Yes, it is REAL. My mother (who was a schoolteacher) once had a male student whose name was pronounced "Molly." She didn't make much of it until she found that he had a sister whose name was pronounced, "Fimolly." These names were spelled however, "Male" and "Female." (The current theory is that the mother of these two children named them off the wrist bracelet that the hospital put on.) -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner "The world is just a straight man for you sometimes"
