Dear Swistle, thank you so much!
After gently suggesting some of the names you listed to my SIL she fell in love a pair of them, therefore putting the much celebrated kibosh on Felony Fever! (and yes, that REALLY WAS the name they had picked out for the daughter, no joke. 2 years ago my brother's best friend named his little girl Lethal Cashmere, nickname Cash. My Bro thought it was, quote, "genius" & I think he wanted to match his friend in the crazy/weird name category)
Anyway, SIL gave birth yesterday to a perfectly healthy, beautiful baby girl. Her name? Thanks to Swistle it's Verity Clarity Vice (Bro wouldn't give up the Vice part even though SIL finally put her foot down about the first two names)! While still not my cup of tea when it comes to baby names, it's a million trillion times better than Felony Fever!
So thank you Swistle, you saved my poor sweet niece from a real horror of a name!
Gift ideas for an 8-year-old, part 2 of 2

Last week I talked about the gifts we were getting/considering for Edward,
who is turning 8 next month. This week it’s Elizabeth’s turn: not “girl
gifts,” ...

Verity Clarity? I actually like both of them although maybe not together? However after the whole Felony thing I am ALL FOR Verity Clarity!!
Swistle is a hero!!!!! Saving children one name at a time!!
Yikers.
Swistle saves the day again! Is there nothing she can't do??
Hmm not too sure about Verity Clarity Vice. This might seem weird but the rhythm of it makes me think of, 'Bippity Boppity Boo!'. But it sure does beat Felony Fever Vice!
at least she has super cute nickname options..Claire Clara
I agree with previous commenters. Verity Clarity Vice would be a cringe-inducing combination... but when you know that it has replaced Felony Fever, it starts to sound pretty good!
That little girl will never know how much she owes you, Swistle.
I agree Verity Clarity Vice is not my favorite combination, the name Verity has been at the top of my list since my wedding. The woman who married us is named Verity and I really respect her.
yay!
Verity Clarity Vice is funny and singsongy...but Verity (which is probably what the baby will be called most of the time) is OUTSTANDING...and much better than Felony. Swistle - you are a genius!
Obviously "Verity" is a MUCH better name than "Felony", but the whole "Verity Clarity" thing...eh. At least the baby doesn't have "Fever" anywhere in her name.
Also: "Lethal Cashmere?" WHERE are the normal people in these scenarios? :)
20 bucks says Lethal Chasmere grows up to marry Pilot Inspektor Lee.

I just have to say, I L-O-V-E Verity, after reading that post. It was truly a name intervention! And I think Swistle should take a victory jog around the block...or, maybe bake a batch of cookies to celebrate!
