• What's wrong with the name "7 of 9"? I like it. Of course, I am also one of those who are offended by how the new Star Trek films have ruined history (the future?) by the changes they made to the series.

    Also, I am not one who wants to give my name out for a restaurant to scream out that my order is ready. I have frequently use "Seven" in those cases. I am not sure if I like the stupid looks it causes, but I think I enjoy it.

    I have four kids, each of whom has a unique story about their name. One name we changed because the delivery nurse kept using it before we made a final decision. Another is a Greek spelling rather than the traditional American spelling. The other two are unique names but easily shortened to common names. I enjoyed sharing my name with others in school, but not everyone does. My kids have some options that allow them to choose unique if they wish. Of course, given my disgust with the American school system I also kind of look forward to putting a teacher in her or his place when they argue over how my kids names should be spelled!
