Yet something else for us to over analyze! :lol:

I am writing a book and I was using a baby names site because I'm running out of names for characters. I thought for shits and giggles I would check out a few hip related names.

Gordon - Round hill
Robert - Bright fame
Paul - Small
John - God is gracious, merciful

Josephine - God will increase
Susan - Brilliant of the sun
Cordelia - Daughter of the sea
Evelyn - hazelnut

Thomas (as in Tom)- A twin
Gus - Revered, Exalted

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only person who does this. I generally use a book, though, because when coworkers catch me stuying baby names they tend to leap to the wrong conclusions. (Okay, fine, they actually leap to the conclusion that I have a new kitten to name.)

I would append "... yet cool, and probably deadly" to Paul, but aside from that, nice work! :thumb:
Interesting.

...Hazelnut? That's an odd meaning.
