    I don't want to be offensive to anyone out there, but what is the geekiest name you have ever heard? Eugene takes the bill for me.

    Yeah, I once knew this kid named "Morningstar,"... :D

    There's a newscaster in Utah named 'Twinkle Chism."

    Other than that, nyone named after an obscure biblical figure kinda invites emotional problems, I'd say.

    Eugene is a Greek name. It means "politeness" and "gentleness". But the way it is pronounced in English is... strange.

    The strange Russian sound is still closer to the original Greek one ;)

    My middle name is Stewart. Yes, you read correct, Stewart. I have never met a cool Stewart in my whole entire life. When I was a kid there was a dude with the first name Stewart on my little league team and HE PISSED HIS PANTS! At like age ten. From that day on I knew I must hide this middle moniker tragedy that my father just HAD to pass on to me.

    And oh...DONT'T NAME YOUR KIDS AFTER YOURSELVES!!!

    I am 23 and still referred to as Davey in my family. Being a junior sucks.

    Yes it has to be the one with the combination of "Stew" and "Wart". The combined geekiness of these two words leads to geekdom of unprecidented proportions...namely Stewart.

    Here's a few:

    Buford
    Sheldon (remember "When Harry Met Sally"?)
    Kermit
    Wallace
    Vern
    And, no disrespect to my beloved mother, but "Virginia" should be considered cruel and unusual punishment.

    I wish I were making this one up. but a family named Lear named their children:

    1. Crystal Shanda and

    2. King

    Justifiable homicides are born of such things...
