Is there any chance that the GOC might loosen up a bit? As the French have ... with startling results sometimes, like numerous little French girls being named Oceane (can't do diacritals on the Web) of all things. I'm sure they'd never have been allowed to do that under the old rules.And I'd be amazed if there's a St Kreon ... come to think of it, my buddy always complains that she "had" to give her son that name for family reasons, but perhaps it's also a religious issue, she being rather more devout than her husband.Yeah, those bossy angels are a puzzle! Why not tackle the souls of Sharon's parents, since they upped and named him Ariel in the first place? Ain't no justice in the putative hereafter!

Euthanasia
