Barb, the children were sleeping by the time I got home, so that was good.
Yeah, definitely good-- and I'm loving Evie's logic. Gotta love a kid's view of their world.

Seargeoh looks like it must be Celtic. But maybe made up Celtic?
I had to puzzle that one out for a moment but:
Sergio.

My boss came home last night to find a bunch of police and fire trucks around his neighbor's home.
The neighbor's nanny had driven their minivan into the kitchen. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but the nanny only has a learner's permit, and she had the two kids in the van with her!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I hope so. Otherwise it might be a "creatively" spelled "Sergio".

Those are some unlucky celebuspawn.
And to think, I used to complain-- bitterly-- about Caridad being my middle name. At least it's a real, honest-to-goodness saint's name. Unpronounceable if you're not of Spanish background or don't know the language, but at least it gave me a pen name when Pocket decided they wanted me to sound "More Latina."
Of course, it also got another author who uses the name all up in arms because she'd been "branding the name."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If I have a son of my own, I probably shouldn't name him Fred, because then his name would be Freddy Krueger.
Occasionally when I buy something with a credit card, I get asked if I'm related to Freddy Krueger. I usually say, "Yeah, but we don't talk about that side of the family. Because they pronounce Krueger wrong."

Granted, Stallone may be a bit nutty on the issue of names considering he grew up with 'Sylvester'. But you have to really stretch to find names odder than Sylvester.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HMOG!

WTF.
ION, OMG.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
All the oddly named people I knew gave their children firmly traditional names. Like all their childhood miseries stemmed from their name and they wouldn't ever inflict them on their own progeny.
At that rate, with our own standard issue names of Dave & Lisa (okay, there you go, people, I've known you for a decade I suppose you can know my & my SO's real first names. Go wild!) we're probably likely to name our own putative kids something bizarre.
