It would be funnier if she became a stripper, though. Or fetched frisbees. I knew a Lady who did that.

Raincoaster, I see your “Princess” and raise you a “Lady”. Yes, I met a girl (an American) whose first name was “Lady”. To top it off, at the time, she was dating a genuine (if somewhat raffish) British peer. All I could think was that she could wind up as Lady Lady Thus-and-So.

Careful with that: in the hands of the irrational, it can result in “Prince Michael Jackson”. My sister went to school with a girl named Princess. I always thought she must have been named after a dog.

I call it “the enema test.” Imagine what it will sound like, when they are old and in a nursing home, to hear your child’s name used in the following sentence… “_______, it’s time for your enema.” For example, “Britney, it’s time for your enema.”

Then decide if you want to name your child that. I figure if a name can sound even remotely dignified, or at least not ridiculous, when used in that sentence, it might stand up to the test of time.

Aristotle Federline might just be the coolest name I’ve heard all year. And Britney’s not totally ignorant of the period: she did quite a decent paper on Sophocles’ Antigone. Maybe she’ll marry one of those roving Greek Shipping heirs and start over again. Heraclitus Latsis FTW!

Whoa, watch my subpar reading skillz at work. BC does not equal AD; who knew?

Aristotle Federline: still made of win!

and who could hardly be expected to name her offspring after the more popular 4th Century BC philosophers.

Boethius Federline: a name made of win!

Tiffany is a real name. It’s the English version of Greek Theophania (“appearance of God”), French Tiphaine. Suitable for children born on the Feast of the Epiphany.

I’d be surprised if the parents of the average Tiffany knew that.

Then quite obviously she was named after you!
