Names Mr. Adrienne and I will not name our children:
Steve (my ex--the only ex I hate)
Misty (my hubby's ex--the only ex HE hates)
Wilma (it WAS my middle name. The second I got married, I high-tailed it down to the SSA and legally changed it. If I hear ONE more Fred Flintstone imitation, so help me........)
Eugene (This is a name that will get a child beaten up on the playground at recess.)
My family tree goes back a LOOOOOONG way. (Think 1500 years long). You can find a lot of "oddball" names like Patience, Prudence, Mercy, Love, etc etc. Lots of Berthas, Beatrices, Alices, and don't EVEN get me started on some of the Welsh names.
Given our family name (Duncan) we might go with something ethnically Scottish or Norman, but still within the "mainstream".
Adrienne
(YES, I've seen "Rocky", dammit!)
