ArchivesRe: Lets start with "A"
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Being hampered by my non-native-english-speaking-status I cant vouch that all of my 'grams are bona fide names. Eg: can "Lardon" and "Lassie" be included? In addition to compiling the master file, G.N., your editing skills should help avert any such embarassments!

"Lardon" is a new one on me. Can't say I like it as a name, though, as it sounds too close to "lard-butt". As for "Lassie", who says we can't include pet names too, in this list? Lots of people give their children pet names, anyway -- like "Buffy" and "Bambi".
I guess we'll have to choose maybe one or two name dictionaries as our "authority" for the names on the list. We could take a vote on which dictionaries to use -- bearing in mind that the dictionaries should be comprehensive and include so-called "foreign" names as well as variant spellings.
What do you think? (Everyone who participates in the project is invited to post an opinion here, not just me and P.L.)
