something cool like Hurley... your child won't be teased

"I don't know, Hurl, you're looking kinda queasy! sremoved*-sremoved-s*removed** ... Don't you want to... Hahahaimsofunny"

I've come to the conclusion kids are going to make fun, and though it's worth being a bit careful over a teaseable name, more important to help your child carry their name with confidence and comfort them when they're hurt.
