Don't Give Children Funny Names
Mother Henrietta Hickey
getting along with others. If you give them celebrity's names they'll
grow up to be immoral.
A parent's best source for names is the Holy Bible. There are no
more beautiful names than Adam, Eve, Seth, Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Isaac,
Rebekah, and so on. These names are practically universal and can be
modified to suit almost any ethnic group's tastes. "Eva" can be
substituted for "Eve" almost anywhere, as can "Hawwa," "Chavah," and "Ewa."
Be careful to avoid unconventional spellings. "Rut" is OK since it is
the proper Spanish equivalent of "Ruth," but what English-speaking girl
wants to go around being called Rut? Not many. Ditto "Ester." Spelled
that way, the name suggests some sort of chemical, not the Jewish Queen
of Persia.
Did you know that the name Keshia is Biblical? In the King James
Bible the name is spelled "Kezia." It's the name of a beautiful tree
that grows in the Holy Land. I spelled one of my daughter's names Keesha
so it would be pronounced with the right number of syllables. The name
Kasha is a variant. Another of Job's daughters was named Jemima, but
that name is too "Uncle Tom" for the present generation.
Good Americans should name boys after U.S. presidents like Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, and Zachary Taylor, and girls after notable
women in American history like Phyllis Wheatley, Harriet Tubman, and
Coretta Scott King.
The names of good kings and queens make fine choices too: Duncan,
Richard, Frank. The names of some caesars are OK too: Julius, Augustus,
Claudius. Nero is out for obvious reasons. Charles is a bad choice because
that MIGHT just be the name of the next evil king of England. Everyone
knows he's an adulterer who had his ex-wive murdered in France last year.
Ferdinand (Fernando) and Isabella are taboo because of what those evil
monarchs did to the Jews of Spain in the fifteenth century. The names of
the great pharaohs are ideal: Ramses, Shabaka, Ptolemy. Don't forget
Cleopatra.
Avoid using the names of wicked celebrities like Madonna (a
BLASPHEMOUS name), Morgan (for girls: this name is OK if a bit
old-fashioned for boys), and Leonardo. Avoid names that are too common
and trendy: Jason, Jennifer, Jose. NEVER give a chil Jesus' name.
That's also blasphemous. Jesse and Jehu are good substitutes.
Above all avoid weird spellings. You should be able to tell
someone your name without having to spell it. I saw a woman at the Water
Company yesterday whose name was "Karryl." Now THAT is an abomination.
What's wrong with plain "Carol." That reminds me of Diahann Carroll.
Her first name has GOT to be simplified. She's a great actress, but I
cringe every time I see her name in print. A lot of people confuse her
with Dyan Cannon, another actress who obviously never learned the right
way to spell her own name. Poor thing!

Not necessarily. I have a Victoria, a Christopher and

Not a bad suggestion for a starting place, but frankly
I will not name a son Elijah, Hosea or Habakkuk.
Or a girl "make-up case" as Job did. I would hesitate
before calling a child Nympha, Linus or anything else.

Fine if you're Jewish or black or have a nondescript last name.
Ours is strongly Saxon, so we tend to favor British sounding names.

My son's name is Charles. I happen to think its a very nice name
for him. It has absolutely notheing to do with Prince Charles.
My paternal grandfather who was a good decent hardworking man was
also named Charles.
Shightly off-topic: do you have any sort of proof Prince Charles had
anything to do with the death of Diana? Or are you just blowing smoke
out your ass as usual?
AS faar as your statement about getting alongt with others due to
names: could this be the reason you are having so much trouble getting
along here? think about it.

When I see the name Henrietta - all I can think of is the town in Texas near
where I grew up.
At least it makes a little bit of sense - Henrietta was named after a
Henrietta. What I think is a bit weird is all the kids named "Austin" and
"Dallas". And girls named "Cheyenne". I think I'll name my next one "New
York City".

head Satanist Anton LaVey name one of his daughters Karla? I rest my case.
I admit that Henrietta is a bit old-fashioned. I was named after
my great-grandmother, who was a slave who bought her own freedom at age
22 before the Civil War. The name means a great deal to me, and means
"King of the Home." My King, at home and elsewhere, is Jesus.
"Karla" means "manly," by the way.

