"So Ray, let's look outside the box. What boy names would you pick today?"
(admittedly he'd stick with Chris and Kevin, but let's pretend he goes crazy. Yes I made him pick)
Flint Faries - Flint is from the English and means resembling the hard quartz; from the stream.
Rather cool, edgy. I like it
Flux Faries - Flux is from the English and means one who is constantly moving. Actually that fits Kevin - always on the go with projects. Or for Chris - he has truly moved a lot due to jobs.
As an added bonus - Ray picked Farrah for a girl. Gee, do you think he worshipped a Farrah Fawcett poster?
Farrah is from English/Arabic and means fair haired woman. Hello, Charlie's Angels.......
Thanks Ray Faries for participating in F day.

Scanned a few of your A-Z articles, then rushed out to see Cap'n America 2 last night so only returning now, Joanne. Interesting stuff how names change in popularity. We're adopting more US conventions in Europe, where you'll use names that were typically family names, as first names. Like Taylor or Tyler. I dunno if that's good or bad! :-) Re your grandfather, I love names like Elmer and Eldon and Sheldon. I love waspish names along with Greek/Russian/Iranian/whatever surnames too, or vice versa. Does it say on your blog where your family name comes from? It's an interesting one, alright! Best to you and good luck with the challenge.
