George,

You'll certainly appreciate this. My wife has encountered a number of rather odd names in her career. There was one family that was quite taken by the sound of the word Meconium. There is now a little Meconium running around. One family also rather liked a name that is pronounced fee-mah-lee. The child, of course, was a girl.

I can just vizualize the scene in the delivery room...

"It's a girl."
"Oh goodness, look honey.
(ob nurse)
"Holy cow look at that meconium!"

Freakonomics had a chapter on names. "Lemonjello" was one of the names talked about.

"Lemonjello" was accented on the second syllable. As in LeMONjello.

At least in this country, you can legally change your name once you become an adult. I went to school with a kid named Donald Duck.
Frank, I'm a lot older then you....... I went to school with the real Donald Duck!

IT, thanks,that really brings back stuff. I was the little kid that that was aimed at. Saturday afternoon double features alway included a Serial (Lone Ranger, Capt. Marvel,Etc) and six or seven shorts and comedy's. Most of them were aimed at the war effort.
