Help[Opinions] Slater
I just remembered that I went to a young people's group one summer and a girl there told me that she decided what she would want to change her name to. I think her name was Emily or Elizabeth or something like that. Anyway, she said she would want to be called Slater and that it was the coolest name there is. Hmm... WDYT?

Slaters are a type of bug that live in Aussie gardens.

It's like 80s pop culture in capsule form.
I dislike it. My first association is with AC Slater of Saved By The Bell. For a visual (because in this case, a picture says it all), see here: http://diminishingreturns.net/images/blog/06fall/mario_lopez_dancing_saved.jpg
My second association is with Christian Slater, the actor who put on a Jack Nicholson voice for the black comedy Heathers, in which he convinces Winona Ryder to help him kill everyone popular in their high school and make the deaths look like suicides. The movie is a good one, and Christian Slater is kind of a babe (ignoring all the drugs and icky RL stuff), but he plays a creeeeepy character. You can't really tell how skeeve he is in this picture, but I figured I ought to include one anyway: http://members.tripod.com/~heathersfilm/heathers.jpg
So, yeah. I don't like Slater, and I like it even less for a girl.

I think as long as she's willing deal with being called Slater, then that's her choice. However, I think Slater is far, far from the coolest name there is. So far in fact, that it may be the complete opposite of the coolest name there is.
