Just got friended on Facebook by a girl with whom I studied Classics in college. She has the cutest kid ever, and as I was looking through her pictures of him, I noticed his name: Tiberius.And they aren't calling him Ty or anything like that. Just straight up Tiberius.

Star Trek fan maybe?
 
Looks like I've already got it on the girls list... but a fb friend of mine commented on the recent pollen levels, and some female friend of his made a comment that their daughter Brooklyn was having a hard time with allergies because of it. I commented that my nephew The Bronx was having problems as well.

 
Hopefully none of the panty-bunched people in this thread have seen the trailer for Ted where about 50 names are called "white trash." :unsure:

I like it when parents say "it's our child we ll name him whatever we want" or "we kept it to ourselves because we didn't want comments from everybody else" or "we named him Gaylord Grayson Graybush because we had to get another G name in there with the letters G.A.Y., it's a tradition".Guess what. It might be YOUR kid but it's his/her name. Don't make it something stupid. The kid has to start school not to far down the road and the ####### name you gave them ain't helping thier street cred one bit. Look at my child he's such an individual with his name Styyvon. O my little Macedonia is such a little princess. Well little Styyvon just got a wedgie and black eye from Brandon who's already got to second base with Kayla. And Macedonia just got zero valentines on valentines day because none of the boys in her class could spell her idiotic name.It's not your name, don't be selfish. Keep it simple. Rant over.

The given name Brandon originates from the English surname Brandon.[1] This surname is a habitational name, derived from any of the numerous places in England called Brandon. Such places can include: Brandon, County Durham; Brandon, Northumbria; Brandon, Suffolk; Brandon, Warwickshire; and other locations.[2] For the most part, the names of these places are derived from two Old English language elements: brōm, meaning "broom", "gorse"; and dūn, meaning "hill".[3] However, one location, Brandon in Lincolnshire, may be connected to the River Brant, which runs close by.[2] This river's name is derived from two Old English elements: brant, meaning "steep", "deep"; and dūn, meaning "hill".[4] The name of this location is probably in reference to the river's steep banks.[2]In some cases, it is also possible that the given name Brandon is a variant form of the Irish given name Brendan.[1] This name is an Anglicised form of the old Gaelic language name, Bréanainn, which in turn is derived from a Celtic language element meaning "prince".[5] It is also possible that the given name Brandon has been influenced from the surname of the American actor Marlon Brando (1924–2004).[1] This surname is derived from the Lombardic language personal name Brando. This personal name was a short form of several personal names composed with the Germanic language element brand, meaning "sword".[6]

Let's face it. All names are "stupid" at some point in time. Imagine the horror in this thread if someone came in and said they named their son Prince. In reality, that's what Brandon is (or worse, Broom Hill)...it was just started a long ####### time ago.And while we're at it, are we to assume that everyone named James should be Hebrew? Or do we agree that naming someone the translation for "heel" is OK in it's own right? Or should we think that James is stupid, because it's an adaptation of Jacob?My name is Jason. I'm not greek, and my guess is that most Jasons aren't. When my mother said she was going to name me Jason, eyes rolled. That was in the 70s. It became so popular that there is now a name book called, "Beyond Jennifer and Jason."Names are created and adapted over time. Someone mentioned a kid named Helen, and said they must be the only one under 50. Why did Helen turn bad? Or Stanley? Maybe one day very soon James will be dumb.I think I might name my next kid LTFU in honor of this thread.

Uhhhh.....if you're trying to argue in favor of naming a kid Styyvon or Macedonia, you're not doing a very good job of it.

That would most likely make the list. Would be cool if you could make the initials work out that way though... Leonidas Tiberius Franklin Upchurch, or something like that. I guess you might have to change your last name though. Unless your wife's maiden name starts with 'U' then you could use that. Because using the man's last name is so mysoginistic and archaic anyway.

I'm arguing that ALL names are stupid. Every single one of them. Macedonia is a place. So is Brandon. In fact, so is St. Yvon(Styvon). One is "stupid" because it is uncommon. Steven means wreath, crown. Why would you name someone after a something you hang on your door at Christmas? Ohhh, that's right. Some dude in Greece did it like 2500 years ago. Sold!Susan means Lotus Flower. Wanna name your daughter Lotus Flower?William means helmet.Melissa means honey bee.All. Names. Are. Stoopid.

Woman Named Fellony Charged with Felony Battery Over Bar Brawl

It's not often that a perfect storm of irony rolls into town. But a woman name Fellony has been charged with, you guess it, felony battery after a bar fight in Indiana.

In what must be the most unfortunate case of a child living up to her name, Fellony Silas, 30, allegedly smashed a glass against a woman's forehead. The altercation started after the 24-year-old victim bumped into Fellony on the bar's dance floor, The Smoking Gun reports.

So what kind of punishment is our dear Fellony facing for her alleged antics?

The aptly-named suspect was arrested and charged with a Class C felony by Monroe County police. If convicted, under Indiana law Fellony could get anywhere from 2 to 8 years in prison, be fined up to $10,000, or both.

Like many states, Indiana law categorizes felonies into four classes: A, B, C, and D. Class A felonies are the most severe and carry from 20 years up to life imprisonment depending on the offense. Fines of up to $10,000 can also be imposed.

So with that in mind, one could say that Fellony lucked out by just getting away with a Class C felony. At least that's what the person who tells her parents should say before letting them that their little girl is behind bars.

As for the victim, she survived the attack and was sent to the hospital for medical treatment. Fellony is currently jailed in lieu of $10,000 bond.

This isn't the suspect's first run-in with the law. Fellony was arrested on a number of charges in the same county, including forgery, theft, fraud, and disorderly conduct. Hopefully this most recent felony bar battery charge will be Fellony's last.

That's not ironic. It's appropriate.

A co-worker has a new nephew named "John Thomas." The parents thought it was a good combination of two, strong, standard English names. They didn't want to get into any trouble with trendy names.

I had no idea about the British use of that until now.Those crazy Brits and their euphemisms.

I'm Hippling here big time, but I missed this first time around. My first and middle name is John Thomas. I never had a problem with it, until I caught that euphemism one night in high school watching Black Adder. Oh well, it's still better than John Irby III, which I almost was.
 
Two odd ones I ran into yesterday. I met a girl named Aderral at the shop yesterday and then met a baby girl named Blue Ivy at the Nets game last night.

 
Wife's best friend has two kids...

Kahmen (19yo) boy

Drayven (8yo) boy

Her other best friend has five kids...

Nevaeh (8yo) girl (heaven, backwards)
