Edward Blom, a Swedish gastronome/historian/media personality/etc, had a son recently. A while ago he revealed some of his favourite names for the baby:
Polyhymnia and Melkisedek (see
http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/melchizedek). His wife
Gunilla had vetoed those however, and now he's announced that the baby's name is
Melchior. Still unusual (the more common Swedish form is
Melker), but not quite as eccentric. :) Opinions?
Melkisedek/Melchizedek is a name I associate with a rat in A Little
Princess, because that's the only time I've seen it used. I think he's better off with
Melchior ... Both Melkisedek and
Polyhymnia are at least theoretically awesome though. :)
