Oh, the Names Parents Give Their Children!

One of the topics I have found interesting since I was a senior in high school are names. I even did an article for our school newspaper on interesting names. My high school English teacher (they call it language arts now) told us one time of a friend of hers whose last name was Lear. They had a daughter and gave her the name of Crystal Shanda. So her full name was Crystal Shanda Lear. I went to college with a girl whose name was Holly Wood. So, the other day a friend of mine got a new granddaughter. Her daughter had named the baby after an old television show character. Anyone remember the show Murphy Brown? Yep, the poor baby was named after that show. There have been other interesting names I have come across over the years. Soap opera names are very popular also, as well as other television and movie characters. How about you? Do you know of any people who have named their babies very interesting names?
