    I knew one elderly JW woman who's name was "Resurrection". I can't imagine going through life with a name like that. There was another couple in my hall who named their daughter "Paradise", "Pary" for short. She was a terror, and I thought "Armageddon" would be a more appropriate name for her.

    Lameh sounds like a strange name out of the stone age, out of prehistory. Also Salome though it means peace it has bad connotations due to the beheading of John the Baptist, one of my closest friend's wife is called Salome.
