Beaufort Michael.
It’s French for “handsome and strong.”

Especially works if he’s an after-dinner port. I’m naming my kid Voiturenez. It ‘s French for “Automobile nose.”

I was thinking of naming my son Toolio. Does anyone know the origin on that one?
—[Jane] DeSac

Toolio DeSac. Boy, can’t think of any way that kid’ll get picked on. That’s one taunt-proof name there!

Does anyone have any suggestions? We are all up for exotic names. We especially like Japanese names but have yet to find any that strike us.

There’s always Rodana.

So far we have come up with;

Boys;Finn, Drake, Regan, Hazen, Tannith

Girls; Mehina, Miette, Acenzion, Reina, Sarika, Taise.

Ooh! Anagrams! I want my family tree to look like a Jumble game from the back of the Sunday Sports section. Extr;a credit for u’se of sem’colons. Wait a minute….Semicolynn!

This is for my niece, Dawn. She is expecting a baby girl in September. I suggested that they name her Dusk. What does everyone think?

I think her grand-daughter Nighttime would not approve. Or her grand-neices Afterhours and Graveyardshift.

I like the name Tegwin for my third child. My two children have uncommon names that are easy to pronounce and spell. I am compelled to use something original…ideas???

Yes. Jump off a bridge. Your kid sounds like an elfin creature in a Tolkein book.

I like the name Aynslie for a girl and Beckley for a boy.

Weren’t they the leaders of the snooty frat in Animal House?

brayden,makynzi,or karsyn
tyler, preston,or mason

Makynzi: Name or vanity license plate? Type of blade or rogue Japanese crime outfit?

I once met a lady named Rodana. I think she runs a successful internet business.

In her spare time she destroys Tokyo.

I’ve suggested to my sister that she name her little girl to be – Manchester. She’s not sure about it but she’s considering. What do you think?

Clever. Like being named Pittsburg or Schenectady. Kid’ll grow up to be beaten to death by Liverpool fans.
