Ahahah, this list makes me laugh...reminded of every uncreative bully-taunt I might've heard uttered to a classmate in early grade school.

Also, I had to stop myself many times from adding homophones.

I got a lot of "Peg -- with the wooden leg. Har, har, har." It never, ever failed to amuse -- them! Small minds and all...

Do you think that someone with one of these names might get subtlely influenced by the name as to affect their personality? With 'peg', I think of climbing up pegs, or putting the correct pieces into holes.

Well, there is the famous case of the man with the car on his head, name of Jack.

Putting the correct pieces into (the correct) holes is almost always a good idea.

So, ptery, it's either Lance, Peg, Chip, Chuck, Stone, Rock, Bay, Buck, Max, Dash, Josh, Sally, Will, Mark, Jimmy, Rick, Wade, Sue, Gore, Pierce, Tab, or Ward?

Well, that narrows it down a bit. :-)

Bilby, glad you put Peter out there.

But isn't the name Derek? Or is it the sound that matters?

Whichbe had enough scruples not to add homophones.

I'm sure ptero is a Hunter. He has a nasty-looking beak.

Yes, it's true, I am a cruel and vicious hunter. Among my recent prey are several brownies and a Christopher Moore novel.

Why is it through all my years of child~bearing & heinous Naming books, I've never noticed the propensity to name offspring after crude acts of orifice accidents...
