apeiron242: 4) Thou shalt not give girls a boy name, even if you give it a cute spelling. When a boy's name is used for a girl, it is no longer usable for boys: Dana, Ashleigh, Tracy and Stacy were all male names, forever made a gay joke by parents trying to be cute.

FYI Dana has been a female name for well over 1000 years in Germany.

Some people with unusual names do quite well.
Example:

I know a young woman named Gary. That's her real given name.

Can't wait to see some hillbilly couple name their kids Buck and Doe.

Driver: Some people with unusual names do quite well.
Example:

She had to be a good skier. Only choice.
"Excuse me, Peakaboo - can you find me....a new revenue stream?"

Need_MindBleach: you_idiot: You can name your kid whatever you want. Why does it have to be some name that someone else came up with 2000 years ago?

Because your kid's the one who ends up stuck with the retarded name, not you.

The vintage of a name is not a guarantee that it's a good name.

Ladies and Gentlement, straight from 1379, I give you Diot Coke! (new window)

You sir, are obviously not paying attention.

Invalid: he changed his own name as an adult.

Her last name is Cox, so it's ok.

AverageAmericanGuy: My next kid is going to be named Comment.

Time for dinner!

I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call him...
"Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me
and keeps typing.

"So, I'm Like!"

"Wow, so I'm All!"

/couldn't come up with "so I go"

In addition to being blocked, anybody who tries to choose a name like that for their kid should be required by law to have their own name permanently changed to "Inconsiderate Asshat". Your kid is a human being, not a vanity license plate.

Approves.

How long before she devours mankind?

Weigard: Approves.

I have a theory regarding professional athletes who have peculiar names. I believe having an odd name "toughens" them up. I am certain D'Brickashaw Montgomery Ferguson had his share of kids making fun of him. However, now that he is large and rich everyone will be naming their kids after him.

Which, in time, would make the name "D'Brickashaw" as common as "John" is now. So, I guess, my theory only works for a few generations until names that are now common become rare and Shaquiscious names become cromulent.

Or something. I'm still working on it.

Farker T: Until I was seven years old I thought my first name was "Dammit".

"Jesus Christ, SIT DOWN!"

We named them Walker and Texas Ranger!

Like's father, Lior, says he himself is not the biggest Facebook fan, with only some 120 friends on the social networking site.

I didn't know having 120 friends constitute an "only". I guess I must be a failure with less than half of that.

I'm old fashioned, I went with Seven for my first son.

Down the road, she can have a daughter of her own and name her after herself.

Like mother, Like daughter.

My wife's pregnant with a girl. Good for her, too. If it was a boy, we'd call him Gene Masseth whether she liked it or not.

True CSB: My maternal grandfather used his middle name and hated his first name so much he delayed enlisting in the military after the attack on Pearl Harbor long enough to have his name legally changed.

If I ever have a daughter, I'd like to name her Éowyn. It's a name I've had a distinct fondness for since long before the Lord of the Rings movies came out - in fact from before I'd ever read the books. I'm a huge history buff and just knew it as a lovely Old English name.

Of course, I'd actually pronounce it correctly. :)

(If I have a son, I'm thinking Ciaran, after a deceased friend.)

whatshisname: Lior and Vardit Adler

Maybe this kid is lucky she got away with "Like". Could have been named after a Star Trek alien like her parents.

Nonetheless, Like will grow up addled. After all, her parents, they're Adlers.

Yahoo Serious is introduced to Whoopie Goldberg: "Whoopie...Yahoo. Yahoo...Whoopie."

This also works with Lady Gaga and Guy Ritchie.

Or was Like Adler a boy, I forgot. Will grow up addled.

Ever seen these retarded things? I'm sure you have.



...so the other day, on the road, I saw these stickers again. But these had names underneath. One of the boys' name is Islam, the girl, Eternal.


WWWWWHHHHHYYYYYYYYY?!!?!?!?!?

Islam is a legit first name in some countries. But I doubt there's an excuse for "Eternal"...she's going straight to the big shiny pole on Career Day.

One night while channel hopping, I spotted a wonderful ghetto princess called 'Spechelle' (Special) on Pimp my Ride. She was special alright, in the olympic way.

Here in Ireland, we've a complete arse load of kids called Aaron. Kind of a running joke now when you meet someone to comment on how lazy their parents were, they bought the baby name book, opened up the first page, picked the first name, and that was that.

I'd name a kid "Meh."

I know a woman that had 4 girls and named them:
Treajure
T'liteacandle
Trinity7
Trueending

/not a lie
//I swear

We named out daughter Penelope. Not so out there as to be retarded, but not so common that there will be two or three other Penelopes in her classes.

I had what was considered a weird name growing up, so I know how it is.

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: I plan on giving mine generic placeholder numbers until I decide if I like them or not.


7!

I have a friend who works with an Emma Hor, Irish horsey, and Hairy Beaver
/not joke

Still calling my first kid Crunk

Please tell me she has been involuntarily sterilized.

Finally - a name I can use. Since my last name is Lee, my daughter will be called Like Lee *snicker*

You know that kid you knew in elementary who started going by their middle name because they had a weird first name?


Yeap.

Representative of Generation Y: One of the boys' name is Islam

How is that a worse name than Christian?

Actually more like naming him Christianity.
