Two children with interesting names today. A 5-year-old girl named Lourdes, which of course makes me think of Madonna, and I'm not sure how I feel about the name, but she was cute enough to carry it off. The other was a boy, maybe 8, named Adam Etheridge {Lastname}-- he apparently goes by Ridge. I'm guessing maybe he's a junior? I can't think of any other reason to pass up a perfectly fine name like Adam. I think Ridge is a bit soap opera-y, but it's miles better than calling him Etheridge. If he is a junior, they've probably chosen the best of their options.

Lourdes is a wonderful name for an adult. It's nice to see names like that aren't disappearing altogether in favor of nauseatingly cute kid names.

Ether would also be a nifty nickname, as far as odd nicknames go. Maybe he'd turn out to be a real knockout. (HA!)

Yeah, any name that lends itself to a joke like that would go right to the bottom of my list.
