My Grandpa's name is Ernie. He's more like Bert.

I wonder why the name went out of fashion? Did someone with that name ruin it for everyone else?

The old definition of gay is happy. So Gay, the name, used to be akin to naming a child Joy.

Goddess -.-

My friend’s 10-year-old daughter is named Patience.

I really can't imagine why

I named my stuffed animal Egg-amemnon as a play on the name, but that's just because she's the Easter bunny. We call her Aggie for short.

I l worked with someone called Agamemnon. He was a Greek scientist and was absolutely lovely! I also worked alongside a girl called Soapy. Perhaps the world of science attracts quirky names…

Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia's life to win a war.

A buddy from work got a dog from another friend of ours. When he was a puppy I would go over and play with him and told buddy #1 all about him. Since I "knew" the puppy, he asked for names. I told him Agamemnon but he told me he couldn't call for him when he was drunk with a name like that. I told him to call him "Aggie" for short...... his name is now Ray. Disappointed is an understatement.

To be fair, I don't see many Patroclos or Menelaus either. Maybe in Greece?

Actually, in Greece and Cyprus, you can meet people called Agamemnon, Achilles, Odysseus, etc.

Dude was an jerk...why would you want to be named after him?

Writing that name out in cursive is a chore. all those m's and n's and having to remember how many humps you draw for each ...

In the prison series Oz, there was a character named Agamemnon.

Not even in Greece, it's sad - too many Alexanders and Jasons though.

Please don't

Gaylord Focker. Best, worst name ever!

Priest

Ursula was fabulous though. I see nothing wrong with having that name simply because of her.

That's a very nice SX-64, btw.

I very much wanted to name my first born son "Robin", was told no in very stern terms by my ex. So he was named Something Benjamin. Then my FIL told me to change his middle name, because it sounded "too Jewish". I am not making this up. Second son. My inlaws came to the hospital, and again told me to change HIS name, because it would be confused with his great-uncle, who was 80something at the time. Nevermind that her children were named after her brother, her other brother, her husband, and her cousin. SO glad they're both dead now.

"Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold, Let me in your window, Heathcliff, it's me, I'm Cathy, I've come home, I'm so cold, Let me in your window."

The name of one of King Charles II's mistresses (there were many).

No Radshack, Meshach or Abednego, either.

I used to know a girl named stormi. I currently work with two different girls named autumn and winter. Winters best friend from childhood is named spring.

I always think of Grover from the PJO series- love him

Good thing because he was evil to the smurfs.

Did you check in Wales?

Being pedantic here. Jeeves isn't a butler, he is a valet.

Sounds more like a last name.

"Stupid Dog! You made me look bad! Ooga Booga Booga!"

Gertrude Stein.

Shakespeare created the name Jessica. Factoid of the day

My dad and brother are both named Gary, but it's more common in the US. Of course, my brother is in his 40s, so I'm not sure how popular it is with newer generations.

"'Eezer Goode 'Eezer Goode He's Ebeneezer Goode!" Who remembers that song? Apparently it contains references to drugs, who knew?

We had a chap called Simon Manley in school. He was very short. One day in geography class, the teacher was out and he was jumping from desk to desk. My neighbour looks at me and says, "One small step for man, one giant leap for Manley."

Are you sure it wasn't the Biblical name Dorcas, which means 'gazelle'?

My late grandmother was Mildred and my late aunt was Edith. Both were awesome.

I worked with an Orenthal in the late '00s. He was probably in his late 30s or early 40s. I'm pretty sure he went by his initials, though I can't recall now for sure.
