What's in a name?

Totally random....
I have known many folks with what I consider interesting names. Here's a list:
Edison
Emerson (2 of 'em!)
Emmitt
Eugene (not that bad, but not too many of 'em running about these days)
Liam (it's new for Yanks!)
Saskatchewan (a friend accused me of making this up until I got him on the phone to talk to her, then she blushed and apologized)
Neftali
Ugochukwu
Ikenna
Anu
Crispin
Bethsheba (and all of her siblings who have Hebrew names)
Silence
Dane (3 of 'em in town)
Obinna
Osiris
Taurus
Kenyatta
Kenyetta (no relation)
Fatima
Exzavious
Jacouri (a friend's son)
Obie
Shanta and Keisha
Van (2 of 'em)
Amana
Samer (Arabic for 'something two lovers whisper to each other at night')
Salima

OK I gotta stop, there are far too many, I could go on all night. Feel free to add your list of strange but beautiful names....

Lyndsay said Liam could crash on our coach and watch the puppy she MIGHT be getting this weekend! ;) Can we keep him? Can we? Can we?!

Dang it! Ever notice that I ALWAYS type COUCH as COACH! grrrr! Damned bad habit... like I always want to spell nervous as nervious. What's up with that!?

Can you keep the puppy or Liam? HAHA HA!
Cynthia couldn't make the list because I've known too many Cindys, sorry! Remember the Cindy songlist your admirer made for you? "Get along Cindy Cindy!" Now that's gold! :- P
Virginia Salima is great too, I shold have put your first name down as well, Sali. :)

Ha ha! What a nut! I wonder if she's from some strange alien culture where relations are indicated by FIRST names? lol
"Crap-asis" isn't even that creative. I'm sure there are better insults. Pishaw.
Anyway, it's not as zany as the time I was talking to a friend on the phone. Suddenly, his line went dead and I heard this lady talking to me. She said very aggravatedly, "Hello? Hello?" Like it was urgent. So I said, "Um, hello?" And she sighed dramatically like I was wasting her time and snapped, "Ugh! Just let me speak to Dumbo!" Then her line went dead and my friend came back. I was laughing so hard tears were coming out of my eyes and it took me a while to finally settle down enough to tell the story. But I know she said that: "Let me speak to Dumbo." And she was annoyed I was withholding "Dumbo" from her! ha!