Now, who am I? I am Reverend Mother Henrietta T. Hickey, Doctor

Beautiful South Dallas, Texas. I am an Orthodox Black Messianic Jew who

thesick and raise the dead that doubters and scoffers believe and come to
a saving knowledge of Jesus the Christ.
I have been called "Teetotaling Teresa" because I have closed
many bars and liquor stores in Dallas. I run a hardware store that
facilitates the refurbishment of a once downtrodden community. I run a

things. You live so close to America where life is good -- and warm -- but
are still tied to that evil queen in England. I hope Quebec finally secedes
from you and goes back into the Dark Ages with Iran and Iraq.
Anyway, Deirdre is forbidden because it is 1) difficult to spell,
2) difficult to prounounce, and 3) of uncertain meaning. It could be a
curse for all we know. Why have a name that's such a mystery? I
recommend that you change your name to the good Biblical name Deborah
before the year is out. God will bless you if you do.

AGAIN defeats his own purpose. A few of the names on your list were
already on mine, Don. These include Gideon, Jehu, and Zebedee. To that
list you can also add Titus, which is a fine name. I also like Absalom
(watch that spelling), Amaziah, Asaph, Balaam, (semantically the same as
Joseph), Gamaliel, Heman, Jonadab, Lazarus, Mordecai (although it is
derived from the Babylonian god Marduk's name), Naboth, Nicodemus, and
Zerubbabel. Thank you, Don, you've proven useful (what Onesimus means)
to me after all. I'll add these to my list, which was not meant to be
exhaustive.
Ahab was the name of a wicked king, not a role model for today's
youth by a long shot. Athaliah was the name of a wicked queen, Jezebel's
daughter. Sennacherib was the name of a foreign king and enemy of Israel.
Ahasuerus was a Persian king. The Greek form Xerxes is easier to
pronounce and spell. I like the original Persian form myself: Khshayarsha.
Ish-bosheth and Mephibosheth were never given names. The
original forms included the ugly names of foreign gods, which the
Bible's editors changed to the Hebrew word "bosheth," which means "shame."
I do wish you'd send me your closely guarded e-mail address,
Don. There's something I'd love to tell you away from all the prying
eyes on this Newsgroup. I'll leave that decision up to you.
We both left out Hezekiah and Josiah, two of the best Biblical
names there are.

Yeah, don't name your kid after celebrities like Jim Baker or Jim

While I agree that giving a child certain names can put them at a
distinct disadvantage, this notion of "celebrity name == immoral"
is so ridiculous I can not figure out where it came from. Do you
perhaps mean some kind of unique celebrity name like "Madonna"?
That I would avoid, yes, but other celebrity names like William,

It means "sorrowful". It comes from the legend of an Irish
princess who was kidnapped and forced into marriage.
Like all Irish legends, it has a sad ending.

It's not a curse, and it's not a mystery. You just
need to get out of an Afrocentric shell.
And why is Brittany on the forbidden list,
when such place names as Ethiopia made it?
Brittany is the northern region of France.
And Gwen? Gwendolyn means white shoulders.
Why is that bad?

