Associations

My husband and I had a lot of trouble naming our daughter, because we played word association with a lot of names. He'd say "Lydia" and I said, "eyelids!" My friend said, "Nyla." DH said, "Nylon string!"

What are some of your word associations that go with names? Especially the bad/funny ones that would be such an overpowering association that it would prevent you from naming a kid that.

i think the spelling of olivia is awful and always makes me think of an olive, which i think tastes disgusting. same thing goes for the name oliver.

olivia makes me think of liver, I guess because of the "liv" in the middle. I like olives though and olive leaves somehow symbolise peace.. but if you hate them then that makes sense ;) i don't like oliver either

I completely agree. That's possibly the one thing that could keep me from using Olivia.
