I urge readers to peruse the last post, entitled "Onomastics: The Origin of Names", and I remind you--I am NOT interested in negative opinions on ANY of these names. Some of them are my favorites, and as I find beauty in all names, open mocking will just aggravate and annoy me. Pseudo "helpful" comments, like what connotation you have with the name, are just as darned unacceptable. Those are criticisms in disguise, and I am fairly aware of popular culture, thank you.
Positive comments are always welcome =)