Deirdre, but I am an exception to the rule. Few people speak Gaelic any more,
even in Ireland. There have always been several variant spellings, and
most Americans have trouble pronouncing the name.
I would also say the jury is still out on whether Deirdre really
means "sorrowful." It is true that the Deirdre who eloped with the
ill-fated Naoise, who was then murdered by her rightful fiance King
Conchobhar, is called "Deirdre of the Sorrows," but that would suggest her
name really denotes something else. Perhaps if she hadn't wanted
to fool around so much her end wouldn't have been so tragic.
"Dolores" means "sorrows" or "pains" and so is on the forbidden list
because it implies that Saint Mary, the so-called Mother of Sorrows, is
still suffering. Since she's in Heaven now she is definitely not
suffering or sorrowful. Gaelic words for "sorrowful" include "bronach,"
"buartha," "diomach," "doiliosach," ""dubhach," and "gruama." I
understand that Gaelic words evolved quite a bit over the centuries, but
the precise meaning of the name Deirdre is still a mystery to most. I will
do further research into this matter.
Brittany is forbidden because of those unruly dogs called
Brittany spaniels. I'm not saying you shouldn't visit Brittany or enjoy
your visit there, just that you shouldn't name your daughter after it.
Ethiopia is different. It has a beautiful sound.
I know what "Gwendolyn" means. Tradition supports the meaning "white
bow" over "white shoulders." Anyway, Gwens usually have freckles. To me
the name has an obscene sound, like melted cheese squeezed between two
pieces of toast. The Vietnamese name Nguyen, which means "moon," is OK.
I have put many Anglo-Saxon and Nordic names on my list, which is
not exhaustive. Remember that the Vikings and the Celts were not always
the best of friends in history, and that the Celts were driven onto boggy
land and oppressed for centuries.
I don't think I have any bias at all.
God certainly DOES care what our names are. He changed Abram's
name to Abraham and Sarai's name to Sarah once He had established a
covenant with them. He changed Jedidiah's name to Solomon. Most kings
thereafter took a throne name that honored God.
Ugly names can be redeemed by righteous people. Jezebel and
Delilah are both possibilities for such redemption. Delilah means
"darkness" and is not a bad name for a Black woman. Jezebel gives honor
to the Phoenician god Baal. It also sounds too much like Isabel, which
is the wickedest woman's name on earth, I think. Didn't I say, however,
that God loves EVEN people with funny names? That doesn't mean He
doesn't expect them to change their names once they are born again.
Even with all its dark connotations, Delilah would be a better
name than Morgana. The Spanish are fond of their version "Dalila" and I
see nothing wrong with it.

Heather is forbidden because of its association with the
uncultivated heaths of England and with the HEATHEN who lived on them.
It suggests a wild and untamed character. It's certainly no name for a
righteous woman. Your daughter should change her name to Erica at once.
Erica is the Latin name for the flowering heather shrub, or one of them
at any rate. It has no connection with "heathen" but does echo the name
Eric, which means "eternal king." The German equivalent Heidi is
likewise forbidden. "Heiden" is what the Germans call a gentile.
The Hebrew word for "heather" is Abrash. This name is also
acceptable.
Merry is a fine name but should not be confused with Mary. As
long as you live in an area where Mary and Merry are pronounced
distinctly, you're fine. Where I live in Texas, "Mary," "Merry," and
even "marry" are all pronounced alike. "Merr" by itself can mean
"beloved" in Egyptian, although at this late date we cannot be sure how
the name was pronounced.
There was once an actress named Merry Anders. She played in lots
of strange things but was good nonetheless.

Mother Henrietta Hickey
to respond to me? And to whom did you make your promise? I'm not such a
bad person after all, am I? I'm a veritable FOUNT of Wisdom!
ALYSSA is OK, but not highly recommended. It's the plural of "alyssum,"
which is the name of a flower, two flowers if you include the sweet alyssum
as well. The name means literally "uninsane" because the flower was
thought to cure madness. An Alyssa will be a diplomat and peacemaker,
but who wants to put a woman in that position in the first place? I
recommend the Hebrew Shulamith in its place. Or the Greek Irene.
BRIANNE is not as good, but not forbidden either. A feminine equivalent
of BRIAN, it means "noble." The problem is that Briannes can become a
little snooty as they reach maturity. Brianna (or Briana) is a little better.
There's no silent e to hang pretensions on.
ELENA is the best of the names you listed. It is a Spanish equivalent of
the Greek name Helene, which is the same as Selena. All mean "moon."
Helene is what some could call the national name of Greece. The Greeks
call themselves Hellenes by association. Elenas are usually tireless
workers and tend to have large families.
ELYSE is a good name but verges on the pagan. It refers to the Elysian
Fields of Greek mythology and means basically "bliss." I would suggest
Eden in its place. Elyses can be a bit snobbish.
LAURA is definitely OK. It means "recipient of praise." Just be sure
not to spell it any other way. Laurie is OK as a diminutive but Lori is
definitely out. Lauras often wind up as teachers or missionaries. Loris
seldom make it beyond the fast food counter or the manicurist's chair.
NICOLE is the worst on your list because it is so trendy. Nicolette is a
better choice. A French feminine equivalent of Nicholas, it means
"victory for the people." Nicoles will be expected to take sides and
defend underdogs. Nicola is terrible. All her fizz will fade away
before she's thirty.
Thank you for your inquiry. "Anita," of course, is a diminutive of Ann
and means "grace."

