Nik Nax

Splendidly barbed (and informative) broadside from my favourite combative correspondent e-meritus, "Demonessa".

She rightly takes me to task for my feigned - and not a little offensive - bafflement over some of those dentistry-defying nomenclatures out there, for me defined by 'Doleezza Rice's firebrand handle.

Nice little Slate piece on the whole subject, silencing further oafish musings by the likes of me.

Chix nicks

Blokes

Much more promising

• Trevon
• Reginald (and if *that* passes muster with the homies, they should check out that ghetto li'l handbook, Burke's Peerage)
• The gladiatorial resonance of 'Demetrius' - wonderful! Kennedy's Latin Primer is a fund of just such cool names.
• But where's my fave curio hybrid - 'Antwone'?
• How about the menace and intrigue of 'De'Ath'?

Excellent link. Great fun.
