Naming one's daughters is a delicate process. I would caution against the use of cursed designations.

That's funny, I would've thought you liked the name Clarice..
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Clarice can be her middle name.

I like "Clara". But I don't like kids, so if I ever get to wanting to change litter boxes and such, that will be my cat's name (if female. A male would be called Sagan).

My cat will be called Shotgun, but only because my future dog is going to be called Zombie.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

If I had a cat, I'd probably name it, "Number One."

We need to give out a "most likely not to win an AF Member award."
I've got to be in the running for one of them.

You've just got to stand out more, man. I mean: I haven't the foggiest as to who you are. I feel I should know you... but I don't.
A dance routine would be a good start.
