Re: Christmas
There was a judge in the UK, in the 1950s I think, whose name was Christmas Humphreys ... and he was a Buddhist. Perhaps if you go to work in a wig and robes you can carry it off, but Christmas the bus driver or Christmas the dinner lady would be dire indeed. I would think that their parents were more interested in making a personal statement than in the future happiness of their child. And I'd also wonder what they would name a second child - Boxing Day?

Christmas the judge and Cupcake the lawyer just goes to show you that names do not make the person.

Actually, kids born on December 26th get named Stjepan, Stefica, Stjepania, Stefania, etc. here. I know three of them + a Bozica and a Bozidar born on Christmas (Bozich in Croatian)

BoxingThat is going to be the next big boy name, you just wait. It's got the dynamic X, it's uber-masculine and implies violence - truly a winner! ;)Though Boxer might climb the charts first.
