    I'm glad to see you didn't rule out anything from Dostoevsky (sp?). Your impending daughter still has a chance of landing a five-part name.

    Erin

    P.S.-- Congratulations!

    My grandma's name is Daisy. And I like Molly and Margaret. Mind if I steal some names for our girl off your list? Tolcw has a nice ring to it.

    I actually met someone whose name was Rosa Sharon.

    I should probably point out that these are not names that I necessarily dislike, just ones that my daughter probably won't have. Except Margaret Thatcher Part II. I really don't like that one.

    Also, Rosa Sharon...... Hmmm, I think I like it!

    I like Molly. The rest, not as much. (And I'm fond of a certain diminutive form of Margaret and similar names.)

    I notice you didn't rule out any LotR names. Galadriel St. Lawrence has a certain sonorous quality to it.

    Sorry, Mike, but Galadriel and Arwin (however you spell it) are both categorically ruled out.

    Deuce is likely to result in much poop-related teasing.

    I think you may have been to hasty to exclude Gomer. That's dead sexy, and you know lots of girls are getting boys' names now.
