Aren't names fascinating? Said and Saida (sp?) ARE good names -- one of my best friends from Morocco is named Said.<br /><br />Ms Moon: I know! Not a trend that has reached American shores, I trust.<br /><br />Reya: It IS a heavy name, but I'd wager that most Muslim families name at least one son Mohammed. (Another reason it's so popular -- every family has one!) I read about that "Messiah" dispute. That IS a terrible name.<br /><br />Bug: Mohammed is so common in Muslim countries that if you don't know a guy's name, it's acceptable to greet him as Mohammed -- chances are you're correct! Typewriting Mwanza is a FABULOUS name.<br /><br />Vivian: I've always liked your name, though I must admit it reminds me of Vivian Vance. (Which is a good thing, in my book.)<br /><br />Lynne: Isn't it funny what one person sees and another misses? I'm sure I miss things in your photos all the time!<br /><br />Elizabeth: LOL, I thought that too!<br /><br />Nancy: I like your name, too. What the heck is a Ghost Orb??<br /><br />Linda Sue: Is that why you use both Linda and Sue, to distinguish yourself from all the other Lindas?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-44712867540908732212013-08-15T01:32:40.603+01:002013-08-15T01:32:40.603+01:00Your photo!

Name trends- Everyone had my name growing up, no body ever answered to it because they were all sure it was some one else being called.

He got named Joe anyway, but there weren't that many in his generation. <br /><br />I always hated that my name was so unique (at the time). Isn't that weird? Of course, part of that was because it was also a male name (Dana Andrews for example). <br /><br />When I was in Zambia I knew a Typewriting Mwanza.

Funny.<br /><br />There's a big flap in the U.S. right now because a woman was not allowed to name her baby "Messiah."<br /><br />I don't think it should be up to the courts to decide, but lordy lordy what a terrible name.
