Another reason to kill your TV.

Six boys were named "Cashmere.

I'd sue my parent to change my name if they named me that.

"Courvoisier."

Talk about "stump the teacher"

This has got to be one of the most disturbing articles ever posted. It reminds me of Hannity or Leno doing a 'man on the street' interview-- ignorance on parade.

The people who named their baby 'Del Monte' are allowed to vote! Gee, I wonder if think Dan Rather is telling the truth?

I wonder when the first chidren will be named "Big Mac" or the "Whopper"

Son: "What's your full name" ?

Velveeta, Dinty Moore, Nabisco ... I like it!

Cleveland Evans, a psychology professor at Nebraska's Bellevue University and a member of the American Name Society, studied Social Security records for the year 2000 and found that many children today are being named after consumer products.

Social Security??? I didn't know they even kept a publicly viewable list-of-citizens.

Soon the Jones' family will be naming their little boys Dow.

The matriarch of the Lynch family will be named Merrill.

And they'll go to school with best friends Miramax, Toyota and Mickeydees.

By the way: True story. My sister knew a family by the last name of Tissue. Now that's unfortunate enough. If you could think of the worst realistic name to give that male child, what would it be? Yes, believe it or not, in their eternal wisdom, they named their child Scott. Personally, I think it would make a Menendez brother out of me.

I guess Winchester, Remington, Colt, Glock, Springfield and Ruger are out because of the PC componet.

If I lived in New York, I'd name my son Nosmo King.

"I am Woman" Helen Reddy told the audience during a concert at SMU that she her son's middle name is Dallas. She said he was conceive in Dallas. Maybe these product tie-ins are an extention of that kind of thinking.

A friend of mine who used to work in a hospital told me he heard of a woman who named her daughter Placenta because she liked the way it sounded. Undoubtedly another democrat voter.

A friend of mine worked in the Birth Records department of the State a while back - she said you wouldn't believe the names. The best was Listerine, closely followed by Oral Blow! I think I would kill my parents for that...

I read this story to my children, Nike and Beemer, and they agreed that some of these names are pretty outrageous...

[Sender]

This is horrible. I'm glad people weren't doing this when my little Abercrombie was born!

[randog]

The trend I've noticed these days is to give your kid a last name as a first name--Garret, Connor, Mason, Taylor, etc. I guess it's better than the '80's when everyone was giving their kids names that started with 'J'.

Stupid Baby Names

A long thread, but worth the perusal....

There was a guy from the Philadelphia Eagles, a halfback (but he might have been a defensive back) named Siran Stacy. His mother named him after Saran Wrap, no joke...JFK

[M Kehoe]

Ok then, what about Dweezel or Moon Unit?
