"...yes, Nan, even 'Daividh'"
@@@@ I know! Don't you remember I hunted you down on that site already? :) Those wacky Kabalarians seem to be a bit slower than I remembered them being before, at analysing submitted names. They still haven't gotten around to the last two I submitted to them: "CheBanana" and "Satan-Herself".
"...Totally bogus!"
@@@@ Bogus, but amusing, nevertheless!
"...Studies HAVE been done that show that kids with dorkus names are discriminated against by teachers (grade-wise) as well as by kids."
@@@@ And that women named "Bambi" don't usually rise to the top of the corporate ladder, for the same, discriminatory reasons. On the other hand, a truly unusual name can be a childhood obstacle that helps to strengthen character. A sense of individuality is a very precious thing for a parent to bestow on a child, in addition to a name. :)
