    Oh wow, that is pretty

    Yes, I think it's a good lawyer name.

    That's not a name, it's a phrase.

    How do you mean?


    I keep thinking it's a response to a porn-story-scenario.

    "Why is there a hot woman coming to fix a xerox machine when I don't own one? Whatever will we do NOW?!"

    "John Rose"

    It's a porn star name.

    There was a woman on some forums where I used to post years ago who named her daughter Madeline Sakura. This is more acceptable because Sakura is the child's middle name and can likely grow up to have a normal life.

    Normal lives are boring.

    I think it's pretty dumb when parents name their kids little kid names like Cody and Colby. It's fine for when they're little but when they grow up, names like that are no good. I mean, when you hear a name like Colby, do you think of some 30 year old dude or some stupid little kid from your neighborhood?

    Nah, I actually don't really care for that whole pantheon, despite the name. If I was going to name my kid after a god it would probably be Greek or Celtic. Or maybe Norse I guess.

    Oh yeah, plus I've noticed that Chinese people who have kids in America often name their kids old fashioned names. For instance, I went to highschool with a Chinese kid name Eugene, had a Japanese class in college with a Chinese kid named Maxwell, my brother has known a girl named Estor, and Vivixenne was talking about some kid named Maximillian earlier. What's up with this?
