I once interviewed a young woman named LaTina.

My boss later asked me why I listed her origin, rather than her name.

I had to explain that LaTina WAS her name,

This has been on my short list of girl names for years now! Calliope is the muse of epic poetry.

I have a picture on my Facebook page that could prove it to you. They had a talent show at camp and it was in black and white. If I knew how to post those here, I would happily share. I couldn't believe my eyes at first, either.

I'm in western fairfax county.


I went to high school with a girl named Nazi (she pronounces it Nah-zee)

Also, I didn't know her personally, and she was in her twenties, not a child, but when I worked at a debt collection firm, I filed a lawsuit against a lady whose first name was Syphalis.


What was her background? Naz, Nazy, and Nazia, are common names from Iran to South Asia.

I went to college with a girl named Negir (pronounced Neh-gir). She was Iranian-American. For obvious reasons, she adopted an "American name" for occasional use.


It's been quite a while, and I don't remember her last name, but she was dark complected with black hair and could definitely have been from that area.

It's probably an abbreviated version of Nazzanine, common Persian name for girls.

Orangejello (twins) (pronounced orangelo)

Myself personally would have to be a childhood acquaintance named Kiwi.


No. Nobody believes this. Or, if they do, they shouldn't.
