HelpRe: Naming After Grandparents
in reply to a message by Canielle
If my children were named after their grandparents...
Mary and Joanna - feels boring and stodgy. No, thank you.
William and Richard - Also a bit boring, but much better. My only problem would be figuring out a nn for Richard, because there are already 5 Richards on both sides of the family.
*****
And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
Robert Southey, "The March to Moscow"
