IO: Kids have shit names.

[powerhour24]

I haven't met too many people in real life with really weird names, but you hear about a lot of them on the internet... I think they're all from California.

My future son Lando will be the coolest kid in school.

vlad and Bonnie, when my Mum was pregnant with my younger sister, i was smitten with the name "Adelaide" after reading through mum's baby names book. no idea why.

i like the name Bruce, but yeah, it doesn't really fit a baby. so i guess the parents are forward thinking.

my name is Daniel. seriously, how awesome is that. you just can't go wrong with a name like Daniel.

my brother is Matthew and my sister Amy. great names.

i'm a huge fan of Jack... my middle name, Pa's nickname, if i have a boy he will be named Jack.

i don't like the name Ashley (unisex). at all.

 

[coolian2]

adelaide is a lovely girls name.

 

[bono_212]

i don't like the name Ashley (unisex). at all.

Something tells me this is personal

 

[cobl04]

it's not! this was no veiled swipe.

there's just so many boys and girls that i know/have met with the name, and its "unisexuality" has just completely turned me off the name.

 

[bono_212]

The boy version of the name is awful.


And I'm named after a guy named Ashley.


So I'm so torn.

There are a large number of people at my school with the name Daniel.

No doubt!

I'm not for weird names so much, but I'm not big on super-traditional either.
My niece and nephews all have very traditional Hebrew names (they're not Jewish however), and I feel like I'm listing books of the Old Testament or the characters from Children Of The Corn when I list them off.

Sophia ia a great name!

[corianderstem]

And I'm named after a guy named Ashley.

Ashley Wilkes?

 

[bono_212]

Ashley Wilkes?

Ding Ding!

 

[corianderstem]

That was a guess - I figured there were other male Ashley names I hadn't heard of, like maybe a family member or something.

 

[bono_212]

Mom was reading Gone with the Wind while she was pregnant with me. For the majority of my life I was bitter about being named after a guy, but now I'm thankful because it saved me from the name Summer Renee.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Well if she had named you Scarlett, you'd spend your life explaining that you weren't named after a song off some band's second album...

 

[bono_212]

two T's

 

[coolian2]

Well if she had named you Scarlett, you'd spend your life explaining that you weren't named after a song off some band's second album...

but it would have been a rather cool first and last name combination.

adelaide is a lovely girls name.

true, though perhaps i'm a bit jaded by hearing it in america when i'm sure the average mom had no idea where adelaide was.

or maybe i'd just put too much thought into that stuff. but if i named a kid after something, i'd find out its meaning first. not only to be educated about it, but to avoid any unintentional hilarity, like picking two names whose meanings contradict one another or something.

One of the members of the short-lived, reality show created boy band O-Town was named Ashley.

That's the only guy named Ashley that I can think of. I think it's a nice name for a girl, though.

Also, O-Town. Good lord. I don't even.

 

[powerhour24]

It's sad that that group was the first thing I thought of when people were talking about male Ashleys. .

[kramwest1]

I will admit, I like Zebulon as a middle name. (after Zebulon Pike)



(If you used Pike, people would think you are a Trekkie.)

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Ashley Cole is a soccer player for Chelsea...

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Ha, yeah, holy shit. I can't believe I made a post saying that I could only think of one male named Ashley.

Fuckin' Ashley Cole. I know that guy.

He used to be married to my favorite member of the (fucking incredible) pop band that you see in my Interference username.

Very long story short, he cheated on her. She divorced him. A-L-O-U-D.

[LuckyNumber7]

Haha there you go..

Maybe she realized his name was Ashley?

 

[bono_212]

That one guy in O-Town was named Ashley, wasn't he?

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Haha yeah look up... that's what GAF said earlier.

 

[bono_212]

No wonder that thought was floating through my head .

When I have kids, I'm gonna name them after pharmaceutical products for corporate sponsership-- so I can get royalties everytime I call my kids' names.

"Prozac, finish your veggies."
"Ritalin, go back and clean your mess."
"Haldol, stop playing War of Warcraft."
"Viagra, I'm confiscating your contraband porn."
"Celexa, don't be out too late."

I'll be set for life.
