Annual Parade of Student Names (1 Viewer)

[kaa]

The Phantom Menace came out in 1999 so RudyStein still has to wait about 3-4 years to start running into kids with names like Anakin Walker Fuentes.

 

[gmbacm]

Abigailh (the "h" is silent)

WHY?

How about Allisonn? the lliso is sillent.

 

[KnowledgeReignsSupreme]

Abigailh (the "h" is silent)

WHY?

Because if you pronounced it, it would be silly.

 

[mr. furley]

Still love Majestic Mapp and his brother Scientific.

[mr. furley]

great tool for finding baby namesMakayla checks in at #37 in 2008

[desert rose]

Abigailh (the "h" is silent)

WHY?

Because if you pronounced it, it would be silly.

Maybe the "h" is there so that when she's introducing herself to a guy, she can lean over him, and whisper breathlessly in his ear, "Hello, my name is Abigailhhhhhhhhhhhh. Let's go to my place." I just don't get why anyone would think, hey, what this name needs is some H. Not a particularly feminine letter.

A college professor buddy of mine has an Emmylou Mendoza Wong.

 

[mr. furley]

Again...

lofl at "Yeah Detroit" and "Sex Fruit"but wtf is with your avatar?

 

[NCCommish]

Even better

Again...

Not sure a court should be taking your kid because they don't like the name. No matter how ridiculous. I am glad we can still burden our kids with ridiculous names without the state getting involved. Seriously.

 

[wazoo11]

Caleb is becoming popular for some odd reason.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

The parents of these kids should be forced to change their names to Dypp####t or MoorRonn or something similar.

 

[Philo]

Teacher friend recalls a student a few years back named Female (fee-MAL-eee). No word on whether or not the parents just liked the word when filling out the birth certificate.

 

[Otis]

I recently met a Jennipher.

 

[Otis]

My girlfriend is a teacher and in one of her classes had a girl with the first name Intelligenz.

It's on her birth certificate like that.

Not really. A lot of Nazarenes though.

 

[desert rose]

One of my former students came by to show me pictures of her baby. She named her Precious Angel.

 

[jmcc]

Skylar is the equivalent of a tribal tattoo.................Sounded cool at the time.I don't have any kids, but if I have a daughter, I'm bringing 'Mary' back.It's so common that it is uncommon.

That's what we just named our daughter. I don't know any other Marys that aren't 70+.

I have a seven year old named Mary.

I work in Student Development at a University. I met with a "Classy" on Friday. She was, in fact, classy.

This is what my wife wants to name our next kid if it's a girl.

 

[Godsbrother]

If you are expecting a child and want to give them a unique name may I suggest Joseph, Robert, Mary or Susan?

These names seem to be on the edge nowadays.

 

[-jb-]

Serious question - did our grandparents sit around saying, "If you are expecting a child and want to give them a unique name may I suggest Herbert, Fred, Betty or Mabel?"

 

[the moops]

Izak is a kick ### name.

 

[bakes]

My FIL has a kid in his school district whose last name is "Afraid of Bear"

 

[RudiStein]

Poor kid is going to be picked on all the time at school...by bears.

What about Raven?I'm sure that could give Caleb a run for its money.

Just 2 that I can recall. One was a Rayven.

Nope. Usually you were given the name of a relative. The idea of dreaming up new names and spellings seems to be something that became popular about 20 years ago.

 

[Abraham]

Some times I wonder if names with goofy spellings are the result of a parent being too ignorant to spell it correctly. For example, "Antawn Jamison".

 

[St. Louis Bob]

Not really. I'm 37 and no one in my family has my name. My father is 70, and no one has his. My grandfather would be in his 90s and no one has is, either.

Anfernee Hardaway always makes me smile for this reason.

Okay. My mother's side (Italian), is loaded with Jim/James, Anthony/Tony, Michael/Mike, Thersea and Marie. My father's side (Irish) has quite a few William/Bill, Daniel/Dan, Margaret/Maggie.Not an Antwaan in the bunch.

Catholic?

 

[headcrack]

I want to cash in on this trend. I want to market sets of dice which are imprinted with prefixes and suffixes. Prospective parents could roll however many die they want and name their babies based on the result.

Mama-to-be: "Yo, Tayshawn, whatchoo roll?"

Daddy-to-be: "I gots a "Shon", a "tav" and a "ius". SHONTAVIUS!!!

 

[Al Czervik]

Just saw a Facebook update from a friend congratulating a couple on the birth of their baby... Kamryn

 

[Leroy Hoard]

My favorite name from the old Mad TV: Bunifa Latifah Halifah Sharifa Jackson

 

[Red Eyed and Blue]

Kind of a disappointing crop this year. No lemonjello or anything.

Not really the demographic around here.

Will I get a time out for laughing at this?

 

[RudiStein]

I have student named Iryna. Her mother is a Russian mail-order bride...no shtick. The first day of school she tells me she doesn't want to be called Iryna. She wants to be called Ira.

She went from having a name like a hot Bond girl to the name of an 83 year old Jewish man.
