Stupid Baby Names (1 Viewer)

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.

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.

I actually think the name Brooklyn is pretty cool. Brooklyn Decker.Wife and I both liked it, but since we used to live in Brooklyn, we didn't think it worked. If we lived in Podunk or something, I feel like it could work.

Brooklyn "Double" Decker. Nice. Hope she seals shut the toilet tank in her apartment.
 
If you want to name your girl Brooke, then just call her Brooke. You don't have to come up with stupid variations of a normal name.

 
My wife thought this was stupid (she's probablt right), but I always thought why spell out a name that's just the phonetic sound of a letter?

Instead of Jay, they boy should be J.

Instead of Elle, the girl should be L.

You could do this for Bea, Dee, Kay, and so on. Think about how much cumulative time the kid would save in his or her life if everytime they wrote their name they could shave off a few useless letters.

I was once engaged to a Russian chick. I noted to her how Sirgei (sir-gay) is a popular Russian man's name as is Yuri (your-eee). I suggested that we combine those two names together and name our prospective boy Yurgei. Something must have been lost in translation because she wasn't amused.

 
I like Rogue for a girl (No, I didn't come up with it while thinking of X-Men). However, the other half said no. I can see her side of it, but I still like it.

 
My sister in law just named her little girl "Aniela" which is a Polish variant on Angelica, I believe. I have made it my mission to mispronounce the name every time I say it, just to prepare her for everyone else butchering the name for the life of this poor kid. FWIW, they call the girl "Ella" which is fine.

 
Wife is pushing hard to name our second daughter Marlowe. I keep explaining to her that it sounds like a made-up word, but she assures me it's a name.

Reactions? Tanner, would you make fun of this kid's name in your class, or does it rise above the absurd bar?

It's a name all right. A surname.

EDIT: Google informs me that Jason Schwartzman named his daughter Marlowe.* I don't know if I'm more disturbed by the name choice or the fact that Jason Schwartzman has procreated.

* Also, Sienna Miller, but she's named after a Crayola color so almost anything would be an improvement.

Thats a weird one.

 
one of humphrey bogart's classics roles was playing raymond chandler's private investigator phillip marlowe in the big sleep.

also **** powell in murder my sweet.

and robert mitchum reprised both roles (second retitled farewell my lovely).

bogart also played a PI in the generally accepted first noir maltese falcon, dashiel hammett's sam spade (if anybody wants to follow the pattern for future baby girl names as some kind of bogart noir PI role homage).

It's a first name too, for soap opera characters.

Are you a Texans fan by any chance?

No, diehard Steelers fan - I wanted our 1st to be Connor Daniel but we went with Michael as the middle name for our 1st boy -- I've always liked the name Owen and the only middle name we could decide on was my first name --

The girl name we had picked out for this one was Amelia "Mia" Louise (we found out gender at the hospital)

We're taking a lot of flack in here. May need to like Mrs. O up to this thread.

*I believe Sienna Miller may have given her the idea...

Marlowe == Shaniqa for white folk. You're trying too hard. If you stick your poor daughter with that monicker, know that everyone who hears it a) feels sorry for her and b) thinks her parents are pretentious clowns.

 
After all the stupid names that people like, have used, or mentioned in this thread Marlowe is getting flack? Otis Marlowe is fine, different without being too different.

1. Marlowe is very, very trendy right now. Take that however you want.

2. I'm old so when I hear "Marlow" I think of a hard-boiled, chain-smoking private eye. Imagine 10-15 years from now people naming their kid "Kojak".

3. I don't make fun of kids names in class. I do it behind their backs and on the internet.

 
People say black folks give their kids nonsense names, but white people are just as bad with their XXXden names.

Kaden

Aiden

Saden

Braden

Yep, first thing I thought of was a Baltimore drug lord. And what could you call her for short, Mar? It doesn't seem like a gender specific name either..

This girl has heard of it (albeit spelled differently)

My 2yo daughter's best friend is named Marlowe. She's a ####.
