Pish - Azaria Chamberlain is a baby who was with her family camping & got taken away by a dingo. Over the years there was so much controversy. Alot of people didn't believe her poor mum. They only ever found part of her clothing.
It was so sad. Nothing has been proven either way to this day. It was a very famouse case throughout Australia. I remember alot of it.
The story behind the name Pish (if you're interested)...
Azaria Chamberlain was 9 weeks old & camping with her family at Ayers Rock in 1980. Basically she disappeared & her parents claimed that she was taken by a dingo. Her clothes & nappy were found bloody a bit of a distance away, but she was never found. Her mother ended up accused & went to gaol because of it. I think she was released early. Basically no-one really knows if it really was a dingo or a person that killed her. It went on for years & years, with her parents maintaining it was a dingo, but nothing was ever really proven.
sorry just read on and realised what name you're talking about
Azaria is a beautiful name; but i'm not too sure that i would use it because of Azaria Chamberlain. But with that said, i knew the name "azaria", and couldn't put my finger on who it refered to until i read further on, haha. I would be worried that the people who do remember the accident, would constantly make the "dingo got my baby" comment when she was around - which would send me crazy!! BUT mind you - my family is VERY country and slightly ... 'redneck', hahaha So they'd have a field day with it
Good luck with your decision, and remember it is YOUR decision. It is a beautiful name - i agree with you there!
Tellytubby, my friends would be the same, when I mentioned it years ago, I got all the "dingo got my baaaaybeeee" comments. Gotta love Meryl Streep in the movie
