One of the best known quotations from the plays of William Shakespeare occurs when Romeo says to Juliette: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet”.
So, what IS in a name? Today, apparently, quite a lot.
Which is the reason so many parents seek to invent unique names to make their girls stand out in a world of conformity.
Celebrities, in particular, frequently seem to be attempting to outdo each other in the contest for who can create the most bizarre or unpronounceable name possible.
Gone are the days when parents gave names from traditional sources, such as the Bible (Ruth, Rachel), or from flowers (Ivy, Rose), or even from months of the year (April, May, June). Now, it’s all about being different, preferably unique.
