I sat through a baptism a couple of weeks ago for a baby named Romulus. We
were all aghast. It was a family name, and all I could think was "they
actually know someone who has gone through life as Romulus and they did this
anyway!" Isn't adolescence hard enough as it is? (It's certainly hard
enough to spell - I'm not convinced that's right yet!)

Subject: Re: [vocalist] Operatic Baby Names
As I was reading some of the suggestions, I was
wondering if the teasing factor the child will suffer
at school should be taken into account, if, for
example, they're named Cinderella or Xenia (too close
to Xena). There is a website (www.babynamer.com) that
lists baby names, and in addition to listing meaning
and origin, it also lists drawback for each name, so
the prospective parent can be fully aware of what
their child might go through.

got these from the website, not from personal
