the name game

For some odd reason I'm starting to pay close attention to names at the moment. Perhaps it could because of that upcoming responsibility of bestowing a name on an innocent little being who'll have to carry it for the rest of their life?
(Or at least until they're 18 which is when you can legally change your name in this country).

Here's a collection of names of people we've encountered over the course of this renovation:

Doran
Deon
Diani
Melvin
Melvyn
Sidwell
Gulzar
Marilyn
Pedro
Fipaza
Zakier
Kevin
Royson
Pamela
Nomana

Deductions:
a) I love living in a multi-cultural country.
b) Yes, I have spoken to, and in some cases spent considerable time with, a truckload of strangers recently.
c) No, I'm not shortlisting any of these for my unborn child.

Aw, go on. You don't get enough Gulzars these days.

By the way, drop by my blog if you give five minutes. You've won a wee prize!

That list was like a bunch of word veris. Have you considered any of those for your new gal? I've got "cosol" on offer for you today.

"Ovenui", perhaps?

Ok, I should stop, but "Tazoomic" was too good to pass up.
