Re: [Mid] Funny Names.....

Greetings!

My favourite was a story someone on the Rialto told recently. He
named his daughter Natasha, only to be asked repeatedly, with a puzzled
look, "Is that African?" (He was of Irish extraction).

I'm sorry, I've just watched Rocky and Bullwinkle too many times to
ever mistake "Natasha."

Actually, "creative naming" is not something confined to those of African
ancestry. How many times have you seen things like Ashlee (or Ashleigh),
Tyfanni, Jaysen, etc., etc? Sure, they're real names...sorta.
