River ,'Objects In Space'
[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.
You're using Hagrid, aren't you?
Bwah! And no. Wrong universe.

I'm sure once Emeline figures out the Jayne Firefly shout-out-ish - she's gonna be mad.
And see, I love that I'm named after the Dune character. I think it's awesome that my parents are just that kind of giant nerds. But OTOH, Jessica's a real name, and a really common one, so it's not like I ever had to explain it to anyone. If I'd grown up as Ghanima, I might feel differently.]
Jessica, go for it!
I'm a total nerd. I just went searching for school spoilers. There's a website that the English department uses for some classes, and the syllabus for one of my classes would be up there if the prof was using the site. He's not. So, I have to wait till Monday to see the syllabus.
Damn no spoilers!
Jessica, you can probably guess my opinion on atypical names.
Which is...why hide it in the middle? Kids will be traumatised anyway, and they'll hate you anyway.

Which is...why hide it in the middle?
Because the first name's already picked out, and has been for years. The middle name was up in the air until we knew the gender.
{{ChiKat}} Tissue~ma.
I'm convinced that, for the most part, most people go through a phase where they hate their name.
What Aimee said. Name the child what pleases you and E. He'll go through the stages of hating and loving no matter what you name him.
Mine were both named after people IRL. They don't hate me for this, yet.
should one avoid giving a kid a really weird middle name even if you really like it? Not "Moon Unit" or "Apple" weird, but, um, fictional. From a genre universe. Slightly more obscure than "Frodo" but only just.
As you note, you're named after a Dune character. I think it's fine to put an atypical name - like say, "Azalea" - in the middle.

Man, I don't even like Hagrid as a character that much anymore. Does anybody? I guess Aimee.
Because the first name's already picked out, and has been for years. The middle name was up in the air until we knew the gender.
Unless it's an ugly name or a cruel one (and you wouldn't be considering it if it were) don't hesitate.
I like the name Ruebeus. It's different.
