My GF had a friend from high school who named her kids Oranjello and Lemonjello. Also, I've heard census reports that brand naming your kids is on the rise, so lots of people are naming their kids Levi, BlackandDecker, and Maytag.

Ustxu Iceraped the Frigid Crystal of Slaughter was a glacier titan. It was the only one of its kind. A gigantic feathered carp composed of crystal glass. It has five mouths full of treacherous teeth, enormous clear wings, and ferocious blue eyes. Beware its icy breath! Ustxu was associated with oceans, glaciers, boats, and murder.

Well, I heard that few years ago Estonian parliament issued a law that forbade naming kids Norton or Matrix.

On the subject of gender declension of Russian (and Polish) surnames: as far as I know, immigration offices in non-Slavic countries which don't have gender declensed surnames use the masculine - at least that's what they do in Germany (a friend who emmigrated changed her surname from ending in -ska to -ski) and America (aunt also became -ski).

So I guess you could list gender specific masculine Slavic surnames.

Now, the problem I have is with the transliteration.  :-\

While doing some book keeping work today, I came across the name "Fuck."  Which was the maiden name of some 90 yr old dutch woman.  Clearly, such a liberal name belongs.

Davion (Hey, if we're gonna have Steiner, why not Davion?)

It'd make LCS feel very dirty.

Yah, it sounds like minecraft with content, you have obviously missed the point, people dont like content, they like different coloured blocks.
Seems to work fine with my copy. As soon as I loaded the human caravan came by and the world burst into fire.

Well, I certainly could. But I did what I did for the sake of the Russian fans of the game, who never emigrated and for whom to see a feminine name with a masculine surname is pain to the eyes.

"Alex" is most certainly a unisex name, and a quick search showed that it had been suggested/implemented, but as a female-only name.

We have Jesus as a first name. Do we have Christ as a surname?

It is? I thought it was his last name, and it went 'Jesus H. Christ'.
