Cruel Parents - Bad Names

[Sundae]

Dante isn't cruel nameage.
I've known two Dantes. It's a perfectly acceptable Italian name.

The apostrophe is abhorrent of course.

I don't think so, I think they're just a little weird with their naming. Their first son, who I failed so mention, is named Niño -- as in "boy." He goes by Nino, now.

I thought the name itself was all right, though I don't think it quite "fits" the baby. The apostrophe is just... awful. Most of the family leaves it off in writing, and I imagine little Dante' will as well, when he gets older.
