some of them sound very exotic,are you from the u.s.? i think some of those names would be very popular as couples are always looking for a unique name for their child

Somewhere in a Tom Stoppard play (I think) there's an ultra-hip early 20th-century poet who composes his works by taking random pages, cutting them up, putting the bits into a hat, shuffling them, throwing them up in the air and picking them up again in any old sequence. This was known as Dadaism, and these look like what the cleaning lady would have to sweep up after one of his sessions.
