Regrets? I've always believed that when some parents sobered up; they probably realized Shi 'thead was probably not a good choice.

I knew a black lady who had a set of twins and called them Orangejello and Lemonjello. No lie.

SNL “baby names” skit:

Husband: Uh.. listen.. that’s “Os-wee-pay”.

My middle name is "Hussein", and I don't think its anyone's business but my own. /Obama.

I know a Guy who was named Buck Jr. because his dad was a drunken egomaniac.

Just think how silly it will sound when retirement homes are full of women with names like ‘Bambi’ and ‘Brandi’. Parents really should pick a name that will wear well, not one that sounds cute pinned to a baby or toddler.

[Content Provider]

However, 57 percent of parents said their kids are not named after anyone or anything in particular.

In time, this may be viewed to be the most regrettable element to the story.

this thread is screaming your names....

[null and void]

The tribe has decided to keep the custom of naming babies after the very first thing the mother sees after giving birth.

*sigh* What is it now, Two Dogs F-ing???

[Gman]

The unwritten rule in our home is that our children’s names have to look good on a resume’. Their names are Elliott and Olivia. :)

I read a joke on FR awhile back:

A pregnant woman was in a car accident that left her in a coma. When she came to, she was told she had given birth to twins - one boy, one girl. The nurse told her that since she was in a coma, they asked the woman’s brother to name the babies.

“Oh no,” said the woman. “Bubba’s dumber than a box of rocks. He probably gave them really strange names. What did he name the baby girl?”

“Denise,” replied the nurse.

The woman was taken aback. “That’s a terrific name. Wow, maybe I underestimated good old Bubba. What did he name the boy?”

“Denephew.”

[Petronski]

Luckily, my wife and I agree that children’s names should come from (a) the Bible and/or (b) great literature.

That immediately rules out thinks like Chance and ShaQueenta.

[Alouette]

If “Sarah” is the most popular girl’s name, it may have something to do with my 5 granddaughters all named “Sarah”

Some Parents Regret Names Of Kids

Ya mean like Cher naming her lezbo daughter, Chastity? LOL!

[TheMom]

I know a young couple that just had a baby. They named him Vegas.

[SeaHawkFan]

Ginger Snapp is a real name.

[Tax-chick]

Not me. All eight Chickadees have names that would be perfect for a President of the United States. (Except for their Dad’s annoying last name ...)

[Larry Lucido]

“I think when you name a baby Jeeves; you’ve pretty much mapped out his future. Not much chance he’s gonna be a hitman. ‘Terribly sorry, sir, but I’m going to have to whack you.’”

[GSWarrior]

My name is Roland. I hated it I was a kid. But now I like it. My parents almost named me Louis.

[Wallace T.]

Didn’t the Catholic Church (and possibly the Eastern Orthodox churches and many Protestant denominations as well) require that children be baptized with the name of a saint or an Old Testament prophet or king like David or Solomon? If that was not the case, cultural norms certainly dictated the names of children at one time. Unfortunately, those norms are gone.
