I have an unusual first name. While I was pregnant, I seriously considered my child's name, and didn't want her FIRST name to be too 'ethnic' sounding. I saved the creativity for her middle name, which is Imani. I wish more people, in general, would take some thought into their childrens' names, other than, it just sounds pretty. I still scratch my head at Algae Crumpler. I work in social services and lordy, some of the names we give our kids!!! The poor chirren need to know the entire alphabet to spell their first name AFTER they learn that its NOT RayRay, ManMan, or Pookie (all names I have heard at work).
