Parents Freedom and Paul Eubanks welcomed baby Eclipse to the world at 8:04 a.m. at Greenville Memorial Hospital in South Carolina. The healthy baby entered the world weighing 6 pounds, 3 ounces and measuring 19 inches in length.
The decision to legally name her Eclipse was done at the last minute, according to the hospital.

“We’re probably going to call her Clipsey,” Freedom said.

Was it “Dweezel”?
My dad kicked my @$$ when I taped up that poster. But it was worth it.

"...We are probably going to call her Clipsey..."
I Hong Kong middle school kids in public school get to pick their own English class.Of course a 10 year-old wants to be unique and different so I’ve met students with names like, Corn Flakes, Malaria, Ice Cream and Chevrolet (She had a sister named Mercedes).
The worst however, was a name given by the parents whose last name was Tin. Their daughter was really named Co-Co so Co-Co Tin.
In the time I taught in Hong Kong I bet I met half a dozen boys named Ivan Ho. There were also a fair number boys named, Tiger, Cash, Wealth, Prosperity. Not to mention rather odd European names like Wolfgang Amadeus Chan.
Heidi Ho attended college in MA.

I recently read a book about young people (20 to 30 years old). They had English names like Snail, Lucifer, Mia, and Fred. Fred was a girl: the name had to do with classical music composers.

Is the middle name Solyndra?
Then I should haved been named: Damn Transformer
Clipsy turns to Clitty very easily
so is eclipse
Eclipse sounds like the name of an online barber shop.
at my daughters work site there are three alexanders. Al, Alex and Xander to differenctiate
better than Co-Co Puff
Had a friend with 13 children who had named a lovely oldest daughter named Hope. She told me that she wished she had taken time to learn names better....Hope: something wished for but never obtained.
Not a surprise. In spite of my experiences of “Which Cindy?” I am nonetheless grateful not to have been named Eclipse or Grayson or (my dad’s choice) Mary Lou.
At least it’s not Brittany or Heather... yawn...
I knew another set of idiot parents who named their daughter Altair after the hobby computer in the seventies. I’ve always wondered if their daughter just up and killed her parents.
Like, you’d look better after undergoing a similar ordeal, eh?
Or Rin Tin ..... Tin
