Perhaps some biologists out there will agree that this is an unfortunate name.

You're just trying to get me to say "coxswain", aren't you?

Heh. I remember years ago when I was in private practice we had an old lady client named Fanny Barber. My boss and I always used to snigger when her name was mentioned.

To those of you in Murka, in the UK 'fanny' means, er, a lady's 'front bottom'.

Back in my old neighborhood, one of my friends had a dad named "H@rry B@ll"

and another friend had the name "Phil McCr@cken"

Fanny Barber is hilarious, and Phil McCr@cken I love very much, because I have to think a minute before the name wonderfulness hits me.
