We are really stuggling to come up with a name for DC4 due soon so for inspiration could people post their top ten names at the moment? Thanks!

"A name is just that. A NAME. Not a passport to future success, a reflection on the wonderfulness of the parents or an amulet to ward off disease. JUST A NAME."

Yes, a name is just that, a name, its purpose being to IDENTIFY a person.

I really don't get your point Confused.
