It doesn't really say. I linked to you in my post about St. Jude, so if you answer me, can I blog what you say about him as well? Thanks.

Another Harry had the surname Goon. At least with those boys, I think their parents weren't fluent in English...I'll also say that when I contact a parent whose name is Sunshyne or Rainbow...well, it may be a stereotype...but I can imagine the sort of parenting skills they might (not) have...drenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-5490405273680628632013-06-08T09:54:50.716-07:002013-06-08T09:54:50.716-07:00In my local paper there was a birth announcement f...In my local paper there was a birth announcement for a girl whose first and middle names are "Penny Lane."<br /><br />denisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-59059616775924361122013-06-08T06:48:58.038-07:002013-06-08T06:48:58.038-07:00My husband is a teacher so he gets a sampling.

He's taught THREE different Candy Kanes (with various spellings) over the years. <br /><br />We've also known a Princess and a Milady and a variety of kids who were named nicknames. Kimmy is a fine thing to call your child, but as their legal name when they are 50...not so much.

No we gave them good, traditional classless names. Saints' names. Hopefully they will appreciate it one day.Marion Teaguehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173040175521050516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-87222236299884268212013-06-06T19:13:33.940-07:002013-06-06T19:13:33.940-07:00My neighbor has a daughter named 'Sena'whi...My neighbor has a daughter named 'Sena'which is short for senator, (her full name). They named her this so when she goes to a restaurant they'll say "table for Senator" and people will treat her better. Or something. Monicanoreply@blogger.com
