I once had a professor that made an interesting point about naming kids (we were all just chit-chatting before class began). He said that when he and his wife were naming their kids, they thought about whether the name would suit someone from childhood through adulthood...asking themselves if they could imagine the name for a little girl in pigtails ("Little So-And-So") and imagine the same name for a dignified grey-haired woman ("Great Aunt So-And-So"). There are so many names I've ruled out for my future kids because of this. None of the names were as weird as 4Real, Superman, Tequila, or Lexus. However, they were names that would have been cute for a little kid but didn't sound that dignified and sophisticated for an adult.
