Gosh, y'all are soooo....uh....middle of the road narrow. Course, this is an FM board! lol.
Anyway, my best friend's kids names are Geneva, River, and Gavin, and my other friends kid's name is Muwazu. So, maybe I just "roll" in different circles.

I'm just saying.

Muwazu ? Unless that is a family with a heritage from which that word sprung, that seems silly to me. If my parents had named me something like that I would probably have sued them.

On the other hand, I see think it unfortunate that most of the names we use are biblically derived. That concept makes me snicker and recoil simultaneously. But the whole "let's just make up some unusual name" thing also strikes me as bizarre. I would like to think I would name a kid a name that came to me after I saw them. That's what I have done with pets. The name becomes obvious at a certain point. With all the naming silliness I have heard about lately, it wouldn't surprise me if people started naming their kids Sofa, Kite, Speed Bump, or Alka Seltzer.
