A Screamapillar by Any Other Name

We thought of a boy name that we both liked pretty quickly. This, even though TheLimey completely rejected both "Han" and "Lando". (However, he sure offered up "Leia" pretty quickly!) The accepted boy name involves the name of a friend of his as a middle name. (I also suggested we should simply steal the names of that entire family for the sake of convenience.)

But girl names have seemed a lot more difficult. Basically, it's a choice between Blandy Beigette and Frillinia McFrumpstress--simple names are so plain as to be ugly, while the pretty and/or fancy names are far too froofy. (Some, of course, are froofy and ugly.) I even printed out the lists of the 1,000 most popular names for various decades and tried to find some that way.

Oh, and he also rejected my science-name favorite, which is Conifer. (I don't think he'll even consider Aquifer.) He furthermore disliked--even as a middle name--Slytherin, for some reason! (And Hermione.)

However, when I suggested the name of the restaurant where we met as a middle name, we found we both liked it. It just looks like an unusual spelling of a typical girl name, anyway.
