My brother had a problem in Slovakia

when he wanted to name his first child Liam. There was all kinds of paperwork but he finally got the name he wanted. I can just imagine the look on the bureaucrat's face the next time when he wanted to name his daughter Niamh. It was a surprise for the family, to say the least. But I am assured by the pretty girl with the lovely accent in a bookstore in the West of Ireland that Niamh is a very common name.

I like the birth announcement, but I think the kids name is overkill.

If pronounced syllable by syllable, the first name sounds like "Your Highness"..

The web site is legitimate, according to the info I saw when clicking on "2005 baby news" at the bottom of the page.

There was a memorable old **** VanDyke/Mary Tyler Moore show in which their son discovered his middle name was "Rosebud". Turned out that everybody in the family wanted this or that name used. So they took the first letter of them all, which spelled Rosebud. Happy

I cannot figure out the Icy Eight Special K.

Maybe the baby will change it when grown. "-)

Ketamine, I think. Wonder if Icy Eight is the drug the OTHER parent was on? LOL
