Excellent, thank you. =) I know a scant few of those from various celebrities and musicians, but most are new.

(I've given up on updating the first post because it's so far away)

Are you still doing this? And are you only looking for English names? I could list plenty of Finnish ones if you're interested.

Does Josh count? It's short for Joshua...
And then there's Nils, like SGM.
But technically, couldn't a parent name their child anything they wanted? Therefore, Here or Face or Book would be names, too.

Nial is an original Irish/Gaelic name and is not a derivative of Neil
Dunc is the diminutive for Duncan
Peta is of Greek origin and is the female form of Peter

I plan to use these for a few word games I'm designing to help myself become better at programming...

I can use a lot of what you submitted, although a few (nial, dunc, peta) seem like modified versions of better-known names - are they regional?

As is common, since I have two young kids, I was distracted when writing it, posted hurriedly as I was being called away, and wasn't nearly happy with the quality of the post.  Rather than edit later, I decided to delete instead, as I didn't know when I could get back to it.  Also, I thought my very little joke poorly puerile, and a lame attempt at referencing (god knows that even what I make what I consider to be somewhat decent attempts at humour, I elicit groans, or embarrassed silence, so I'm a little self-conscious there when there is anything in a post of mine that resembles an attempt at humour.  I wish one could order something akin to Viagra for a limp funny bone).

How about Shel (as in Shel Silverstein)?  One of my kids was reading "The Giving Tree" today and that one occured to me.

Good book by the way.  It'll make you phone your mother to see how she's doing...

Interesting.  Well, best of luck to you.  

BTW, Kaya is another one I've seen several little girls in the U.S. named.
