    Anything that starts with "La" or is French sounding.

    I swear this is true - my father in laws friend's name is Dick Hunt. I always laugh when he says it.

    Pretty much anything with punctuation in it or with capital letters anywhere except in initial position.

    Do not give a child a name they will wind up having to spell for others for the rest of their life! It gets old really fast. John or William, not Jawne or Wilyem. Nobody gives out awards for creativity in naming your kids.

    Once knew a guy whose last name was Wooley. You guessed it, he named his son Wilden.

    If you say them enough times, most names sound stupid.

    DiVersity or MoVersity is likely a bad idea as well.

    Maybe, in a fit of passion, he was conceived in a TERCEL. Maybe we should have named our son CHARGER! [:D]

    Honest to God, a woman from my home town named Mary Ennis Screws, married to a Delta pilot named Flowers.
    She now goes by Mary Ennis Screws Flowers. And Johnny Cash complained about a boy named Sue.
    I got screwed with a middle name "Columbus" (first name Christopher.
    My son just had a boy. With a straight face he says "Pops, you don't actually think we're gonna name him after you?" Nope.[:(]

    True story... My bosses mother-in-law was a nurse at an OB/GYN office in Rockford, IL. A new patient came in and she filled out the form for history of new patients. Under the section for previous children she listed two............
    Lemonjello and Orangejello

    We could never figure out what she should name the third one, Limejello or Grapejello or.........

    i just had to pick on ya doug. i think i was the only one here who hadn't at one time or other.

    my real name is Christopher, middle is Allen
    i go by Chris of course. in every class i have ever attended, there were always 5 or more of us.
    the etemology(sp?) of my my nickname is from the novel, turned play, turned movie, by Alexandre Dumas... The Three Musketeers. Athos, Porthos, and Aramis. In the play, i was Aramis. in the movie, it was Charlie Sheen. yes i am trained to use a sword. at one time i was in 20+ plays, directed 2, produced 1, and did alot of tech work, make up and design. miss that stuff alot.

    sorry if i hurt your feelings doug. i have a couple buddies with that name and they are all good guys. you've proven to be the same.


    and as for bad names, there was a clinic back near my hometown. a woman brought her 2 little girls in to see the doctor. she wrote down their names as Gonorea (pro: gen ora) and Syphilis (pro seh philis) she told the nurse, my friend kathy, that she found the names in a dictionary and thought they were pretty.

    Whisper Dawn. I know a girl who named her daughter that. I told the little girl's mother that at least she wouldn't have to come up with a stage name when she started stripping.

    Mrs. Plaid thinks "Matea" is a good girls name.

    I think it sounds "too ethnic". That's code for "it sounds black". She says it is Hebrew. Haven't found a good Norwegian girl's name.

    James. Not because there is anything wrong with the name, it's just that three quarters of the population is already named James.

    I always kinda liked "Claude Balls" and my cousin "Ferd" always reminded me of the West Virgina side of the family that we seldom talk about.[:0][:0]

    Captplaid -

    Here are some names for Norse goddesses, which might work for your Norwegian Girl. I kinda like Astrild, Freyja (Frey Ah), Saga, Verdandi and Vor.

    I think you are right about "Matea". I usually like Hebrew names, but this one isn't particularly appealing to me.

    Doug
