Great.
I like unusual names too.
BOYS: Bracken, Landon, Presley, Jackson, Sutton, Dade, Grayden, Newt, Stranger, Zero,Cyrus, Gringo,
GIRLS: Rhys, Phoebe, James, London, MacKenzie, Lake, Kaya, Dillion, Akira,Kaui,Leeum,Matilda, Nakita, Jamie-Lee, Tessie,Nevins,Milo,Shiloh, La-Toya, Pacific,
Place names:
Towns such as Horseheads and Penn Yan, New York; Baraboo, Wisconsin; Tombstone, Arizona; Truth or Consequences, New Mexico; Knockemstiff, Ohio; Maggie's Nipples, Wyoming; and Rabbit Hash, Kentucky are American place names that beg for explanation.
Chicago, for instance, is based on an Algonquin phrase for the place where wild onions grow. Tulsa is another example. What exactly is a Tulsa? Well, Tulsa is simply a Muskogean Indian name for the town that originally stood where Tulsa stands today. Pocatello, Idaho got its name from an Indian leader who was helpful to Americans in clearing the way for the railroad to go through. Winnipeg, in Canada, owes its name to the Algonquins also. Winnipig was the Algonquin word meaning dirty water, a possible non tribute to the Red River, which flows near Winnipeg.
Thanks.

I heard a story once, and I don't know if it's true or an urban legend, about someone who named their children orangejello and lemonjello. Yes, it looks like jello flavors because they are. It's all about the pronunciation. or-ange-jel-lo and le-mon-jel-lo. When my best friends mother-in-law heard the story she started calling her two sons by those names. My friend, not wanting to be left out came up with her own...Ki-wi-jel-lo.
