hehe. poor girl.
what no-one seems to have considered here are people who actually want humorous or unusual names once they've got past the childhood 'must be normal' stage. is it sods law that anyone called Astra or Starla will wish for a normal name whereas Jane and Susan will wish they'd been named something more unusual to match their eccentric nature?
