My mom named me after the son of the best friend on the Donna Reed show. (Ref above: Last names safe on internet, commonality of unusual names) My name is Scott Smith. I was born in 1966. Look up the frequency. <img src="http://www.countingcows.de/aerger.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />I should have been Robert Sherman John. I am not. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> My father was Sherman Robert John. His father's "White" name (fullblood Seneca) was Robert Sherman John. My Grandfather's "White" name was Sherman Robert John...  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/paranoid.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":uhoh:" title="Paranoid    :uhoh:" data-shortname=":uhoh:" /> I owe my mom that much.It was very important to us to give our children no real hooks into out families. We're the "White sheep" of our families, Kryptowife being an only and my three brothers all being like me (strong code of honor and sense of right and wrong, not to mention IQs above "sheep" level). I do like the family tradition on both sides of having two middle names. We were going to name our oldest Aaron Michael Peter, but my gene donors decried it as "Too black", "too Irish" (Part of the family is Scottish), and "too Jewish". You wonder why we wanted unrelated names like my own? Thanks, Mom, even though you were the one who made us change it by threatening to cut off all contact and assistance (We were penniless at the time, young college students planning a wedding. Surprise! 8 months pregnant. Thanks, irregular cycles.) We changed it to Allen Michael Peter. He is Allen, never Al. He will simply not deign to notice you if you call him Al.The younger is Christopher David Sean. No changes. He's "Chris". Both boys were the result of assembling meanings from baby name books and comparing them with tonal flow. If we had ended up with a girl, she was going to be Alissa Sharon Marie.My younger brother, Stephen Cristopher David named his kids Carolyn Dawn Marie "Carrie" and.... Steven Christopher David. Sigh. The kid is still under 13 and they already get each other's mail. I warned him about the problem. My brother was turned down for a loan because he had no credit history. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> Of course, they pulled his son's.My youngest brother Dennis Ryan Peter named his kids Spencer (which was supposed to be his original name), Gideon, Sebastian ( I don't remember their pairs of middle names, my wife does), and his daughter Moira Kathryn Dahling after "Hook". Another sigh, but, hey, whatever. Initially, my sons were supposed to be Clark Kent Kal-El Smith and Bruce Wayne Batman Smith, but there were threats of great violence, even after I offered to drop the second middle names. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />--BK, who also disenfranchised of a vote in changing our names legally when we got married.</blockquote>
