jgofriПредыдущий пост напомнил об одной давно забытой ссылке. Вот: http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/index.html
К сожалению, там только по-английски, прошу прощения у неспикающих друзей.
"I am having this baby boy on Aug 6. Dad and I love Alexander Scott but our last name is Smith. Will the initals be a huge problem? We don't want him to be teased.
That's OK. Kids are pretty uncreative when it comes to teasing. They'll never eventually spot that one. "
"One of our "requirements" for a name is that the first and middle initials will sound nice together to make a nickname. I grew up as Brandy to some and BJ to others ....quick and easy nickname that kids may not make as much fun of.
For 15 years poor Brandy never understood why everyone snickered after calling her by her nickname. Or why all those football players asked her to prom. They were so rough in the back of the limo.
Guess they thought she was a different kind of girl. "

И только благодаря тому, что вся семья едва не на коленях умоляла будущую маму не портить жизнь своему ребенку, в итоге она сдалась и назвала сына Gage. Тоже не самое удачное имя, но всяко лучше Гейлорда.
