I guess that beats the 0 generations here. Interestingly, in urban America lately thev'e been doing this by *blending* the first names of samed-sex grandparents on either parent's side. For instance, a girl who has grandmothers named Wanda and Latisha might be named "Latwanda". After a few generations of this you get some pretty odd-looking names. :-) --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
