[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Werve Prospect doesn't really make it either. (My first pet was an abandoned kitten who ended up sleeping in the UPI copy at my college radio station, WRVU.)

I wanted to give her an uncommon name because there were four Susans in my high school class of ~120
Oh, totally understood. I'm very grateful that my ex and I changed our daughter's name one month before she was born. It's all hindsight now, but if we'd gone ahead with the original name, she would have ended up with the same thing--5 little girls all with the same name in her class. I have to admit, I didn't much care for my own name in grade or high school, but I never had to worry about being mistaken for someone else based on my name.
As for my son, we purposely chose a name that could go either way because that was back in the day when ultrasounds were much less detailed than today and we weren't sure what the sex was. We had such arguments over a boy's name with the first one, it's a damn good thing we had a girl, where we were in complete agreement on names. So, the first was Alexia (originally Rachel) and the second was Jesse (where we could have spelled it "ie" if it was a girl.)

Sounds more like a soap name, actually.
Random and all-powerful ~ma to anyone who needs it -- I've been gone for three days at a funeral, and have skipped like a madly skipping thing.

While we were in Dallas, we picked up a friend of the family who lives on a street named Spanky Branch, and I immediately thought of porn star names.
eta: AmyLiz, how are you doing? And your friend and her son?

Hey. New board.
I like the name Apple, too. Also not for my kid ("Apple Griswold?" Please.) But I like Apple Paltrow just fine. Does the kid actually have her last name?

Well, since my folks moved every few years I have a hard time deciding just which street to use for my pet/porn name. Maybe I should hyphenate.

Gris, I think she's Apple Martin.
Which makes me want a silly, but at one point trendy, alcoholic beverage.
