Thread Name: BS: Unusual Baby Names
Subject: RE: BS: Unusual Baby Names
A friend of mine once had a patient who had been christened Obvious. His mother had several kids already and someone said "oh are you pregnant again" and she said "well it's obvious, isn't it." And it stuck.

My son is called Arthur. Good, solid, dependable name, go back a generation or so to find some perfectly good names that are just slightly out of fashion. Frank, or Lily, or Agnes, or Frederick. That way they can make them their own and hopefully people will still be able to spell them.
