Associations

[sayga.livejournal.com]

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.

Ugh. I hate the name Mira. It reminds me of how sometimes when my SO wants my attention, he says, "Mira!" ("Look" in Spanish...) And it really annoys me.
