Since we're on the topic of names for children, I've been thinking about what I would name my kids if I were to have any.

Personally, I would like to have girls, but if I were to have sons, I was thinking for my firstborn, it would be Stanley Kevin Orson (last name). I always thought being named after family members was an unnecessary tradition, so I wanted to name my first son after three writer/directors I really respect. Stanley Kubrick, Kevin Smith and Orson Welles (and not after Kyle Mclachlan on DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES).

But if I were to have a second son, I was thinking of naming him Flash. Because I think it would be cool to name him that, plus he's already have an awesome theme song ("Flash's Theme" by Queen) he could play to boost his spirits.

Tell me right now if naming him that will be brought up in a thread like this in the future and be mercillesly mocked.

JoannaHobbit: you know what really annoys me though, is these young mothers here in NZ that uses their babies photos as their own id photos on bebo.
I can't help thinking how dangerous that is for the protection and privacy of the kid. Anyone can get hold of them.

You can report abuse and you can allow entry to only friends if you want to, but i know people to go to the extreme with leaving their phone numbers and freaky gay naked photos of themselves and they turn it into something nasty. but if you stick to who you know it's a cool way to communicate.
My page has my id photo of Serenity ship and i have a message to recommend people watch firefly to try and gain more fans and i have photos of the movie up for people to see.

No sorority should ever contain the Greek letter Mu. You're just asking for it.

BTW Tara is also the name of the plantation that belongs to((Katie)Scarlet O'Hara's family in "Gone with the Wind".

And after reading this thread I don't feel too bad about my own name, Martha. I quickly got the nickname of Marty though. My Mom is a Martha too and it was just too confusing.

I refused to saddle my own daughter with Martha and Mom got a bit mad at me for a while. But that was 18 years ago and she's forgiven me.

My brother has the family name of Edward Shain and chose to use my grandfather's nickname of Ned. Not too many of those around these days too.
