(ie. Dexter tends to be nerdy, etc.) The problem with unique names is it makes it impossible to find those little personalized lisence plates or pencils for your kids. (my children are named Tobias and Random) Also, WRT the whole family line issue, my dad was adopted. So while I still feel a connection to my last name, I am not really, technically a Renfer. - Daniel E.
