In a magazine I bought today, there's a letter from a woman who named her daughter Ikea. Yes, as in the funiture. She's fully aware of the place, and, in fact, was inspired by the shop. She claims that, although it went against her ex-boyfriend's and her mother's wishes, she chose it because it sounded nice. She admits to getting funny looks when she calls her daughter's name.

I'll admit, Ikea does sound nice. However, I don't really think that's enough of an excuse if the name you choose is already well known and strongly associated with something in real life. Phonetically, I love the sound of "Lecherous", but it doesn't mean I'm going to bestow it on my first-born.
