My kids were watching Disney channel yesterday and between shows they did a princess makeover for some kid that won it as a prize. Her name was Notlim. Notlim? Really? Milton, if spelled backward. Must be named after her dad or grandfather. Maybe?
Weird.

Have these people even read The Great Gatsby? "Hero" isn't the first word that comes to mind. My first thought as well. I doubt that any of them have ever read any Fitzgerald.

Hillary is Most Poisoned Baby Name in History
"The title for the most rapid case of name contamination had been held by Ebenezer and then Adolph, names that were shunned by parents after they became associated with Dickens's miserly banker and the Nazi dictator Hitler. But while Ebenezer and Adolph each took over 30 years to fall from the Top 1000 after they were negatively associated with their prominent name sakes, Hillary dropped off the charts in just 10 years, upsetting the prior records in less than 30% of the time. Besides this achievement, Hillary also set records for largest drop in a single year (295 places in 1994), two years (420 places in 1993-1994) and ten years (>864 from 1993 to 2002). These titles taken together constitute the grand slam of name poisoning."

I went to college with a girl who was born in 1964, and named Reagan (after Ronaldus Magnus), coming to age in the 80s. Perfect timing!In the 90s, I worked with a guy named Rex Rexilius.

It’s true and the mother got mad because the people at school couldn’t figure out how to pronounce it.

>>they need to cut out the weird spellings.<<
Plus you are sentencing your kid to a lifetime of either spelling it each and every time it comes up (”it is Beqkee” with a “q-e-e”) or just having it flat-out wrong.

Ha...I went on a week-long trip in a Winnebago with four guys, and three of us were named “Bob”...you can imagine how quickly we got fed up with that!
Also-if you ever go into the military, God help you if you have a bizarre name that requires lots of explaining for either meaning or spelling. There will likely be lots of time spent explaining things, and nobody wants to be the nail that is sticking up!
In those cases, the children would thank the parents later for naming them “Mark” or “Joseph”...:)

One of my relatives went to school with a girl named Velveeta. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?

In the 90s, I worked with a guy named Rex Rexilius.
I always wondered how males get those (women sometimes marry into it, like Luren Bush-Luren). I did work with a Michael Mike in CT in the '90s.

How annoying is it to hear a kid have to say in a bored (because she has said it a gazillion times) monotone something like “It’s ‘Kaylee’ with the ‘y’...”

I always get a kick out of George Foreman - all of his boys (4 or 5?) are named George. I’m not sure, but he may have a daughter named Georgina or Georgette or something.

I see your Female and raise you-
Agghanistan(from the local death notices)
Pa’jama-from a magazine article on a woman naming her baby by using ‘pajamas’ in a catalog-and-my favorite-
Toi’let-actually seen on a woman’s work name tag on a local bus.
Compared to those, Tanganika, Teriyaki and LaTwondashonda barely get noticed.

People might be more cautious when naming their children. Even though the thought of Nazi-inspired names are abhorrent to most of us - the seizure of children from their natural parents - because of their names - is chilling. Would this Government sponsored abduction apply if the kid was called Osama bin Laden??????????? http://www.newser.com/story/133758/adolf-hitlers-parents-lose-custody-of-newborn.html

5. 2012 will be the year of M names, Satran predicts. Examples: Maeve, Magdalena, Maisie, Marguerite, Marlo/Marlowe, May, Mila, Millie, and Minnie, and for boys, Magnus, Micah, Miller, Milo, Montgomery, Moses and MONICA! What about Mulva? (Oblique Seinfeld ref).

Kings and Queens never go out of style and never become too trendy either... Henry, Edward, Charles, Phillip, George, Catherine, Anne, Jane, Marie. That has been my strategy. I even had a dog named Louis :)

Of course not. The government gets to decide what is proper and what is taboo. Did you think it was 1798 or something?
