You might like the names chosen by a earlier prominent member of Texas society. Mr. Hogg named his two daughters Ima and Ura. His family was sufficiently prominent that nobody made fun of the girls.

Now days, he'd be called a grunting, snorting, male chauvinist pig by some feminazi.

Hardly any parents would do that to their child, not just feminists.

Contrary to urban myth, Ima Hogg, the great philanthropist in Houston, never had a sister named Ura - it's said that the story of the two names was started by detractors of her father, the Governor. I even showed the proof of this to a friend who was very disappointed - her father claimed to have gone to school with them both (a little tough since Ima was born in the 1880's).
