Of course, the ultimate cruelty is attendant to the type of
nomenclature which gives us Dusty Rhodes, or that ilk. Phil, in your
case, you might have considered the first name of, say, "Twice."
Shoals aint all that bad. You could have gone over the top and have
named him Shoals Twice Daley, which more properly belongs on a sign
at a harbor entrance. Have mercy ....

I have always wondered why parents did this to their kids.
I mean "MoonGlow" or whatever, what are the parents thinking?
I can understand thinking that you don't want to name your kids
like everybody else.
I have 4 kids and the "creative" names we put into the middle names.
My best example is my youngest son who was almost born on Star
Island (one of the Isles of Shoals), 7 miles off the NH coast from
Portsmouth.
Fortunately, the Coast Guard carried my wife back to the shore
before the birth.
So we named him Joshua Raymond Shoals Daley.
We had a bunch of people tell us that his first name should be
"Shoals".
Go figure.
