7. Fit what?

There was a family at my high school named Mountain. Pathetically, they named their three kids "Rocky" "Candy" and "Stony". Of the three, Stony had the most fitting name. But I think he's got into rehab since.

4. I had a friend with the last name Saxon and she OF HER OWN FREE WILL married a guy with the name Cox

She didn't seem to appreciate my insistance on addressing her by her hyphenated name. Mrs Saxon-Cox.

As to your question, no one with any last name that is also a common noun should name their child "Anita."

William Ankers being an example.

On afterthought there's a few other first initials... a name beginning with T (T.Ankers) or a B (B.Ankers)
