babynamesMy 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.

Calvin = "And Hobbes?"
I love Diana, but everyone would think it was after Princess Diana. Bleccch.
I had a friend Leslie who was called Lezzie (like lesbian) for ten years during elementary and middle school. I think its a pretty name but after that...no way.
