You're quite right about being extra cautious with certain last names. I don't know why I didn't mention it above, but you need also to consider how names get shortened. For example, knowing that Richard becomes Dick, it would be a very careless Mr and Mrs Head that called their child Richard! :-) Hi Barb,

I know a lot of people may think it's just common sense to consider initials and how names sound when said along with middle/last names, but really nasty-sounding combos are way more common than most people think. I'll keep first names out to protect the innocent, but suffice it to say certain last names, such as Dick/Dyck, where parents need to be particularly vigilant. Excellent naming tips!
