Maple: http://famouspoetsandpoems.com/poets/robert_frost/poems/731 Her teacher's certainty it must be Mabel Made Maple first take notice of her name. She asked her father and he told her, "Maple— Maple is right." "But teacher told the school There's no such name." "Teachers don't know as much As fathers about children, you tell teacher. You tell her that it's M-A-P-L-E. You ask her if she knows a maple tree. Well, you were named after a maple tree. Your mother named you. "There's no such name" sounds a lot like DCUM. |

Of course it's pronounced like the tree--unless the parents are total assholes, if you name your child after a tree, you should pronounce it like the tree. I think it's fine--people name their little girls after plants and trees and flowers all the time--and it's miles better than Brayden/Jaiden/Zaden. |

| Spent some time in Santa Fe, NM where a number of folks moved out west, "found" themselves, and adopted Indian names - one person I met took the name Cheyenne and there were others. Let your child make that decision later in life, but please don't bring her into the world this way. It's cruel. |

Those are the weird old hippies, not a baby who doesn't have a choice in picking a name. |
