"Oh, it's got cachet, baby!"
I'm watching that Seinfeld episode where George offers up "Seven" as a baby name and gets laughed at, and then somebody steals the name.
I don't know why people laugh when I tell them that "Celery" is a perfectly beautiful girl's name. Really--it's a nice name. Maybe if you spelled it wrong--Selery, or Celrey, or Celerie--people wouldn't even associate it with stalky green vegetables. I'm not really a fan of spelling names creatively, though. I mean, maybe I'd care if I had a common name--maybe it would allow me to feel more unique. Maybe I'd want it to be spelled Jonn or Jahn or Jhon so that I didn't feel like just another john. Maybe not. I get annoyed when people can't spell Fisher right, so I don't know what I'd do if there were 13 different ways to spell my first name.
Walter and Stanley are perfectly fine names, too.
