Childrens names

[string]

Make sure to check what the initals spell, and if it rhymes with anything unfortunate. Or if it spells out any cuss words halfway through (I learned to spell my sister's name by remembering that there was h e double hockey sticks in it)

[O'Neille]

I've always been partial to the name Kresent.

Ed.

He'd be ahead of the pack learning to write his name...

I often wonder, do parents really not realize what they are getting their kids into when they give them bizarre names. It seems to be getting much more common around here. One of the oddest I have heard lately is first and middle names of Truly Blessed.

Well, at least it wasn't Truly Scrumptious.

[Panache]

R.

But then at least she would have her own theme song and access to flying motorcar (not to mention a lifetime supply of sweets.)

R.

Sounds like a Bond Girl's name.

Make sure to check what the initals spell, . . .

My wife and I named our son "Timothy Ian" partly to make his initials spell his nickname. His college formed their network users' names by appending a three-digit serial number to the student's initials. Tim's friends thought it was "really cool" that his user name was "TIM001".

In my father-in-law's family the tradition of naming the first boy for his grandfathers was very strong, so he was rather annoyed that we didn't name Tim for him, and was only slightly mollified by our not naming Tim for my father either. My father-in-law's given names were "Grayson Hyman".

Anyone who remembers the TV sitcom "All in the Family" may remember that Archie wanted his grandson named "Archibald Stanislaus Stivik" but Gloria caught on to what the initials spelled.
