I've never understood 'Nevaeh" (heaven backwards). In Black Masses, the cross is hung upside down, prayers are said backwards, the host is black instead of white etc...so isn't turning 'heaven' backwards making it Satanic?

My little sister was once friends with a girl named Cinderella. It's not that horrible, I know, but it makes me think they had her so she could be a maid.The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

Quoth mathnerd View PostAlso pay attention to initials. I'd really liked the name Patricia Marie if I'd had a girl (which I didn't so it was never an issue.) The reason this could have been an issue is that my last name begins with the letter S.
Quoth Antisocial_Worker View PostSpelling traditional names incorrectly was also quite popular.
Quoth Kit-Ginevra View PostBilly for a girl sounds dead Southern.
Quoth dawnfire View Postmy son has a girl in his year level called Sydney. It came to my notice when they tried to put her into an all boys class. (needless to say that go remedied before classes started).Quoth Kit-Ginevra View PostBet she won't complain if she accidentally gets put into an all boys dorm at summer camp... :P
Quoth telecom_goddess View PostI did want to name my kids unique and strong names so I went with Chelsea, Leah and Molly.
Quoth mathnerd View PostEven if it's a common name, that can happen. My middle son has a name that, while not as common as John or Andrew, is still common enough. The trouble is that it has two common spellings.
Quoth MoonCat View PostThere are two ways to spell my youngest sister's name. Back when she worked retail, a customer once looked at her nametag and told that her name was spelled wrong.
Oh, and I grew up being called "Alien." Thanks, mom. (I like my name now but as a kid I hated it.)I don't go in for ancient wisdom

My landlord's son and daughter-in-law live down the street from us. Their names are Kelly and Lee. Hubs had to explain to me that Kelly was the guy and Lee was the girl (though I'm assuming it's actually spelled Leigh).The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains gives hope to many people.

I knew a male Tracy growing up. Nice guy, but it was a rural town and there were also two girls named Trac(e)y (different spellings) in our age group.

I used to work with a woman who named her daughters Sydney, Raleigh and Brooklyn because she had a 'city theme' going.
No one had the heart to tell her that Brooklyn is not a city, but a borough.
