What do you think about this: my sister knows a couple that got married and changed their last name to McCloud*, after a character in their favorite movie (or something). I thought it was interesting!

*EDIT: It is MacLeod, from Highlander! I asked my sister today. Sorry about the misspelling, I've never seen the movie :P

Do you like your SO's name?

My boy is called Craig, and I absolutely detest the name.
I can't explain why I hate some names and i've always had a problem with this one (along with Nathan, Richard and Peter). I swear i'm so odd about this sometimes!
Sometimes I don't like saying his name out loud.. infact before we got together he was known as Aussie2 (on account of my ex also being Australian).. Obviously he didn't take to that nickname too well....

Must add that whilst i hate his name, I absolutely love him. It doesn't make a dent in that issue, obviously :-)

Am writing a story. Need a strong, plain, simple and above all short boy's name. Something akin to James, only not so... James-y, if you know what I mean. Help?

How do they compare to the most popular names in other countries?

So I was sitting around at my desk bored and reading baby_names posts and I started saying random names of things, or random words on things, around me as if they were a name for a kid just to see what it sounded like. These are the ones I found interesting but didnt necessarily like:

Your decision on whether for a boy or girl :P

Revlon 
Maybeline/Maybelline  (PR the same as the make up)
Sleek
Dove
Shine
Facts/Fax/Fex
Design
Canon
Arts/Art
Powder
Candle
Metro
Kardon
Kodak
Dimmer
Sponse (PR like the Spons part of Sponsor, so it kinda sounds like ponce, from Poncelet)
Daily
Ticket
Braclet (Like Bracelet)

Some of these I'm sure actually are already some kids name. Cause people can be weird. lol but I'm just listing from what I see around me.

And for all you people who hate "unique" names or spellings, no I'm not saying its a good idea to use names like this I just thought it was interesting.

Drives me insane!

I work with a woman in her young twenties named "Jessica". She doesn't think it's cool, so she is legally changing her name to "Jessikah". *puke*

Now I have seen "Emersyn" (Emerson) and "Amyah" (Amaya).

This is name related...

I have a kitty who might need a name change. The name is currently Midas, but Midas may be a girl. I've narrowed the names down to three.

Olive
Anouk
Fifi

I love all three, the boyfriend likes Fifi, and our friend likes Olive. Also, Midas has a black brother named Dutch. We're sure Dutch is a boy.
