Always good therapy!<br /><br />I also get peeved with parents who choose names that confuse whether their kids are boys or girls....."Marion" comes to mind. And what's the story about "Shawn" and "Sean?" English is already convoluted enough!<br /><br />Thanks again.

I omitted a few that were based on the short name for Richard (there are more Dick Heads out there than you could imagine), and some other body parts, but just didn't want to go that way.
