Spread a Little on Me ( Stupid baby names)

Madison just makes me think of strippers and porn stars.

Makes me think of my ex-brother-in-law's black lab. A lot of these names would be fine for pets...

But I personally have friends who named their daughters Dylan and Rowen, cousins named Nissae (girl), Cassidy and Cody (boys), and at least one high school classmate who named her son Rocky.

[Paradox]

For the love of Pete, folks -- name your kids something decent, huh?

Now THIS is the rant of the day, simply AWESOME!

[blondatheart]

I named my daughter Dorothy Norene. I named her after my grandmother, who is 72. My daughter is 5 and just matches her name. I love traditional names. Not the made up crap!

I knew a Candi Kane, I kid you not.

So did I! You didn't grow up in Charlotte, Michigan, did you? We also had a Cricket Maatsch.

Misty Dawn

I might have known that mom (grin). She named her kids after the weather/surroundings the morning she thought she conceived. First was "Morning Ray," second "Misty Dawn."

Well, I only have two such stories, which hardly measure up to something like Shithead, but here goes anyway:

I know of a little girl named Brooke Lynne (no she doesn't have a brother named Bronx).

I also know of a guy whose last name is Assalone. All his life they've called him "Lemi." I kid you not: Lemi Assalone.

For girls -- Mavis, Lurleen, Doris, Margaret.

I thought that “Lurleen” was actually a title that a woman earned after her fourth divorce.

Sigh, I did just that with my baby boy. I combined and Irish first name (Gavin) with a Spanish last name... oh well, at least I spelled it right..

I had a physician named Carlos Schmidt. I just had to ask him about it. He said he was from Argentina but had German heritage. Argentina has some sort of law (or did at the time) that babies have to have Hispanic names.

You wouldn't believe all the "mixed" names here - lots of haoles give their kids Hawaiian names, plus there's a lot of "hapa" (mixed heritage). Pity the transcriptionist who has to type infant discharge summaries - probably 90% have very long Hawaiian middle names.

Naming kids is hard. You just never know the results.

My sister’s friend named her daughter Ariel about six months before “The Little Mermaid” was released.

Now she knows she looks like a dingbat who names her kids after trendy Disney characters.

It is the day of being pretentious. Madison, Tyler, Preston, Skylar and the list goes on. Ideally if it is a girl then to be pc you should give her a name that has been traditionally been used for a boy.

Sad, isn't it? Just recently at fireworks I met a little boy named "River". I couldn't resist and asked if the name had sentimental reasons. It did. The baby was conceived on/in a river. Clever huh? LOL! Poor kid.

I don't think Riley is THAT bad of a name - at least I haven't heart it 100,000,000 times

Riley is currently in the top two or three possible girl names for our current bun in the oven. I don’t care if this guy doesn’t like it. It will have a solidly Irish last name accompanying it, if we choose it.

[Petronski]

I don't want to leave out the little girl named 'Kendall.'

I'd love to ask the parents if they have a little boy named Pennzoil. Or twins named Amoco and Sunoco.

[Lazamataz]

My first name is Virginia and I got teased at school because the name somewhat resembles a certain body part on a woman....I'm not kidding...

Speaking of names that somewhat resemble a certain body part on a woman -- be thankful your name is not Dolores.

[Lazamataz]

current bun in the oven

Currentbun Intheoven.

I like it. Good name.

There is a urologist in Tucson, AZ with the name Dick Plummer.

In my home town, the director of the local funeral home was named “Angelo Mania.” I thought he should spell it “Angel-O-Mania!” like they were having a sale or something.

[nmh]

Same here. Pretencious names are silly.

[Wordsmith]

Saints and ancestors are the only acceptable names for white and black children

I agree, as does my wife (we're a white/black couple), although we also got a little creative. Our 3 boys all have classical names, mostly in honor of saints:

Lysander Gabriel (Lysander from Shakespeare, Greek for "liberator")

Dmitri Seraphim (Dmitri a Russian form of St. Demetrious of Greece, Seraphim after St. Seraphim of Sarov, in honor of the angels)

Aidan Youssou (Celtic St. Aidan of Lindisfarne, Youssou being a West African form of Yusef, or Joseph)

[exile]

I'm glad that didn't happen to me. If it did, I'd be named either "Chevy Nova" or "Pabst Blue Ribbon"

[Hermann the Cherusker]

How about the name of an Oriental fellow I went to Carnegie Mellon with - Won Suk Yoo.

[lawgirl]

I went to law school with a Noelle Holladay that was born on Christmas. Can you imagine?
