"According to Disney, King Triton, ruler of the see in The Little Mermaid, is quite the naming buff (or maybe its his never-seen wife?). He has seven daughters, all with complex "A" names, ending of course in the main character Ariel. Her is some "under the sea" inspired names for you!"

" I've been debating whether to do Jinx as a name or not. Maybe it's just a little bit too gimmicky as a Halloween name, not really usable as a baby name."
Clare's insight:
When I read the title, I though Jinx would be a male name - viewers of the soap opera 'Pobol y Cwm' will be familar with Jinx as the character played by Mark Flannagan (I'm fairly sure it's a nickname).
