C'mon parents....stopped with the EFFed up names.. (2 Viewers)

Our daughter is Gabrielle and our next daughter is prolly going to be Sophia or Natalie.

I notice that names tend to be trendy though.  Not a whole lot of Ethel or Bertha out there.  Or take my grandparents...

Albert

Elroy

Corrine

Doris

I don't know one kid named any of those names, but they were quite popular 70 years ago.

Grandparents' names are sweet! Mine (as spelled on BC):

Helen

Wilfred

Melva

Jimmy

Needless to say, none of my children will have "family" names from that era.

Besmirch the name of my late grandfather again and I'll find you and make your son a *******.

Okay. We're cool, then. Can I come over tomorrow?

Sure. What kinda beer you bringin'?
 
This woman's parents absolutely hated her.

Likely that she "married into" that name.

Why ruin the fun? Just go with it.

This is a good example of when a wife should keep or hyphenate your last name. I went to school with a kid that was named James James II. You would think that the guys dad would have spared the poor kid after he was named James James. We always called him James squared in school.

 
Highlights from yesterday's Birth Announcements in the local newspaper:

First and middle names only:

Deuineauty Navaehly (f)

Twins...Gypsy Rose (f) and James Dizzy (m)

Flor Jarelly (f)

Charlize Evony (f)

Lyric Sa'Khai (f)

Deuineauty? HTF do you even pronounce that? Do-IN-u-tee?
 
True Story.

A girl I used to date in H.S. recently had a baby boy.

She married a guy with the last name "Bauer".....and yes, you guessed it, they named their new son "Jack"

Word is they never watched "24" and have no idea. Just really liked the name Jack.

My best friend's wife is still good friends with this girl and last weekend he calls me up and tells me he's on his way with the wife "to Jack Bauer's baby shower". I tell him to make sure to say hello to the greatest American Patriot for me.

I wonder how many times it will take people screaming "WHO ARE YOU WORKING FOR!!!" for them to get it?
 
True story - my cousin is an OB/Gyny. A lady gave birth to twins and names them:

(pronunciation first):

(or-AN-jell-oh) and (le-MON-jell-oh)

spelled: Orangello and Lemongello

Also, she swears that on lady named her child "Machonium"

(for those that still don't get it - Organge Jello and Lemon Jello) and mechonioum (sp?) is the medical term for the first bowel movemement of a newborn - she heard the doctor say it and liked the sound of it. I am serious.

I heard that same story from a teacher. The Orange and Lemon Jello thing is urban legend.
 
It's going to be interesting to see how many more years it will be until "JOHN" is considered a cool, unique name.

Maybe once they stop referring to dudes who get hookers by that name.
 
Can anyone honestly now name their son:

Richard

#### < short for Richard

Peter

and why would you?

I work in a college mailrrom and see all sorts of stupid names.I have a discipline hearing after work today over my mispronouncing one of these names.They named their son Shi'thead but pronounce it sha theed.

 
My wife named our daughter Alair middle name she goes by Riley. Alair is a family name on her side.

I never heard of it till I meet my wife. I like it.

 
Have a Peyton (girl) in family.  Thought it was bad until they named her sister "McKinley"

Was hoping they'd just name all their kids after presidents. "Harding, get your ### in here!"  "Polk, if I gotta tell you ONE MORE TIME!"

:lmao: "Lincoln, you put that candle out and go to bed right now!"

"Van Buren! Take off your sister's ballerina outfit or you're gonna get a time out!"

actually considered this name for a period. "Linc" is a hella cool nickname. :bag:

 
There was a set of twins around here several years ago named Orangello (Or-ron'-gel-low) and Lemonjello (Le'-mon-gel-low).  Story was mom didn't have names yet and for lunch at the hospital she had a choice of orange jello or lemon jello.  Well, I guess she chose both!  I can't vouch for the authenticity of the story of the origin for the names, but it seems like some f'd up thing somebody would do.  The two brothers were pretty good athletes.

Well, I have an email from 1999 that swears this is a true story, so I'll back you up on this.

Quick serious question...Why name a child something when you already know they are going to go by something else? Why not just flip-flop the names?
Click to expand...
:goodposting: I never got this either. Lets name our child but have them go by their middle name instead.

 
I need to name a child in approximately 3 months. This thread has made it a certainty I won't be able to decide until gametime.

:loco:

:goodposting: When's her due date? My wife is due Sept 22nd.

We don't have anything set yet but so far we like Isabella and Alexandra.
