A friend of mine is pregnant (I'm not saying who, because I'm not she wants everyone to know yet) and it stirred up a conversation about names. While surfing, I came across this site about what kind of silly names american parents make up for their kids, check it out, if you like: http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html
My family is profoundly christian; which is why all my nephews and nieces have names from the bible. My one cousin has three kids, who she named Daniel, Ruben and Deborah, which is not so bad. But my other cousin went a bit over the top: his sons are called Boaz and Levi. Who wants to name their kid Levi these days? Hello? Have you heard of the jeans?
Some of my best friends have unusual names; Amras, Kazimir. I find them very fitting and nice, but it's true that a strange name can make a person unhappy (my mom is a nice example: Ike-Hindrikje. She likes people to call her Ineke). It takes some time getting used to it.
Luckily, I am not ready to have kids yet, and I can still think on it for a while.
