Heh. Ralpheen Wiggumia. Also in this naming vein is Nigella, no matter what Ms Lawson might say it means. I'm going for the Terry Pratchett meaning, personally: "oops, we wanted a boy". And can I just say, oh my god, after years and years of reading my various webjournals, my boyfriend actually deigns to leave a comment! (Sorry, KOEN, I'm referring to my *real* boyfriend here.) Wow. It's like being touched in my special area by a rock star, although of course not as cool. Ralpheen. Heh. Ralpheen Wiggumia.

It's like they're saying, "Well, you weren't born a boy, so we're just going to punish you for the rest of your life, you little bitch." The two best I've come across so far are Ralpheen and Willissa. I LOVE parents who clearly want a boy, but get a daughter, and decide to give them a modified boy’s name, anyway.

Yet another fine example of you upholding your part of the equation for us meeting up in HELL. Keep up the good work. A life of evil deeds is cheaper than a plane ticket around the world. ;) Aaah, Aimee. Yet another fine example of you upholding your part of the equation for us meeting up in HELL.
