I actually argued for quite some time with my first wife, trying to talk her into letting me use "america" for our son's middle name.In the end, she made me choose between keeping the middle name or the one I picked as his first name. Eventually I relented, and we went with Alexander for his middle name. Still, to the best of my knowledge, he's the only Euripides growing up in america today, although if there are any others we'd love to hear from ya.
Oh, the book...it's one of those I have read several times over the years.