Actually, lots of people in Ireland speak Gaelic. In fact there are
still some areas where it is the only language spoken!
As for the spellings - there have been numerous misspelling of names
which have become standard in certain parts of the world. In Ireland
the name Deirdre remains correctly spelled.
I've never run into anyone who has difficulty pronouncing it, but it has
been misspelled a lot since I've been in N. America.

ROTFLMOA Henrietta you gave me one heck of a belly laugh here.
Diety forbid the Ethiopians had bred some high-strung kind of dog. You would
have put that name on the shit list too?
It's sort of a morbid fascination here - you listing names, which are "good",
which are "evil", and everyone watching to see what you'd say next.

No one in his or her right mind would name a child Lucifer or Belial.
Not every name in the Bible is recommended and I never said it was. I
said the Bible was your best source for names that appeal to the largest
number of people. We are all children of Adam, for instance, and
descendants of Noah. The Faithful of many religions owe their faith to
Abraham.
Lilith is not a name I particularly like. A lot of witches have
it. It's not totally forbidden for a woman with dark hair or skin. It
means "night child" and was once used to describe screech owls, a lot
like the Italian word "strega," which now means "witch." I have already
expressed my approval of Bathsheba.
You spelled Betelgeuse correctly, but it is no more Biblical than
Asmodeus (which has no z) or Beliathon. Betelgeuse is the name of a star
in the constellation Orion. Some say it means "house of the twins,"
others that it means "shoulder of the giant." The former is probably
more correct. Are you using the filthy Satanic Bible to find names?
Satanists' children usually rebel against their parents and become
Christians. You'll see.

approval. Don't you feel better now. Jonathan and Nathaniel are similar
in meaning, yes. No name "damns" a child to a substandard life in and of
itself. Some ugly names simply stigmatize children and weigh them down
with needless psychological baggage.

Osten counts as a misspelled name. Austin is OK; Osten is a
barbarism. No one will ever deduce how to spell it without being told.
The "Os-" element in names like Oscar and Oswald is good: it means
"God's..." Oscar is "God's spear," Oswald "God's rule." There aren't
many standard names with this element. Osbert and Osmond come to mind,
and I suppose Oswin ("God's friend") isn't unattested.
Doesn't "osten" mean something like "the cheeses" in Swedish?
Mercedes is not recommended. An epithet of St. Mary, it gives
Jesus' Mother more influence than she really has. It's God's mercies we
pray for, not Mary's. Of course, if you're Catholic or Eastern Orthodox
and practice some form of Mariolatry, the name would be a fine choice.
People with that name tend to be gossips. Mercedes McCambridge became an
alcoholic.
Anastasia means "resurrection." Mir- is a Slavic elements
meaning "peace" (or "world"). I'm not sure the two should be connected.
Try something like Miroslava, "the world's glory" if you must have a
"Mir-" name. There are also Mira, Miraflor, and Miramont, none of them
highly recommended. Anastasias often grow up to be old maids. If they have
children, they often outlive them. Miras tend to age quickly, or to
gain excess weight while they're young.
Nastassia is a diminutive of Anastasia. The former is a bit
pretentious but not forbidden. Natasha is excellent. It's a diminutive
of Natalia, which means "birth" and refers to the Birth of Christ.
Miranda is good. It means "admirable."
Tatiana (one n is preferable) probably means "favoring her
father" and is OK but a bit old-fashioned. If your surname is Russian it
might fit.
Xenia is Greek. It means "foreign woman." I would neither
forbid nor recommend it. It sounds bizarre to my ears. Ksenia is the
spelling used in any language where x is not used, Polish being only one
of them.
Daria is a Greek borrowing from Old Persian. A very old name, it
means something like "enduring." It sounds like the Slavic word for
"gift" and might be given to girls seen by their parents as gifts from God.
There are all sorts of Slavic names, from Aleksei to Zakhar. Baltic
and Hungarian names are also interesting. Genevra Gerhardt gives a
complete breakdown of Russian names in her book "The Russians' World."
A Czech name I find interesting is Rehor. It's the equivalent
of the Greek name Gregory (itself the equivalent of the Hebrew Ira) but
it's r's are aspirated in a very distinctive way. Only Slaves and people
like me whom Almighty God has blessed with the Gift of Tongues can
pronounce it.

