I was reading the obituary of an 80-year old man in my home town newspaper. His long deceased mother's first name was Dimple. I guess idiot names have been around a long time.
at first i thought you said first name. oh well, i have to use this anyway:
(wtf?)
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.

this thread with a reasonably liberal sprinkling of . . . midwives and maternity ward nurses should have a special *what were you thinking* stamp for the foreheads of the parents of some of these poor kids . . . Bruce's out there . . . clearly it is a name you need to grow into.
During my ridiculous number of trips to nepean hospital for 4 shitty pregnancies, I got to know a midwife there in the day stay unit and we had an awesome time over the years discussing the most shitful names the western suburbs could think of. Their worst recorded (they had a physical list!) was Poison Rose. we'd be in hysterics most days discussing names.
And all this said in the NICU was an innocent little baby called Kevin. KEVIN! Why? In 2010, why would you do this?
Fuck that.

What the fuck is wrong with the name Kevin?
omg yes. i've encountered so many little girls with names like that, named taylor (yeah i know that one's common as a first and last name but it's all i can think of so go with me on it, guys) or something. not to mention how many little girls in the south are named adelaide despite their parents probably couldn't name what country it's in, let alone finding it on a map. it should be a requirement if you're going to name your kid after a city: find it on a map.I'm with the group taht can't stand kids named after proper nouns, i.e., Brooklyn, Boston, etc. Or girls with surnames for their first name. You know there's at least one Muse fan out there who named their daughter Bellamy.

If I see another Sienna...and yeah, i'm not a fan of people who name their kids after famous people (sorry anyone who has). when it's a common name like john that's fine. but like your bellamy example is...yeah i don't like those kinds.
In his dick.
Unique is good, but there's a fine line.
Then there's all the cutsie names that drive me bonkers. Mackenzie, Mykayla, Skylar, which are just trendy now. Ugh. Don't parents understand that their adorable tots are going to grow up one day and need big-people names? I saw an example just the other day. A woman named Sparrow. Why?
