Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?

This got me thinking about what kinds of things NOT to name a child. And I came up with a list. For each of these, just append your own last name to simulate it being your own child:

* Bucephalus Satan

* Elcardion M. Poughkiepsie

* Smithsonian “el Gorda” Clamato

* Clem

Did I miss any obvious ones?

    My good friend/former flatmate Chris told me his father originally wanted to name him “Lucifer”.

    Seriously.

    And I thought my father’s plan of “Zebulon”–after some relative or another–sounded hideous enough. (Even better, he wanted to go with a Zebulon Edward, to go with Brewer.) I am still a bit glad to have been born a girl instead, even if my mother swears she would have rebelled.

    I am totally naming my kid Lucifer. Ever since reading Lucifer Jones.

    Lucifer would be prettier for a girl, I think.
