ABADDON:
In the season one finale of the “Doctor Who” spin-off, “Torchwood,” this monster is the thing that has apparently been hiding in the Cardiff Rift. I know for one I’m never naming a child this. I just get this image of a giant demon stomping around Cardiff, killing everyone who gets in his shadow. Nooo way, man.

ALEXIS:
This name almost sounds like the name of a car (Lexus). However, Alexis fitted someone who was a lovely, exotic and seductive princess of either ancient Egypt or Greece. She was the helper of her royal close-ones and would lend a hand to anyone close to her…but if only that helpfulness was the same with others it would be different. Alexis lived in a palace of luxury and was so aloof but one day, a servant of hers became jealous and planned to tell one of the slaves to kidnap her. And one day they did. She was kidnapped and forced to become a slave to a queen of a faraway land (someplace in Persia) and had to swallow her pride to become a helper. Though, I don’t think this is what the name is based on, because mainly it was a Greek masculine name and was already used. To me, Alexis always meant ‘luxury’ (lexis) and the ‘al’ could stand for ‘noble, royal.’

ANN:
I personally think that Ann is a name that is merely satisfactory, however, what comes out of my mind now has NOTHING to do with degrading America, I mean no harm or harrassment, so please don’t call me diabolic! I have to agree with fellow user gaelruadh19 about one person with a petulant, malevolent, nefarious mind- American controversial bestselling conservative author and constitutional attorney, Ann Coulter! She said simply gruesome things about Canada when former Liberal Prime Minister Paul Martin was elected on November 30th/2003! How America is protecting Canada with a nuclear shield, how she hates Canadians because of some of us speak French! She also said that one day America can turn around and crush them on Fox! Along with Mr.Carlson, they thought that every Canadian was too busy dog sledding to care about politics! How juvenile and ignorant was that? Then, I thought that I would never forgive her. Until of course, I learned she was conservative – just like my family and I. Now that we have Stephen Harper, she must have gotten over herself, which is a relief! I just wish that she would publically take her inexusable words back! Long live the name!
Ann Berlin also had this name. The first of all of king Henry’s wives. Exiled because she could not give him a heir.

Cindy, what a wonderful name. I don’t really need much to be reminded of my love, Cindy, because she is always present in my mind, but it’s always nice to read her name, hear it pronounced or to just think of it. Cin-dy. The sound of that name flows from my lips…and I smile.
Cindy: the one who is always as near to me as my heart, for she owns a piece of it. If I place my hand on my chest, close my eyes and think the name Cindy, I see her…and I smile.
– Anonymous User 7/29/2005
Fist of all Cindy is not related to Cynthia. Sindy is a common usage of the name Cindy in Great Britain. The name really does not have a relation with the name Cynthia. It is common error given by Cynthias who prefer to be called Cindy. The name Cindy it comes from the word “Cinder” wich means ashes. An example of this application is Cindyrella, called that way because she was used to be filled with ash for sleeping by the fireplace. Therefore Cindy, I like to say means “who comes from the ashes”.

My name is Heather, and I hate it. Trust me parents out there reading this, as a teenager of current, you honestly wouldn’t want to name your child Heather. Not only is it associated with snooby people, it is also has an entire list of words that people rhyme it with, It gets annoying quikly. Especially if you get called “Heather feather” or have ridiculous rap-type sentences made about you. “Her name is Heather, it ryhmes with feather, she wears black leather!” Uggghhh. Or, you could always stick with this name and make sure you raise a dumb, practically illiterate child so that they never understand anything in this place we call the world and are seen as the stereotypical moron that she will automatically be deemed!
