What’s in a Name?

My name is David. That was also my dad's name, but that has nothing to do with it. Mom said she knew her first son would be named David since she was a little girl. I'm not precisely sure how she came to that decision. I personally like the name Nicholas. Maybe that's what I'll call my first son. It's interesting without being too strange. I feel bad for kids who have names their mom made up under the effect of an epidural. They won't say so (because they can't), but an employer looks differently at Flowerstar Moonleaf Jones than Peter James Smith, even if his friends do call him PJ.

    I agree with you completely about the Flowerstar thing.
    Nicholas is a good, strong and classic name.

    If I was a boy my mum would have named me Douglas Richard - Richard after my grandfather.
    Dave and David are great names. I have a nephew and cousin named Nicholas.
    I agree about the wilda$$ names. I played too! ;)

    My name is Peter James Smith. I found your site when I was googling my own name. Yes, I’m that bored today.
