I sat through a baptism a couple of weeks ago for a baby named Romulus. We were all aghast. It was a family name, and all I could think was "they actually know someone who has gone through life as Romulus and they did this anyway!" Isn't adolescence hard enough as it is? (It's certainly hard enough to spell - I'm not convinced that's right yet!)

As I was reading some of the suggestions, I was wondering if the teasing factor the child will suffer at school should be taken into account, if, for example, they're named Cinderella or Xenia (too close to Xena). There is a website (www.babynamer.com) that lists baby names, and in addition to listing meaning and origin, it also lists drawback for each name, so the prospective parent can be fully aware of what their child might go through.
