Amen! what is wrong with interesting names.
Tuesday by the way is really a cute name.
People gave my daughter and her husband crap when they named their son Israel.

My daughter and her husband named their son Israel and people gave them cute baby clothes.

What is wrong with your friends? Babies make enough poop.

How about all the other days of the week? After all the name Tuesday is an mundane as Tuesday Weld or Apple Martin. The kid could just as well be called Wednesday Weld, Cutie Martin, Thursday Jones.

Personally, I do not care for cute names because they tend to not to age well. When I was in junior high I knew a set of twins named Button and Bobbin Johnson. Poor Bobbin Johnson I'm sure she loved her cute name. And Button Johnson probably changed her name as soon as she became an adult, unless she became an exotic dancer. Also in some parts of the country, "Johnson" is a cute name for a certain bit of the male anatomy.

As a teacher of thirty + years I suggest that parents save cute or bizarre names for middle names or nicknames only. My nickname is Mare (as in female horse) but I would hate to be stuck with it as my first name.
