Elián

Despite Elian Gonzalez, I like this name. And it's made up in the sense that it's traditional for people in Latin American countries to combine their parents first names. I've heard ridiculous ones like 'Josmar' before too. It does sound a bit like alien though.

I hate this name. I can't believe people are using this because of that stupid kid.

I had never heard of this name before the whole Elian Gonzales story came along. It doesn't really sound very masculine at all to me. Also, am I the only one who noticed that the name is VERY similar in sound and spelling to "alien?" As in space alien, or even as illegal alien? Rather an unfortunately apt name for young Mister Gonzales. :)
