My favourite section would have to be the informative and fun series of lists which includes; Powerful names, names for athletes, daredevils, achievers, that get shortened, that make kids feel weird, smart kids, vegetarians, soap opera stars, future truck drivers, cops, gymnasts TV anchors, chefs, country & western singers, the strangest, most exotic, hippie sounding and biblical.
