Nefertiti, Norberta, Odalisa, and Ooana

Ugh. This thing just restarted AGAIN! Good thing I wasn't typing out a list of tags in the tags field!

This is from What Not to Name Your Baby by Joe Borgenicht.

N

Nafeteria: A place where you pick out various food items set forth in a long display. Oh, wait.

Natalie: You take the good, you take the bad. You take them both, and then you have the fattest girl at school.

Nauvoo: A town in Illinois unfriendly to religious pioneers.

Nebula: A grouping of distant stars, but also a big gassy area in the sky. Probably best avoided.

Nefertiti: An Egyptian queen who looked hot, was bald, and married her brother.

Nevada: A state best known for its sagebrush, gambling, and legal prostitution!

Nike: Greek goddess of victory. Also, inevitably... a brand of running shoe, golf ball, and overpriced clothing.

Norberta: By putting Norbert in the feminine form, it doesn't make it better. Not at all.


O

Octavia: The eighth of something. If she is your eighth child, you should stick with something simple like Jane or Ann, because you're going to forget them.

Odalisa: The ugly cousin of da Vinci's well-known subject.

Olive: A savory fruit of the genus Olea. It is common to place your fingertips inside the black ones, and to submerge the green ones in a mixture of gin and vermouth.

Olivia: One who wants to get active, or physical, most frequently while wearing Lycra or vinyl.

Ooana: Surely to be shortened to Ana, the only time she will hear her full name is at the height of her partners' pleasure.
