Um, baby names?

[javasaurus]

Gwyneth Paltrow just named her newborn son "Moses." While that isn't extrememly strange, it's certainly uncommon. Of course, she named her daughter "Apple."

Of course, neither compares to the Zappa offspring, named Dweezil and Moon Unit (who now has her own daughter, Mathilda Plum).

Anybody have thoughts on obscure or strange names? Yes, they provide a sense of individuality, but I fear it would be awfully upsetting to go to Disney World, and not be able to buy a coffee cup with my name on it.

Heck *I* can't get things with my name on it. Could only *very* rarely even manage the nickname that I grew up with... Now's a bit better in the nickname department :-)

And I don't even have that unusual a name.

(hmm... and of my kids, one can, of both names, the other can't... even though we've met at least 10 others with her name so far.)
