My name WAS Nigel Ginn. Not any more though. And I feel a lot freer as a result.
It was sure no fun getting picked on when I was at school and it has taken a lot of getting over, still, years down the track - thanks to the scars.
Parents - be a little more considerate to your kids!
Cheers.
PS - I would be interested in responses to this note. Thanks.

You're a man after my own heart, JimmyOlsen! The rest of you, a worn out teacher's dream of people with rational, decipherable names is not a serious proposal to violate the U.S. constitution by forming a bureau to enforce it. Now, go to the board and write, "Irony is not to be taken seriously" fifty times. Edited 09-24-2002 09:40 AM

Regarding the Ashley, Asheleigh, Ashelei, Ashli type stuff, yeah...not only is it just plain stupid, I'm sure it's hell on the poor kids' teachers, or anyone else who needs to write their names on forms, etc. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to do serious tasks like naming a human being. Too much responsability for them. I think if I have a kid I'm just gonna name him John. Not Jonn or Johnn or anything, either.

I don't know about Triple M Rogue, but it can earn great sympathy points if you tell your date you've got a silly name. Many times, I've told women my middle name is Allison. At some point, they always ask what my middle name is, and I make a big deal about not wanting to tell them, making them promise not to laugh, etc.
My middle name is not really Allison, but it is fun.

Jerry, sure the name is ill-advised. The kid should seek to have it
changed as soon as possible. That does not mean the state should
regulate what is a legit name. (Nor should the state regulate the
spelling of names, Pat.) I'm no fan of creative phonetics, but a Bureau
of Names is too much red tape for too little benefit.

I can't see any angle from which naming a child after a criminal gang should be considered a good thing.

Oh, get a life. Just what we need is a government "authority" to decide what parents may and may not name their children. Why not just go the next step and have the government assign children's names ? Ok, 3MR can have my name (Dean), and I'll take the name Triple M Rogue. It sounds better to me, and I don't care what government lackey/minion/small-fish-POS-for-brains thinks it sounds dorkey.
Triple M Rogue, DOH! - I mean Dean.

Pat: Yeah, definitely. My niece is named "Allyson." I think. It might be "Allysson" or "Alysson." Cripes.

Good. Now pass a second law. Parents have to spell their kids names correctly or at least in some relation to the way they want them pronounced. Aeshlie, Oshli, Achly, Asley. And God help you if you pronounce it phonetically. Some baby brat will scream at you, "My name isn't Ah-shlee, it's Ah-SHILL-eye!!!" For god's sake, people! I won't even begin on the variations on Brittany I've seen and heard.
