Aside from the absurdity of "OMG! SOMEBODY MIGHT STEAL MY NAME!!!" I have this to ask...
She named her daughter Sonnet? What was going through her head? She named the kid after a friggin' type of POEM. What's next, Limerick? Haiku? Five bucks says she can't quote from a single sonnet.
Sonnet.
Other names I object to, on principle:
Regan/Reagan: this either commemorates King Lear's ungrateful daughter, or one of the worst presidents we've ever had. I do not see the logic in giving this name to your little girl.
Dymphna: Yes, yes, patron saint of Belgium. Yes, yes, patron saint of the insane. Do you really want to give the "insane" name to a little girl?
Robert: This is my dad's name. I can't let anybody have this name, because if I ever have a little boy, that's what I'll call him. So don't steal it from me!
Honestly, why would you want to steal that name? It's not a name. It's a type of poem!
*sighs*
Of course, I think Magrat is perfectly fine, so maybe I'm not the best judge :)
