[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 177737, member: 3907"] Mary, I have no idea how to even pronounce some of these. When I was in high school I used to work as a file clerk in a Paediatrician's office. I was astonished at some of the names parents would inflict on their children. I did get pretty good at predicting the most popular names based on which soap opera character or pop star was really popular at the time. (1985 saw a lit of LaToya's, for example) The province of Quebec has a government body that will forbid you to name your child certain things. A few years ago there was a big flap when a couple wanted to name their child Spatule (Pronounced spah-TOOL), and yes, it's French for spatula. They were forced to pick another name. [/QUOTE]
