Re: Waverly.
in reply to a message by Charlie Blue
It's generally used as a female name, actually. (Of course, it's quite uncommon, but all popular culture Waverlys I can think of are chicks.)
Waverly is Buttercup and Westley's daughter, and it's a character in The Joy Luck Club (if I recall correctly--I know Amy Tan has used it before, and for female characters).
I dislike it on either sex, though. I think it's unattractive in the extreme.

I need the smell of summer--
I need its noises in my ears.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

I'm not familiar with "The Joy Luck Club", so of course I've never known that. I did a Wikipedia search, to see what's all about and I sort of know why I haven't heard about this novel. It's because it's about a Chinese-American immigrant family, so it doesn't have any greater merit, by context, for being really known here in Denmark.
I could have heard about it, but then only by the Danish title, which could have been twisted in translation. They often do that so you get easily confused and all.
Thanks for correcting me. I'll add it to my female list instead, after I've thought it over, while reading your response.
