I think that's cute (I love Salinger, though), and it probably would go over a lot of people's heads anyway.

And then could you imagine if she had neices & nephews? They would really have an Aunt Jemima!!
Here are a few off the top of my head:
BOYS (I'm better @ these)
- Damon
- Justin
- David
- Eric
- Van
- Andrew
- John (but not Jonathan)
GIRLS
- Annah
- Ashely
- Elizabeth (Beth for short)
- Jane
I'm not feeling real creative right now. I think it's really cool when people have names that have some type of meaning, whether it's a family name, there's a story about a literary character, etc.
I don't particularly like different spellings of names, because that has to be annoying going through life correcting it all the time. My sister's first name is Alyson & I really like that spelling, but no one ever gets it right.
What about names you would
never name your kid(s)?
BOYS
- Kyle
- Joshua (Josh)
(Both of those because boys with those names are ALWAYS in trouble).
- Todd
- Tad
- Shawn (w/ that spelling, I'm okay with Sean, although I doubt I would use it)
GIRLS
- Misty
- Crystal
- Lisa
- Amy
(Lisa & Amy because there are just so many of them. Maybe the same with Jennifer?)
-If anyone has those names, childred with those names, etc. please don't take it personally. They're just names that have certain connotations to me so I would avoid. I actually really like the name Joshua.
