So, just because of that and anyone else who exploits that....NO WEIRD NAMES !! Nice and Simple !!

As a suggestion, how about a name is OK if it appears as 3 different film characters plus it appears on 3 different baby-naming websites as well. Would that get rid of dodgy entries??

Speaking of tough calls, Sypher.....

....I am gonna disregard that challenge purely on the fact that BL is lucky to get away with her entry....

I don't consider my entry of Love as 'lucky' (or dodgy), rare as it may be (and certainly not my first choice for a girl's name). There are women named Love here in the States. Jennifer Love Hewitt, who goes by Love, was given the name by her mother whose best college friend was named Love.

TEE HEE....I really got a chuckle out of that one!

This week´s topic was vague to begin with. To help sort out the grey areas, I asked a few questions at the beginning of the week...of which only one was answered. Alexandria Good Time as Sypher´s first entry was the example I was following. Obviously, it led me to believe the song did NOT have to be about a particular girl. As far as I´m concerned, Alexandria is a city in Egypt. The correct form of the name, if you want to get choosy, is Alexandra (no i).
That´s not to say it doesn´t exist as a girl´s name, it´s just a little obscure.

Which brings me right back to my initial point! LOL
I think Somali´s idea is good, to be able to confirm the name with sites. If I find Darling listed in three of them, however, I want my points back!

BTW, anyone ever heard the name Guiomar for a girl before???

In my own defense, I forgot to add that I still haven´t gotten the italics in bold down yet (as you can see by my first entry)...so if it´s ok, I´ll just use the italics (no bold) in my entries.

Any more questions ? Nope....Good !! LOL

Only one challenge and that failed due to the unusual name in the entry. Saying that, the other name was correct as well (Rose).

Sypher this is the reason I knew it was ok to use my entry.

When I said I wanted my points back, I was referring to the points for the entry..not the ones for the challenge. LOL
I thought you were disregarding my entry altogether.

I agree with Annie. You said "Roses" was acceptable at some point. She should get her points.

Now, as for Love, I had no idea it was a girl´s name. I thought it was a surname. See? You learn something new every day!
