I've liked Maxwell and Moira for some time.

Of course, being a Physics major has nothing to do with either.

If I were to have a second choice, I'd probably pick Samuel and Sophia.

Boy: Marcus
Girl: Chardae

see thats the thing i dont understand about a lot of people's names. Anglo-German names have no poeticism to them, only hard consonents. Romantic-based names like Chardae, Laetitia, Renee, etc. have a poetic quality about them. Arabic is also oddly flowetic with female names like Yasmine, Fatima, Mariam, Aaliyah, etc.

the other day I heard a lady call her kid scout. I didn't turn around to see if it was a boy, but I'm sure he was.

What's with single women naming their sons scout? I assume they are single woman because no self respecting man would let a woman name his son scout

No insults, people! Those are the names we actually used.

Funniest name I ever heard was "Rebel". Some lady in a store started yelling "Rebel, get over here! Rebel, quit touching that! Rebel, you get your butt over here right now!" All I could think was WTF!? And this was in Pennsylvania, too, not Arkansas or something.

I kind of like the approach taken by one of my work colleagues. She pronounces her name as Shelly, but spells her name S-h-i-r-l-e-y.

actually there's a lot of truth in that, KrazyHorse. A large percentage of Black people have more unique names (and i dont mean Shamiqua or a slew of Arabic names)... I've known several people named Darius, Clarence, Dwayne, Dorian, Stefan, Tyrone, Marcus, etc... names which white men never seem to have.
