A quick question

Since we're still stuck on names and all and you, my dear readers, were so very helpful last time I publicly pondered these questions ... tell me true what are your associations with the following (granted, exceedingly unusual) names:

Ad.lai
A.mos
E.mil
Av.ner
Mi.lo

We're wondering if one of these has particular racial connotations, or if that reference is now too old to be that important, and if another is so exceedingly waspish as to be unpleasant. Not that I knew either reference until my father mentioned them, but apparently my cultural knowledge is a bit limited.

I really appreciate all of the earlier suggestions and found it quite funny that several people including Angela (do you have a blog?) included our chosen middle name. The middle name has been fixed for some time and would have been the first name had it not jumped in popularity in the past 2 years thanks to some rather unfortunate celebrities including a Brazilian supermodel/football player couple and John Travolta's "miraculously-conceived-naturally-thanks-to-the-power-of-wanting-it-really-badly-and-relaxing" baby.

We also realized last night that one big problem is that JD's last name is so short that a lot of the easy Hebrew names like Lev, Dov and Eli really don't work with it. I don't want to give my kid a burden for filling out forms, but it seems like his full name should be slightly over 2 syllables/6 letters. Of course, that does raise the question of using my last name for the bargain baby, something we debated for a long time with the fusspot. JD is totally open to it, but now that one child has his last name I'd kind of like to continue to use it for the rest to minimize confusion. However, my name is one of those totally classic Jewish last names (like Cohen or Goldstein) which would eliminate the need for a Hebrew first name. Argh! Back to work.
