just like raistlin, maharet carries certain baggage. better to not name your child after a book character, at least one with such a unique name (raistlin is a fantasy name, which are often cobbled together from random syllables, and maharet is one of anne rice's mangled names, like lestat.)

consider my friend cesare. that's a female name. i thought it was a very pretty name, then i saw 'the cabinet of dr. caligari.' cesare (male character) is a somnambulist who commits murder at the order of his master. the next time i saw my friend cesare, i asked her where her name came from. she said it's the name of a (female) historical romance novel character.
