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.

Haha. I definately say it Saw-yer. That's the only way I've ever heard it pronounced actually. I think maybe it is a southern thing. :(
