I tried, years before _UC_ came out, to get some friends to name their daughter Chlamydia. They didn't know what the word meant, but for some reason didn't trust my advice. Nor did they like Pudenda. I also tried to get my wife to agree to a heroic name for our son. In the tradition of Pericles and Sophocles, I present ... Testicles. No, she didn't go for it.

Similarly I preferred Falopia, and alas my wife was equally reticent. -Chuck -- http://www.quantumlinux.com Quantum Linux Laboratories, LLC.

One of the characters in Hercules Returns is called Labia, and lives in the town of Chlamydia. There are a number of other characters with similar names. Peter.
