Like Pilot Inspektor? (Jason Lee’s son?)
Rufus, Ignatius, Myrtle, Cornelia ..... ah prolly NOT.
A friend joked that he wanted to name his daughter “Crystal Chanda”. His last name is “Lear”.
Yes, I suppose Jabberwock would be worse.
Thank goodness my grandkids all have normal names.
That is, if you consider Greek names “normal” - my Son-in-Law is Greek. At least one of their names (first or middle) is Greek; my daughter picked their other name, and it’s more “American”. Personally, I think the Greek names are beautiful (I won’t name them here for privacy’s sake - just say they’re not far-fetched with many syllables; they came from members of his extended family).
And you don’t see a lot of Nebuchadnezzars, Haggais, or Abednegos either.
Shadrach, Mishach and Abednego are at least people you’d not be ashamed to have as namesakes. Pontius might be a bit of a problem ...
Say didn’t George Foreman name all his kids George? Takes all the hassle about deciding upon a name.

“When Jonita Davis, a writer and mother of six, married her husband in 1998, they were still teenagers, and they were both candid about dreams for the future.”
Funny article. So, Jonita had SIX KIDS when she married her husband in 1998.
Or Shandaleer.
How about Klamidea? Herpies? Ann-Gina? Will da Beast? Di-Rhea?
“I have a better idea: Read your Bible. Find names there.”
When I was very young, I once asked my mom why they gave me and my sibling such boring names. She stated something to the effect “you’ll have enough to deal with in your life, you don’t your name adding to that”.
And yes, the FIRST PLACE we went for naming our kids was the Bible. The names are timeless and beautiful.
Could have been Parentheses or the ever popular Diarrhea.
If you haven’t figured out that “cool” won’t whitewash the henhouse by the time you’re 21, you will suffer as a Democrat for awhile or forever.
Bill Lear, founder of Lear Jet, named one of his daughters Shanda. Stories that he named another daughter Gonda are apocryphal.
I suggested that for our youngest daughter. My husband mixed it as no one would ever be able to pronounce it. Rejected Aine ( Awn-ya) for the same reason. I’m sure our little Ruari will have no problems;-).
Bergstein is upset with whites naming based on Euro heritage.
Its somehow threatening.
She would never detail the ridiculous urban names we are all expected to unblinkingly put up with.
