I was in the grocery store last week and got a good laugh. You know how folks have been naming there kids after products and fortune 500 companies? There was a woman running around the store calling to her child...Chase!

You think they may have gotten their ideas from here?

Hah! Good site, Dagney!
"How about Lou? When I was in England, I heard that name and it seemed to have a little tinkle to it. Randy is good too." That's another difficult aspect -- what if your name means something to other cultures? I was always curious what would happen if your last name was "Bates" and you were rich enough to have a butler. That might be a bit uncomfortable. |

When my friend was in Physician Assistant school, one of the books that he had to read was a well-known medical tome on anatomy by Bates.
The professor, completely deadpan, advised the class that they would "have to master Bates daily."

I don't feel comfortable posting details, but let's just say I really wish we had a card swipe system at work that would identify what card was used every time a door is open, rather than metal keys.

My wife dislikes her first name enough that she used her middle name. After 20 years I have to remind myself that the name I call her is her middle name, usually when filling out paperwork. Since we use her first initial and full middle name or first initial and middle initial, or sometimes first name, etc. her credit report lists all of the combinations as AKA (also known as). I think there were six or eight variations listed there. ..and no, I will not tell you what her first name is. While I have never held much back from the Cellar, spending the next 20 years on the couch is a high price to pay for full disclosure.

I still only half believe it. Unfortunately, the social security adminstration only lists the 1000 most popular first names, so I cannot verify this.
