" *disclaimer, if you or your kid's name gets mentioned, nothing personal."

That's the problem isn't it

How is someones name not personal?

One man's trash...

So, you got any, or what?

I'm not a big fan of imaginative spelling like Steven, Steavin. Or Michael, Mikkil. Arlene, Rlene. It's fine when it's a traditional or cultural spelling, but when someone gets all "creative" I get a headache. (Of course, there's also the misspellings -- whether Dad has no clue, or the admin goes wingnut when inputting the info)

My wife is on a forum for preggos, and some of these people come up with the craziest names. They say that they want their kid's name to be 100% unique, so they come up some some really stupid spellings and such.

Here's an example I just had to save:


Since about week 14 i fell inlove with the name Jackson. Im not a person who likes the spelling how everyone does it, so i changed it...to Jaxon. I was so sure it was a boy. Well i was wrong obviously haha..... i couldn't bare to wait for a boy to use Jaxon. So, i changed it again... to Jaxyn. Im totally in love with it. I went on google and all sorts of sites for atleast a half an hour, i've found ONE person with the same name. I am thinking its pretty unique lol. Has anyone heard of really unique names? Reply:

I really like Jaxyn! the Y really makes it feminine!

A friend of ours named her kid Amiel, because it was a mix of Amanda and Daniel. His middle name is Alexzander, "so he could go by 'Zander' if he wanted".


Pat.

haha, my name's Patrick (and frequently go by Pat).

We have a winner. </thread>

I blame soap operas.

Heard of a kid named ****head, pronounced "shih-THEAD".

I was never a big fan of my name.

Darwin.

My middle name, Dale... Probably not bad, but I always think of Dale Rogers, so a women's name. Also there was a commercial when I was in high school for something where some kid comes up under a woman in a pool and get all embarrased and says, "Mrs. ___ I thought yoou were Dale." Another reference to a woman. Therefore, I never switched to using my middle name.

Also, I didn't feel like going by my initials sounded good either, some other Darwins I have met have gone by their initials, DA or DJ... DD sounds like a girl's name too... So, I was stuck.

I guess I could have done what several people do anyway before I correct them and go by my last name, but frankly, I really disliked my stepfather, and he often went by his last name... so that one was out the door...

So, I am Darwin, the lesser of the evils, and it is not as bad as an adult as it was as a child and teen. Adults are less cruel (at least about names). ;)

Mike. God I hate that name.

It might have something to do with the ********** who stole my first girlfriend.

The worst I heard for someone else...

My ex-wife volunteered at the school, and there was a set of twins in the school. One was named somewhat normally, the other not so much...

Norman and Danorman, pronounced Duh-Norman.

Mike. God I hate that name.

It might have something to do with the ********** who stole my first girlfriend.

Seems like a strange avocation for one who steals others loves.

Tarck, Truth, Justice, Prosper (the kid I knew with this name was everything BUT that), Princess, Duchess, April, August, Moon Unit, and Dr. Creflo A. Dollar.

One of my middle names is Clapp.
I win.

Steal??

I don't mean to be an a**, but people don't "steal" girlfriends/boyfriends; they exploit flaws and capitalize on them. Something must've been wrong with the relationship or the girlfriend...I almost did it, and I've almost had it done to, and the reasons in both cases were similar, but related...

one of ? How many do you have?

Can you beat seven?
(that's how many I have :D)

Hope the one before Clapp isn't "The".

No way, dude. He just up an' stoled her. The rest of 2nd grade was a living hell.

Four all total. I'm named after my maternal grandfather, I have his entire name with my father's last name tacked on the end.

My last name can be translated as maggot too.

I sense a failure in the word filter system, MISTER SCOTT!

my gripe is when people name their kids after brand names... they're horrid.
what's wrong with generic names and why must parents come up with names that are obviously based off of brand names with a little personal fling?

lexus + alex = alexxus
chanel + Chantal = chantel
Nike = Nike
Porsche = porsha
etc.

:D Elementary school; the breeding ground for our *first* set of mistakes!

Dammit Jim...she's old and getting tired. I'm doin the best I can, but she's practically held together with rubber bands as it is.

I hate the somewhat recent trend of giving your kids the names of medieval/old timey professions.

Cooper
Fletcher
Archer
Mason

Seamus
Woody (friend of a friend had this name)

Dick

At an old job, someone had the last name Wiwi. Pronounced like weewee. Good thing he was a law enforcement captain.

Captain Wiwi.

I'm with ya, but conversely, could you really get away with naming your kid after a generic product, ala "can o corn" or "rice cereal". Hi, this is my daughter, "Female human".

Funny coincidence: I was chasing this woman some time ago named Mercedes. This is normally a Spanish name, but she was actually named after the damned auto manufacturer (one of her sisters was named using similar thinking...). Hence, her name was NOT pronounced Mercédes (me-rr-ce-des); it was pronounced (mer-SAY-dees). It was so weird hearing her say it that way. Oh well.

But at least it doesn't have Termite embedded in it. :p

Okay got a joke...(I'm Filipino so keep that in mind)

A couple is having a twins and they haven't figured out any names yet. As the due date gets closer and closer the doctor tells them that it often happens where parents aren't sure of what to name their kids and not to really worry about it, as long as everything goes smoothly to not worry. While the husband is at work, his wife goes into labor. No one is around who can take her to the hospital except the husband's uncle, visiting from the Philippines ... a bit of a character always laughing and telling jokes. When the husband finally makes it to the hospital his wife has had the babies, a boy and a girl. He finds his wife in the recovery room and the babies in the nursery. His uncle comes up behind him, slaps him on the back, sticks a cigar in his shirt pocket.

Uncle: "Okay, daddy! I took care of ebrything...your wife is resting, the kids have been named, the birth certificates are coming soon! Relax!"

Husband: "Wait a minute, ninong (uncle/godfather)! YOU named the kids?!"

Uncle: "Of course, the kids need names!"

Husband: "You didn't name them Bong-bong or Apple or anything did you?"

Uncle: "Of course not!"

Husband: "Well, what did you name them?"

Uncle: "Your daughter, I named her Denice."

Husband: "Oh, okay, that's not bad...I like that."

Uncle: "Good, because your son, I named him Denephew."

:D

Scott really sucks big time.

I would think common names would be better these days. More 'net anonymity.

Dick

My brother's name is Dick. Years ago he was in the service and at his promotion to Major ceremony, he said

"The Air Force has decided that they need one more Major Dick"

It brought down the house.

There is a Major Richard Dick Winters

Speaking of Filipino names that suck...

Jhun, Khat, Jhon, Bhong...basically adding an h where there shouldn't be one. Plus, if the parents want their kids' names to sound totally suckalicious, they can repeat them! Jhun-Jhun! Khat-Khat! Jhon-Jhon!-Bhong-Bhong! And so on and so forth.

I had a friend who was unlucky enough to be named Khatrina...or Khat-Khat. Yeccccch.

Hoover.


That name really sucks.

Logan

That's my middle name, and I've never cared for it. Now it's become "trendy" I guess, and that annoys me. :lol:

Worked with a Marine pilot named Major Rash, but he was such a jerk we called him staff infection. The whole air dept. did. :)

I really don't like my middle name.

Dwayne, just sucks.
