well yea, but i never met another kid named ... my real name, excpet sour
old ladies. small wonder i like rhys more. also, it was made fun of a lot.
LOTS and lots. it can be rather daunting.
i like atticus, but there is something to be said for modernity and
keeping with names that won't be a burden.
good names have chracter, but you lend to it what you are, as much as it
dares you to become what it means. there's a fine line between a great
name, and one that will torment the kid.
