Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing

What is wrong with having a common name? It hasn't hurt anyone I know.

Some of it, I'm sure, has to do with race. On the other hand, a lot...doesn't, either. (I don't see why Rice's or Elders's name would come in for mockery. They're both unusual enough to maybe raise an eyebrow at the spellings, but they're not, you know, Krystynne. Neither would make me even blink attached to "Supreme Court Justice..." -- well, OK, I'd blink if it were Rice, but that is because I hate her.) *shrug* There are people with unusual ("ethnic" or not) first names that are unusual without being stupid. It's the stupidity that gets me.

(And what ethnicity are you calling Gwyneira and Lyra? "Gwyneira" sounds like "stupid white chick trying to be all Arthurian or something with the kid's name" to me. "Lyra" is entirely bland and could belong to almost anyone.)
