Guest Nellie Clatt,

For what its worth, GUEST, 01 Aug 06 - 04:33 AM was not me. However, like that Guest, I found your initial post to be offensive in that it not only put down certain names as 'stupid' but also talked about killing those folks who had those names.

However, I decided to disregard that post and use the opportunity presented by this thread to exchange information about a subject that I find fascinating. You may note that I joined the discussion in this thread in response to this post:

Seriously though, what sort of a name is Nonny ?

And as a result of the information exchanged in this thread, I learned that Bruce & Shiela are the names of "archetypal" Australians, and I learned about the Celtic folklore about the goddess Rhiannon, and I learned a host of other things.

If some people want to use this thread to list unique, and unusual names, that's their choice. I see it as "different strokes for different folks". But if others want to engage in a more serious presentation and exchange of information about names, then that should be acceptable too.

And GUEST,Nellie, you asked me if I had a sense of humour. For what it's worth, yes, Nellie I do have a sense of humour {though I spell it "humor"}. Sometimes I let my humor out, sometimes it surfaces whether I want it to or not, and sometimes I keep it tightly locked up deep down in the dungeon.

Best wishes,

Azizi
