Friend of mine went to college with brothers named Cosmo and Om Buffalo

I myself went to high school with an April Showers. She had NO sense of humor about it.

There's an Olympic-medalist swimmer named Misty Hyman. I get that Hyman is an old-school, dignified family name and all, but you'd think that people named Hyman would know better than to name their children adjectives.

My parents almost named me Myfanwy, which is a very traditional, ordinary, common name... in Wales. Not so much in southern California, and I'm glad they came to their senses.

(For the non-Welsh, it's pronounced "muh-VON-way". Roughly.)

Also, as a Welshman, Myfanwy is an excellent name, and you should be proud to have been considered for that lofty title.
It's a fantastic name. It just falls into the Menlo Park Anglo kid named Nazim category of situational dissonance. And would cause a lifetime of being addressed as "Uh".
