Read years ago in Time Mag or some such that these names had actually been used by parents who were slightly untutored

I actually find these names rather mellifluous but wouldn't have the nerve to try them out on live children

No,but my wife responded once to an academic question at school about an ancient Greek mythological figure rolling a boulder up and down a hill for all Eternity as Syphillis instead of Syphyus..cannot spell now..Brought the house down..wish I'd been there ..She's still a champ.. Better than Richard Scratcher,I suppose..Maybe.

I agree that the words themselves have a euphonious sound.
How horrible for the child to deal with however.
I knew a family that called their children:
Dodge,
Ford,
and
Chevy,
Fun is fun...but why burden the poor children with explaining their name forevermore?
Other injudicious choices I have known:
Harry Ball(who wisely went by his second name Victor, but taught German in which he was referred to as Hier Ball)
Roman Cirkus(not really a fault, seeing the family was not of N.American extraction. How could they have known??)

No! Never heard of those names for children. They get them out of the Planned Parenthood flyers they read at the "free clinic"?!
