I work at a college and I was looking up some info on an incoming student yesterday.  Someone with a similar last name popped up on my search, but it was the first name that definitely caught my attention:  Lesbia.

I'm hoping that her parents' first language is not English. I can see where it would sound pretty if that were the case.

Not sure since I don't know this student, and the last name had no obvious ethnic origin to me. But I would think the root (which I'm assuming is either Greek or Latin - I'm no linguist) would mean basically the same thing in several languages. But I guess I also hope that somehow they didn't know what they were doing to that poor kid.
