The Anchor Rule

There are names that are so out-there that people find thier status as a real name questionable. There are names so well-known that thier use is sometimes a dissapointment to others the name it is uttered. Put them together and you just might have the perfect name.I call this The Anchor Rule in naming:

If one name is normal, it gains improvement from an abnormal name and vice versa.

Why don't we take this rule to practice. Let's use some names that are fairly unique:

Snow
Keziah
Zea
Amity
Twila
Pepper

and pair them with very normal* names:
Elizabeth
Mary
Lauren
Catherine
Isabella
Mia


now let's put them together:

Elizabeth Snow
Keziah Mary
Zea Lauren
Amity Isabella
Mia Pepper
Twila Catherine

I am pulling these names out of my butt, and I'm already kind of liking these combinations.I challenge you to give this a shot by making a list of strange and normal names. You'll be surprised what will come out of it.
