...Do people actually use these as names? Painting? Obeying? Yearning made me laugh, as did Zooming. =)

This list was the result of a discussion
much farther down the board about verb names. No, I don't know anyone named Painting, and Obeying, as I clearly indicated, does not sound like a good idea to me. I don't know that Yearning was intended to make you laugh, though I certainly understand Zooming sounding funny. On the other hand, I take Hawking quite seriously (it is a surname). I find a few of the others very plausible and might use one myself - if I were having more kids.
This was the original discussion.

yeah, I figured that out.
And I know some of them, like Hawking, are serious names, it was just the weird ones that my eyes pop out. Also, I only really skimmed the post..sorry.
