IO: Kids have shit names.

[The Sad Punk]

You see kids called Cheyenne but none called Kickapoo or Potawatomi. How come?

 

[blueeyedgirl]

A girl at work went to visit a friend in hospital. Another patient had had a baby and called it (a girl I think):

Star Gazer.

Wow.

A man in Egypt named his daughter....Facebook. Yes, this is after the social network. Here's the story.


Technolog - Meet baby girl 'Facebook'

 

[bono_212]

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.

I am 100% no fucking joke, naming my first son after this sexy bastard

Spoiler

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

I once had a student whose first name was Ice and middle name was Cold. No joke. I now have his younger sister; her name is a completely normal Cynthia.

Does this mean I can call my kid Shoe Gazer?

Prick will probably end up liking screamcore or something in spite of it though.

Alright, that's fucking funny.

Was watching the news earlier and a teenage girl was briefly interviewed. Her name? Tishana or some shit. Looked very much a bogan, too.

My mom is an elementary school teacher. I'm looking at her class picture she got sent that includes everyones names. Here's a few:

Dante
Madisson
Amira
Dartanyon
Ace
Maximus
Melody

Maximus

FTW!!!




Maximus will grow up to be a shelver at the local library, but will dream of leading a slave revolt.

 

[kramwest1]

Ace

That reminds me...I do know a kid named Acer.

Depending on where you look it either means unity, sharp or maple tree in Latin.

I think the parents were going with the definition "one who aces."

 

[The_Pac_Mule]

My mom said that Ace has autism, which in his case makes the name more unfortunate. She said he sometimes gets picked on by the other kids for the combination of the name and the autism.

Or they were naming him after their price netbook.

Which would be awful, too, but I think he's like 10 or 11 yrs. old now.

That sucks!

Facebook, seriously?? Wow!

And Acer wasn't around? TRAVELMATE 721TX P2-333 6.0GB 64MB 14.1 TFT 24X WIN98 - Laptops - CNET Archive

No, no.
I should have said that they are relatively rural folk and probably didn't know what an internet was 10 years ago.

hahaha, then my suggestion stands, since Acer is...Acer XD

 

[feedthetree]

my friend named her daughter Skylan Icelle Snow.

Her reasoning: sky, ice... makes snow...

 

[LuckyNumber7]

That's almost as silly as someone I know who named their son Third because he was the third child.

Melody isn't too bad, have heard a few older people with it. Dante's ok if the kid's Italian... otherwise, no comment.

 

[clarityat3am]

I see crazy names all the time where I work. Two of my favorites: Tequila and Disneyanne.

I'm sure it's Disney-anne, but it would be funny to pronounce it DIS-ney-anne or DIS-ney-AN-ne.

SHIT NAME.

Showering at the YWCA today, dad walks in with his two young boys:

Cedar and Phoenix



Why?

 

[Butterscotch]

The lamest ones are the new names made up, or made up out of two other names, such as Jaelynn and Braedyn, Kelsynn and Daebron, and the trend of using apostrophe D' and a name rhyming with Asia such as D'yasia and R'yasia

 

[Butterscotch]

and it all has to be hell for the people who make those personalized pen and pencils and little kid license plates...

 

[kramwest1]

That is my next quest. I'm going to look at places that have those things and see if any crazy ones have made it yet, because that is the true measure of a name becoming mainstream.



I almost can't wait to go to the mall to see.
