Fawna,
The first time that I saw it, I did not think risque!  But it did  
sound strange.  I associated it with the Flower Child of the 70's.   
And even though there may have been some unfavorable connotations to  
Flower Child, I never thought of it in that way.  I just cannot see a  
person in a business suit or even a woman at home taking care of  
children with a name like Fawna.  I expected you to be out on the  
streets selling your wares or your "ideas" to the public.

Now, I really like the name.  And to see Shirley, which I have been  
called often- even by one of my principals at school, looked very  
strange.  It didn't seem like you.

Thanks for the explanation.  ; )
