i've been a way for a minute, but its cool to see all the comments on this topic, i've had a good long laugh, thank you. but on the real every name was "made up" by someone, i image a european name must have sounded wierd or seemed meaningless to a asian or african person. our grandparents and those before them had to take on these european names, i'm sure if they had the choice "most" of us would be named african names and we would be quite happy indeed. but that's not the case, so as it stands i guess we must learn to tolerate those young parents today who are creating their own "made up" names. i've noticed many asian and other groups naming their children "american names" but they have ethnic middle and last names of course. we're all just trying to make life a little better for our kids (some of us, lol)
