Thread Name: Are silly names an impediment?
Subject: RE: Are silly names an impediment?
A young woman I know has named her daughter Taome [pronounced to rhyme with Naomi], an acronym for The Apple Of My Eye. Just thought it appropriate to mention here, tho I am far from thinking it a silly name: in fact I think it quite charming.

When I was born, 1932, my Uncle David told my parents they couldn't call me Michael Myer*, as 'everyone will call him Mickey Mouse'. But nobody did.

~Michael~

*The Grosvenor came later.
