    Question treasure

    Can "Treasure" be a woman's name? And if so, have you heard of someone with that name...

    Default Re: treasure

    I've heard it used as a term of endearment, like 'darling', but I haven't seen it as a name.

    Cool Re: treasure

    Damn! I wanted to use that name for a riddle. You know, a man is searching for the secret treasure in a cave. He finds the magical cave, but it can open only once. He says: "Open sesame!" The cave opens, and he sees TREASURE, but he quickly says: "Close sesame!" Why? The answer is, he saw his wife: her name is Treasure. But I guess that "Treasure" is a stupid name. Oh well...

    If he saw 'his treasure', it could be a term of endearment.
