This is really good advice. I am a white lady from the U.S.

My parents gave me a weird name. My first name is after a Hindu deity. I am not a Hindu. Sometimes people assume I am a Hare krishna.

My middle name is after the lyrics of a psychedlic rock song. So, when a teacher, even in college, said, "I can't pronounce your first name, what's your middle name?" things would get really akward.

I have had trouble cashing checks. I reported a violent crime in progress and the police wasted time hassling me because they didn't believe my I.D. was real. Hindus have gootten angry with me because my name is a boys' name. No one believes it's my real name.

So...please be careful. Your kids will need to get jobs and rent apartments some day.

There. I feel better.

I will, there still gonna be wierd names though.
I have a friend named T, thats right the letter T and he gets by fine. Only trouble he ever really has with it is with electronic things where he has to enter his name that only accept 3 letters or more.

Besides I'm of the mind that if my child really feels that strongly about it when they get older, heck I'll drive them down to the courthouse to legally change it.

Cornelius or Whistler

**But I have enough sense that I would never "curse" a kid with either of those names. They'll only be used on the dogs, cats, fish, etc of my future
