It's all very well being creative when choosing a name for your child but it's the child who has to live with it. Absurd and cruel names like Dweezil, Moon Unit (both Frank Zappa's kids), Buddy Bear, Friendless, Allien and Clifton Antivaccination will most likely lead to teasing and ridicule as he or she is growing up and that's not fair on the kid.
On a brighter note, I used to work with a fella called Hardwork - and the most unusual name in the Phils I've come across is Pedestal. But at least these names are of a positive nature unlike the ones above.
Good thread, Rosie.
