Today while I was waiting for my tire to be fixed, I was flipping through a magazine and came across a family with the following sib set:

Ishtar (f)
Ashur (m)
Aturina (f)
Nineveh (f)



Personally, I think they're all extremely ugly names. What makes it even more confusing is that, although Dad wasn't in the picture...mom and all the kids looked very much Caucasian, so I can't even dismiss it as being cultural names.


EDIT Thanks to google, I was able to find the following:

Ishtar is the Assyrian and Babylonian counterpart to the Sumerian Inanna
Ashur, the main god of Assyrian mythology
Nineveh was an important city in ancient Assyria

So, the only name I can't fit into the "theme" is Aturina

Look at my edit, I was able to find a semi-common thread to three of the names. It seems Ashur ISN'T just a kr8tv spelling of Asher.
