Pedro/Peter means 'Rock' :-)

But apart from that, it supposedly dates back to Native
Indians/Americans.
They made soup in an animal pouch using hot rocks as the heating source.

Argh, don't remind me! My sister has a man's name with a cute
spelling, but she's always hated it. She used to bug me about
my getting a girls name, but as I soon discovered the Net, I
found out the truth. Another reason why I wish my mother
was still alive, so I could tell her what she did to me... ;-)

LOL!! :-)

I look at some peoples/kids names and think "Do your parents really hate
you *that* much??!!"

:-)


I chose both my names about 25 years ago, but I've never been to
Lucania!!

Oh seriously! Between the "soap opera names" (whatever current fave
show/character) to the deliberate misspellings of classic names (perhaps
some tacky attempt to be cute or "individual") to anything with multiple
apostrophes...the poor kids get labeled "lower socio-economic class"
before anyone ever lays eyes on them. It is just sad.

And then you have the straight out whack-jobs that are called "parents"
who name their kids Peaches, Fifi Trixibelle, Pixie, and Tiger Lily.

Actually, the saddest thing of all is you. Ugh.

Very, sad. It happened to me to read of a Maveric (yes, without the final
"k"), a "Gei Ar" (plain italian spelling of Dallas's JR) and I know some
thousands of Pamela, LOL