Hickey, aren't you aware of the fact that God created this world we live in?
He created "lush green South Dallas" just as he created Canada and the
glaciers. So insinuating that Canada is cold and Canadians have cold hearts
because they have somehow upset God, is ridiculous (in other words so like
your usual tirades).

1. I was much to young to notice if the show was spelled "revue" or

2. I don't care if you think my name is ok or not. It's MY name, and I like
it.
3. My being a Christian or not is not only none of your business, it really
has no bearing on what my name is -- my name came long before I was able to
choose a religion for myself.
4. Your signing your posts "Jesus Loves EVEN You" insinuates that you feel
that I (and others) am not worth of Jesus's love. Surely as a
"whatever-the-heck-you-proclaim-to-be" you know that Jesus's love is there
for all --- so you should consider signing your posts with "Jesus Loves

Morticia was our cat when I was a child. Hailey does not appeal.
Too trendy and gender-neutral.
I still want to know why her approved names include
known homosexuals (Richard Lionheart, Plato, etc)
and women of loose morals (Cleopatra, Catherine).
I went to school with a Buffy, and can't get past Leslie Howard
as Ashley.
My opinion is girls should not have male names.
Taurus and Demetrius are masculine names.
And if you're naming the boy Antoine,
don't spell it Antwain. I read it "Ant-wayne"
and asked "You're a wagon for ants?"

Hi Angel,
Catherine of Siena was an intellectual in the early Christian church and an
ascetic (the antithesis of loose morals). Just thought I'd point that out! ;)
I happen to agree with you that girls should not have masculine names, which
definitely seems to be a trend these days. Blame my mother for this--even
though I love the name Kieran, when I proposed naming my daughter that (and
changing the spelling to Kieranne to feminize it), all I heard from my mother
was, "Kieran is a boy's name." So, I dropped the final "n" and made it Kiera
and everyone was happy, even my DH (who thought that Kieran sounded to close to

Sorry, I was thinking Catherine the Great of Russia.
Peter the Great characterized her as an insatiable
nympho. She responded that he was insane,
pinching her legs until they were black and
blue during the course of a normal conversation.

I know where Kieran comes from, and it is a very good Irish name.
But, as my last name is Saxon, I do not use Irish names. I use
good solid Norman names (Richard, Robert, William)
And if I did, I have negative literary associations with Kieran
and wouldn't use it. Read Julian May, and you'll understand.
I prefer Patrick, Sean, Allan, etc.

I had my heart set on naming one of my sons Garth (pre-Brooks, btw),
which, IIRC, Gareth is a variant. It's Norse in origin, meaning 'from
the garden', though there is a secondary meaning, 'spear bearer' (Again,
IIRC...my sons are old enough that I haven't looked at a name your baby
book in ages <G>).
But put Garth next to Adezio, and you'll understand why we went with
Stephen and Daniel instead. :) (that, and DH *hated* the name...I don't
know why....)

