child, how does it reflect their personality, brilliance and character which are not yet developed? Just a thought.

This is my Tabitha (we call her Spot). She says she likes the name just fine. It's Aramaic for "gazelle," IIRC.

Happy to announce my son is named after me, Martin Jr. And yes I am a redneck.
