Title: Sad SAD baby names.
Post by: GtoRA2 on October 06, 2003, 01:55:38 PM: Link to the page of names..... Names that will haunt the poor kids that got stuck with them... (http://www.notwithoutmyhandbag.com/babynames/1.html)

My 3 year old's name is Charles d'Artagnan. (after the musketeer). The odd thing is that d'Artagnan (the real one)'s real name was Charles, and we did not know that when we named him, it just turned out that way. We call him d'Artagnan, too. I think this is a fun name.
Yeah. His real name. I'd love to hear the 3-year-old pronounce it, too.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i like Brendan. and for a girl - Egwene.
Called Egg-ween or "Ewwie" for the rest of her life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooklyn Makenzie or Alexia for a girl and Hunter Gage, Justus Brice, or Darian for a boy and... The name Jaden for a girl or boy
Child grows up to become character in Danielle Steele novel.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm having a girl...
For the first name I like Mercedes, Michaela, Marissa, Madison, and Makenzie For a middle name I like Alezae'(Alize) like the liquor.
Nothing like being named after a cheap mass market spritzer to define your personality.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We aren't having kids for another year or two, but we like Kellyna Nychole, Taryn Mykah and Mykenzie Kathryn for girls.
This woman was indicted under the Flagrant Over-Use of the Letters K and Y Act of 1983.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've suggested to my sister that she name her little girl to be - Manchester. She's not sure about it but she's considering. What do you think?
Clever. Like being named Pittsburg or Schenectady. Kid'll grow up to be beaten to death by Liverpool fans.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I once met a lady named Rodana. I think she runs a successful internet business.
In her spare time she destroys Tokyo.

Just some samples....

Do parents really name there kids this stuff? I got picked on for being a Jonathan.

I can image how bad Manchester or Egg-ween.

And I am not making this up.

Post by: Chairboy on October 06, 2003, 02:09:01 PM: My wife and I were going to name our next kid Tierney if it was a girl. It's a nice name, just a teensy bit irish. So we rolled it out to the family, and constantly found ourselves correcting them.

"No, Tear-knee, not tyranny!"

After a few months of that, we started looking again.

Post by: medicboy on October 06, 2003, 02:22:04 PM: I have a 16month old boy, name is Bodie. Got the name from the skier in the winter olympics from Norway. Both my family and my wife's family are from Norway. Only question I have is if we have a girl next my wife wants to name her Bliss, all I can think of is this girl all the guys knew in high school named "joy"... Not my daughter!!!!

Post by: GtoRA2 on October 06, 2003, 03:09:46 PM: How could any of these jokers have gone through school, yet still name their kids something like this? Do they not thing how it will be bad for their kids? Or where they all the popular yet dumb people who never got picked on?

Post by: midnight Target on October 06, 2003, 03:25:57 PM: My Granddaughter's name is Kairi. Pronounced Keye-ree. Her parents said they liked the name when they saw it on a video game. "A VIDEO GAME!!??" I yelled!

Then I thought, thats what these kids grew up with. I know lots of us named our kids after GI-joe and Johnny-7. So I told my daughter I was gonna have her name legally changed to "Lifesizebarbie".

I can hear it now.... Kairi has diahreeee! Kids can be so cruel. Luckily she is the most beautiful child ever born.

Post by: Corwin on October 06, 2003, 03:34:21 PM: My niece named her kid "Steel" after a restaurant/bar she and her buds liked to frequent. I teased my sister mercilessly telling her the kid was bound to wind up wearing leather pants and working as a hairdresser. "Hi my name is Thsteel and I'm going to be doing your perm today".

Poor kid.

We were messing with her head and told her we were naming one of our boys Evan only we were going to spell it "Eveign". She said she liked it and spoiled our fun :(

You got off light. My name is Sandy.

I know guys that call themselves Sandy, but their given name is often Alexander.

Somewhere along the line, most of my friends started calling me "Sandman". Hell, even my father calls me "Sandman" now.

Post by: GtoRA2 on October 06, 2003, 04:04:40 PM: Sandy...
I can see how that could be rough.

The thing is kids are brutal, they pick on anything that makes you stand out. Hell I got made fun of so much in second grade for having hairy legs I wore shorts only that ones time. I think the next time I wore shorts to school was 9th grade lol.

Having a really goofy name is going to be hell for some of these kids, and when amatoru jones, goes on a class killing spree no one is going to blame his parents for the lame name! :D

Post by: midnight Target on October 06, 2003, 04:18:43 PM: No worries SANDY. We would never tease you about your name SANDY. Everone here should be mature enough to figure out that SANDY is a guys name while SANDIE is a girls name. SANDY and SANDIE are way way different!

Post by: takeda on October 06, 2003, 04:30:07 PM: In my past job there was this single chick working in our office of 10. We acted like a bunch of zealous elder brothers screening all the eager solicitors showing up there seeking her for... powerful reasons (both 2 of them).

One of them seemed to be somewhat successful, and started calling her sometimes at the office, so we learned his first name was Elvis. Apparently his father was a big fan.

So, from there every day at 7:30 when he showed to pick her up, every pair of speakers at the office joined a cacophony of mixed tunes from the King himself... The guy stood there waiting with a very red face while she screamed at us.

Why should kids be supposed to pronounce their own name? If talking of themselves they should say "I".

Post by: kesolei on October 08, 2003, 03:19:38 PM: Lets see.. my name is Kaylan. None of my teachers through school could ever say it right, Kay-Lan. And I actually had someone sign my yearbook and right K-lan for my name because he couldn't spell it. Le-sigh. ;) For some reason they just couldn't get it.

Went to school with a girl named Sebeta (said like: Ze-beta (as in beta testing)). And there was another girl, Crystal Yonkers. I always felt bad for her.
