Are you serious? Yes, I am serious :) Brian-ee, basically.

In Alaska a lot of people name their kids McKinley even for girls and Denali. It's like every 3rd or 4th family you meet atleast one of their kids has the name.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Isn't Denali a car?

[Chief Inspector Clouseau]

Bump for later

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

OK, Denali is a truck and an Alaskan National Park. Got it.

[knak]

Actually McKinley is also Denali. It's what the natives call it. It means the great one.

There is an actual gynocologist in Florida named Harry Bush.

You're going to name your daughter Echo Francis and you're calling Madison pretentious?!!?!? LOL!

Met a girl when I was in college in the mid 1960's whose real name was "Smoky Glass". It started a long time ago, she had to have been given her name in the late 1940's.

Rule #1 for baby naming:

How does it sound shouted out the back door fifty times? Good? Bad? WEIRD? Choose one, because you'll be doing exactly that for years to come.

Rule #2 for baby naming:

Can relatives/teachers/friends figure out how to PRONOUNCE the kid's name without coaching or a reference book? If not, think again.

Rule #3 for baby naming:

Does the name, along with the surname, sound awkward, suggestive, jokey, or trashy? You might want to reconsider subjecting your kid to the inevitable ridicule.

Rule #4 for baby naming:

Realize that some trendy names will be tomorrow's dated curiosities. Hazel? Born 1912. StarChild? Born 1972.

Still, sometimes kids overcome the stigma of a crummy name.
There's a successful doctor in a northern California town whose name is...

BREVATOR CREECH.


Ick.

You're going to name your daughter Echo Francis and you're calling Madison pretentious?!!?!? LOL!

"Echo" and "Frances" are the Christian names of my wife's mother and my own mother respectively. Thre's nothing pretentious about naming baby after Grandma, is there?

And "Madison" isn't a pretentious name. It's trendy, inane, stupid, and trashy, but it's not pretentious. There's nothing less pretentious than jumping on a bandwagon with all the other clowns.

It's a free country. Parents have the right to name their children any stupid name they want. Realize, however, that naming a child Belvedere Unlimited Sunkvist or Cody Cheyenne Canyon or Fargeaux Norff Da'Qeautah or Madison Badger Cheesehead means that other people are going to make fun of them their entire lives as a result. Freedom works both ways.

Why not give a kid a break by naming them after somebody great instead of a soap opera character?

- True Story

My best friend in Alabama works in a NICU (Neonatal ICU, for those who don't know) and had a new born come in who was 12 weeks premature. The parents named him Shithead, pronounced Shi-theed. Now, IMHO, that was just down right mean! Poor baby.

Belvedere Unlimited Sunkvist

Yikes! This does sound like a stripper.

Anyway, the WORST girl's name I have ever run across was the niece of someone I worked with over 20 years ago. The girl's name was HARLA. I kid you not. Another girl I worked with said to me, "Harla, isn't that a pretty name?" I looked at her in disbelief and said, "No, that is a perfectly awful name to give a little girl." At first, she looked at me like she couldn't understand why I had said that, but I think it slowly began to sink in.

My wife is a 5th grade teacher. One of her students had a last name of Daniels..... First name was of course Jack.

[LibertarianLiz]

Makes me think of my ex-brother-in-law's black lab

When I was pregnant with my second daughter, my late mother-in-law made it a point to phone me (something she never did) and suggest how pretty the name Chelsea was. I hated that name anyway; but, the kicker was that the poodle next door was named Chelsea. Eeks. We ended up naming her Kerry Allison.
