That won't necessarily kill the image of the kid behind the name. I know a boy named Huber (even worse than Hubert, IMO) who's done just fine, name be damned. He's also an utter redneck, but that's really not the point, heh.Array

Hmm, you're perhaps right :-) I just envision a new kid named Humbert coming into my (relatively nice, suburban) high school, and I just know his name would've had us in stitches. Once they knew him as a person, yes, people would've got over it. But better to give the kid an easy ride from the get-go by avoiding such names, imo._____________________________________________________________________"There are few more distressing sights than that
