   I've worked with or around so many I can usually tell, even without   
   recognizing their meaning, although for common names, I usually do.   
   Baby girls are usually named after a flower or feminine quality, and boys are   
   usually named for some quality that would be considered fortuitous in their   
   future lives.   
   There are also several very common names that mean either super-communist, or   
   girl-communist.
