>Speaking of weird names...I knew a girl named Asshole pronounced 
ASH-ho-lay.

A few years back, there was a very funny Sat. Night Live sketch (rare 
event! alert the press!) where Nicolas Cage and Julia Sweeney played a 
couple who were trying to choose a name for their unborn son.  She 
keeps suggesting really simple names, names no one could possibly 
object to--John, James, Tom--and he keeps shooting them down because 
of some far-fetched way he imagines other kids could make fun of them. 
 He's getting totally worked up.  Then all is explained:  a delivery 
guy comes to the door with a package for "Asswipe Johnson."  "It's 
Ahz-wi-pay!" Nicolas insists.

So be warned, parents:  choose well, lest you scar your kid for life.
