I'm new to the Forum and late to this thread. I only read the first and last pages so I'll apologize now if I say anything redundant here.
British names are not necessarily bad but they sure are entertaining. Names like Ogden Nigel Shrubbuster the Twenty-third. Or Sarah Jane Windemere of Hamden-on-Rye-By-The-Sea.
I had a dear friend, first name Rial, who used to get all riled up over just about everything.
That's a true story.
I did know a friend's pet bird named Twyla. She kicked the bucket, from sheer embarassment.
This is also a true story.
I do wish people would stop naming their boys Frank and Jesse James. This is alarmingly common. Don't they realize that the James Boys were thugs? Or perchance that's the idea.