And not everyone in North America are of Christian faith. So why would you
say they have "weird names"? Why should they conform to the "euro-centric"
"judeo-christian" style of names? The names might be different to people
born in North America, but perhaps they feel comfortable with the names they
choose for their children!!
Some
>Hindus are named Anal. Is that a name YOU'd like to have?
if you open your mind up a bit..you wouldn't be comparing a name like "Anal"
into your Judeo-Christian-centered mind, and you would not assume all North
Americans should fit into a Judeo-Christian "mold". For your informaiton,
the name "Anal" would be pronounced in a similar way that "Adele" would
be!*S*

Who are you ? Dr. Spock? DO you have any credentials? the people that have
asked you for name advice are probably mostly religious followers who have
been somehow unfortunately brainwashed into believing that you have some
authority in these areas.
And of course, I am just such a self-centered person!!LOLL NOT!

Actually, a unique name ( which is very popular nowadays) is a good thing!!
It is nice for a child to have a unique name!! They are able to have their

Mother Henrietta Hickey
Have fun scraping the doodoo off your nice new shoes.
My kids watched "The New Zoo Review" in 1974 or thereabouts and
not only noticed the spelling, but asked their Dear Mother what the
difference between a "revue" and a "review" was. I raised SMART
children. The paddle helped me immensely.
It's obvious that you don't care what I think. That's
unfortunate. I'm not preaching here for my own good: I'm preaching for
YOUR own good. Kids with funny names have problems. I'm trying to help
parents avoid problems. If you choose to ignore my advice, that's
entirely up to you. Just don't say I told you so when trouble comes home
to roost.
I didn't ask you to tell me whether you are a Christian. That's
ultimately between you and God. However, the name Krista is short for
Kristin, which means "Christian woman." It is not fitting for a Jew or a
Buddhist or a witch to have that name. It is appropriate only for
Christian women and girls. If you live a sinful lifestyle, moreover,
you're not setting a good example for others who might be considering
accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. If you spend a lot of
yout time in liquor bars or live in sin with a man people will say, "That
Krista! She doesn't live up to her name, does she? I guess she's just
another hypocrite. I'm glad I don't pretend to be a Christian the way
she does." If on the other hand you dress modestly and go to Church every
week and do volunteer work and stay away from drunkards and fornicators, the
name Krista is a perfect name. People will say, "Will you look at that
Krista? Did you ever meet a nicer person? I think I'll join her Church
so I can be as close to the Lord as she is. What a blessing to humanity
she is!" Jesus will be pleased with you and He will shower blessings
upon you for honoring His Holy Name.
You can always change your name if you don't think it fits your
present situation. People in my Holy Church change their names all the
time, at my behest.
With my sign-off "Jesus Loves EVEN You," I am "insinuating"
nothing. I am proclaiming that Jesus loves EVERYONE regardless of status
in life. Even means "up to and including." Only a dirty-minded person
would think anything else about that. Do you feel guilty, Krista? Is
there something going on in your life that you feel ashamed of? If that
why you don't feel "worth of" -- "worthy of" sounds better -- Jesus'
Precious Love? If so, I have but one thing to say to you, and that is
this: "Jesus loves EVEN you, Krista, in spite of everything."
Doesn't that sound reassuring when you hear it in a different tone?
Why don't you take your little problems to the Lord in prayer right now,
whatever they are. He's ALWAYS willing to listen to you, no matter what
you've done.
Again, child, Jesus Loves EVEN You,
And All of You Sinners Out There,
Whoever You May Be!

