Growing up I hated my name. It's a common name, from the bible...quite dull.

I don't mind it now, but think if I had a manchild, I might get a bit more unusual.

I think it would be amuzing to be named Lance Boyle, especially if I were a Pop-Artist, or to be a Banker named Nicholas Dymes would be a hoot.

Also last names which are real things can be fun too

"Hullo, is Mr Lyon there?"
I'm sorry he's on another Lyon right now"

I read a few years ago about a child in LA named Porcilina LaTrina, and thought despite my love for "madcap" things life may not be easy for her.

What do you wish you were named?
