Parents always think their babies are very special．They want others to （61）notice their children．For this reason，they sometimes give their children unusual （62）names．They may choose names such as Chelma，Ukiah，Brianna，or Elvira．There are some advantages to this practice．A child who is （63）given an uncommon name may feel special from childhood．（64）Also，sometimes we remember people with unusual names （65）better than we remember people with ordinary names．
（66）However，unusual names can cause problems．They can be hard for teachers and friends to pronounce．They can also be hard to spell，（67）and computers may automatically（自动地） change them．For example，Jule may become July．Some people may have a bad impression on an unusual name （68）before they even meet the person．（69）Worst of all，other children sometimes don't like kids with uncommon names．The message for parents is，"Think （70）twice before you give your child an unusual name．"