Huxley is pompous and ostentatious. Abbey is strongly
discouraged -- the Beatles were all devil worshippers, you know -- but
Abby (short for "Abigail" is OK).
Lydia is fine. It's a Biblical name.
I had hippie neighbors once who actually named their daughter
Morticia.
Lots of Southern flotsam and jetsom name their sons Elvis. I'm not
sure a child would be given the name Lesbo, but I have heard of the name
Lesbia. Older women who come to hate men for some reason or other might
choose "Lesbo." It's forbidden.
Hailey sounds like someone waving her hand at taxis for the rest
of her life. True happiness will never come to such a woman.
And no, I'm not a nut. I am a Child of God and I speak His Truth!

black lipstick often name their illegitimate brats "Dracula."
Barnabas is a good Biblical name. Read the Book of Acts the next
time you have a free minute. It's far superior to all that Celtic misty
mishmash you've been reading. By the way, Dracula was a real person.
Esmeralda is too closely associated with witchcraft and
fecklessness, thanks to Alice Ghostley. Emerald is just plain trashy.
So is Jade. Opal is an undiscovered gemstone. Opals will be humble;
Emeralds will be vain and haughty.
Gareth and Gavin are both Welsh, not strictly Anglo.
Aethelred has become Eldred and is not bad, only a bit
old-fashioned. Cnute is better spelled as Knut and OK for Scandinavians.
Kevins have sexual problems.
Madalyn is the name of the head atheist, who tried to steal her
foundation's money and was murdered by them. Either Madeline or Madeleine
is OK.
Patricias and Patricks are hot-tempered. The names are also too
common. Use your imagination.
Abbey Lydia Huxley sounds like a fishwife who bangs dustbin lids
together outside your window. I pity any girl with that name.
Is Plato on the approved list? I've known a few decent Greeks with
it. They seem OK. Richard Lionheart isn't specifically on the list, I'm
sure. There were other Richards, just as there were other
Cleopatras besides the Great Whore of Egypt. Catherine means "pure."
Several saints predated the evil czarina.
Taurus is the name of a pagan god. Demetrius honors a goddess
but is OK. It has been lifted out of the filth of paganism.
Also, there are a lot of variant spellings for "Deirdre" in the
old literature. The most common seems to be "Deardriu." Avoid that name
like the plague.

would saddle their daughter with the deplorable monikker Gundaquill, or who

Still, I was too young in 1974 to notice the difference. It has nothing to
do with how "smart" I am.
The paddle helped me immensely.

I do care what you think. You are suggesting using a paddle on children. A
paddle can cause bruising - which can get you prosecuted for child abuse. I
believe it is wrong to hit other people, period. I am a pacifist - violence
is not ok in my household.
Kids with funny names have problems. I'm trying to help
>parents avoid problems.
Children with funny names do not have problems because of their names. Over
the last 15 years I have been working with children - many of whom had
different names than the traditional standard "Michael" and "Catherine."
The vast majority of these children have grown into successful adults. You,
simply, do not know what you are talking about. What are your credentials?
What makes you such an expert in this field?
If you choose to ignore my advice, that's
>entirely up to you. Just don't say I told you so when trouble comes home
>to roost.
Why do you think there will be trouble in my house? You have no idea what
I've named my children. My children have names that are important to us.
They are named after people we respect and admire --- their names have a
rich history that I will enjoy sharing with them when they are old enough to
understand.
> I didn't ask you to tell me whether you are a Christian. That's
>ultimately between you and God. However, the name Krista is short for

Not quite. The name "Krista" means "follower of the Lord." But,
technically, my name is a misspelling of "Christa" which means "follower of
Christ." It is also the feminine form of "Christ."
It is not fitting for a Jew or a
>Buddhist or a witch to have that name.
It is fitting for anyone to have that name. This may come as a shock to
you, but most people don't go around comparing peoples' personalities to the
meaning of their name. The vast majority of people don't know what their
name means (in my experience).
It is appropriate only for

I respect my parents and their decisions. To change my name would be like a

decided to adopt a new religion -- it seems quite strange to me.

And why would a "dirty-minded" person read something else into it? You
capitalized the word "even" causing it to be stressed. Maybe you have the
dirty mind and are just having a hard time supressing it???
Do you feel guilty, Krista? Is
