Calamity Jane & Capability Jack

[xcuore.livejournal.com]

i was watching this english programm tonight. its about those family's in which the mothers change from family (your wife, my wife is the dutch title) and there was this family with these children;

Calamity Jane
Pavey Blue
Beau Jangles
Capability Jack

CAPABILITY JACK? that sounds like an action-man doll.
& Calamity Jane, doesnt that mean Disaster Jane?
tho Beau Jangles sounds ok, but then again i dont know the story behind mister Bojangles.
i'm not sure about Pavey Blue, compared with the other names it looks o.k. to me, but maybe theres also something behind the name Pavey Blue (maybe something with Navy Blue?)

oh christ LOL and they're not supposed to be serious names i don't think.. like Calamity Jane is a film.. Beau Jangles is obviously after Mr bojangles the song yanno stuff like that.. i don't like any of them in a serious child naming way.

Capability Jack makes me think of Capability Brown, the nickname for a rather famous landscape designer - http://www.capability-brown.org.uk/

Really, all of these name are cruel.

Oh I've seen that show :)
Hmm don't mind Capability, after Capability Brown I suppose. At least he has a normal mn to fall back on.
Beau and Jane are fine name, but the combos are a bit much.
The others, eep just no.

That is going over board. I rename them Jane, Pearl, Beau, and Jack. So much better.
