I was at school in the UK with two Beverly's. It was a normal name in the 60's :)

Yeah - but Beverly isn't the one that everyone's pointing out and saying "Please don't!" to.

ah, ok...I got the impression from the secret that naming your child Beverly was as odd as naming them Lwaxana.

Look, older generations had different popular names. I have two great-great-grandmothers (or something thereabouts) who were named Alma and Arka--they got those names from a river on the Crimean peninsula (though God knows how this happened; none of my family is even remotely from that part of the world and as far as I know have never been there), and she was named around the time of the Crimean War (apparently this was a fad back then...it would be like naming your kid Basra). My other ancestress was named on account of the fact that she was born in ARKAnsas. So people can get very dated or specific names that either sound old or don't make any sense after a while.

Lwaxana is a name off a tv show and more like something you can name your dog. Not a person. Name them Ana or Xana or something close if you must, but the whole thing is just...not attractive. Other people will not have the same connotations you will (I, for one, don't know who this character is and my immediate reaction to it is "ew, dumb science fiction name and idiot parents naming their poor innocent kids Sephiroth"), and that kid is going to go through hell in middle school.
