So uh, when did Kirby become a weird or terrible name, because I've known several people with the name and it never struck me as anything but normal.

Other than that one incidence, I have only ever seen Kirby as a last name.

I just immediately associate it with the video game character, even though I've never played any of the games. But then, I don't live in an English-speaking country.

I'm American and that's my immediate association too. It also doesn't exactly seem like a name that would be polite to give a woman.

The Skelton-Coffin wedding will be held on Halloween and officiated by the Cryptkeeper.

"Do you take this woman to be your AWFULLY wedded wife? Say 'I BOO!'"

At the amusement park Knott's Berry Farm in California there's a little chapel, where you can get married. So my cousin did--on Halloween. Knott's turns into a huge haunted house for October, so we were crammed into this little chapel while there were all kinds of things screeching, screaming and howling outside. :spooky:

They escorted us to the chicken restaurant for the reception, so we couldn't dump it for the park. :bahgawd:

Googled it and found it was a surname in Suffolk around the time of the battle of Hastings, and continues to be around today. So I was assuming it was just a surname-turned-given-name.

But it turns out it's also a Magic the Gathering thing.
