Karl Dallas and I share an inestimable advantage for the age of Google that you don't. Nobody *ever* has problems finding me on the Internet. Ursula Le Guin came up with a far-ahead-of-her-time idea in "The Dispossessed", where people were allocated a randomly generated unique-but-pronounceable string as their name. If I was looking for names for a child now I'd make sure their middle name was something like Maxtiplod or Zabbarooda. =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
