I actually know a man named Ransom. It is a family name for them. There is also a building at the Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks named after a Ransom. I think it's funny that since I know someone with that name that I don't find it odd.

However, Tindall is the name of an Air Force Base.

I have a sappy romance novel where the main male character's called Ransom Richard Laird. Author says Ransom means "son of the shield". Yep. The novel was so cliché and sappy (yes, we know Ransom has golden hair, no need to remind us every page) that I had to put it down half-way through and go look for some angsty fanfic to counteract the saccharine.

Avery is a male name to me, and Tindall resembles Kendall... which sounds like "Ken doll" and is also very male to me (the name also appears on my formula bags, but I'm unsure who Kendall refers to--it isn't the manufacturer, whose name is Tycho).

Okay so I am not really wild about Tindall...the rest weren't too bad imo.

Thats not nice. You don't do that to your child.

"Here! Here, just take the money and leave, please!" Hee hee.

lol they should have turn Avery Tindall into Average Tindall, that would make it nice together.

would u recognise irony if you came accross it?

I think Avery Tindall is worse than Ransom Walker, if it wasnt a word i think Ransom sounds ok but Avery Tindall is horrible!

Haha.. Ransom Walker. The Walker part isn't too awful, but Ransom? I just don't get it. I can't imagine actually saying it out loud to address a person. I guess he'll get an unrelated nickname.. like Cash, or Payola, or Bribe maybe!

Avery Tindall sounds piercingly familiar, like it was a famous name. Of a guy though. A guy who I've forgotten. How can a name be so uncommon and so utterly nondescript at the same time?
