names

they're very important. they define you.

i have this theory (and i know i'm not alone) that if you give your child a crap (ie made up or non-standard) name then that means trouble. there are also names that seem to routinely crop up as belonging to children who are trouble. and i've discovered this year that there is a name that rhymes with my least favourite boy's name that also applies to a child who is hard work. there are certain professions that find it a challenge to name their children cos there are lots of names that remind you of children.

the other thing is spelling of names when a spelling pattern is misused. eg. cayenne is not pronounced cheyenne and shannia is not pronounced shania (no matter what you say).

(p.s. there are some paragraphs in here but for some reason they aren't coming out as such...i don't know)
(p.p.s. i came back and edited (editted?...just doesn't look right and as a chinese speller that's what i go by) them back in)
