I met a woman named Wonderful. I thought it suited her.

I knew a woman named Daffodil, she had a sister named Snowdrop and two other sisters that I can't remember their names. As she said her mother named them after her favourite flowers.

Today's parents seem to believe they can
    alter their child's destiny by picking the perfect—preferably
    idiosyncratic—name. (Destiny, incidentally, was the ninth most
    popular name for girls in New York City last year.) The current crop of
    preschoolers includes a few Uniques, with uncommonly named playmates like
    Kyston, Payton and Sawyer. From Dakota to Heaven, Integrity to Serenity,
    more babies are being named after places and states of mind. Names with
    alternative spellings are on the upswing, like Jaxon, Kassidy, Mikayla,
    Jazmine and Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backward), as are mix-and-match names
    such as Ashlynn and Rylan. "For the first time in history, the top
    50 names account for less than 50 percent of boys born each year, and for
    less than 40 percent of girls," says Cleveland Kent Evans,
    professor of psychology at Bellevue University in Nebraska and author of
    <I>Unusual & Most Popular Baby Names</I>.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2C1AB5CE-3364-471E-A7F9-38F2A9E0C9A9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
