What is the deal with giving your kid a last name as a first name?

And, here in Chicago, we have Richard Daley as our mayor. Doesn't go by "Dick", however. But, we also used to have a congressman named Dick Phelan (prounounced "failin'").

i like Dick Devine better.

i always found it funny when someone would go, "ooh, Delilah, that's a pretty name! and it's from the Bible too!" yeah, but i'd hesitate to name my kid after a villain-type.

I actually had a friend with a middle name of Bloodsword years ago.

My nephew's name is Cain. :\

as long as he doesn't have a brother named Abel...

if he ever had to watch the kid, he'd tell you he's not his brother's keeper! then you'd need to look our for trouble.

You could always give your kid your "porn name." Here's how you do it:

Take the name of your childhood pet (if you had more than one, just pick one). That's the first name. Then take the name of the street where you lived as a child. (Again, just pick. It's not rocket surgery.) There's your porn name.

For example, if the cat you had when you were 8 years old was named "Nick," and the street you lived on when you were 8 years old was "Powers Ferry Road," then your porn name is "Nick Powers." So name your kid "Nick Powers _____." Or maybe "Nickielyn Pywrs _____."

"Seppy Brooks"

Damn. :\ That sounds more like a Depression Era comedian than a porn star.

And I just ran across this in the news today.
