Stupid Baby Names (1 Viewer)

I think you've just wiped out half of Ireland.
Well if you live in Ireland, it's ok to have Irish names.If you're of Irish decent, giving your child one of these names may be seen as stupid, though acceptable.If you just do it because it's trendy, then it's a stupid name.
I understand if the parents are 1st gen from Ireland or they're naming after a grandparent or something.But if your family moved from Ireland during the potato famine you're not Irish.Here's my son Keegan and my other son Rogan. Don't worry it's not ridiculous one of my great great great great great grandparents lived in Ireland.

Is this thread just pure shtick? Perhaps I'm more sensitive than others considering my name and the crap I took for it, but to insult parents for what they name their children just seems mean to me. Maybe I've misjudged the thread's intentions, but mocking people for what they name their children is what bullies would do.I also like La-La. :bag:
My biggest pet peeve is babies.

if your parents named you todd or john do ya think youdve gotten crap about your name
I see what you did there...Are you asking me seriously? I don't know if I would or would not have. I can only speak from what I went through as a Forrest.

Anyhow, I think anybody choosing to insult and mock others for the names they come up with for their children are nothing short of bullies. Carry on and ridicule away, but I think it's a pretty classless thing to do.

Bullies would mock the poor kids, and it's not the kids' fault. It's the parents who deserve the mocking for their actions. This thread is designed to help the kids before they ever have a chance to be bullied due to their parents' stupidity.
This thread is nothing more than a platform for you to hurl insults and make people feel like crap. If that's how you get your rocks off, great. I think it's pretty cruel behavior.
 
What do you all think of "Jasper?"
Reminds me of the guy from Lonesome Dove that Ricky Schroeder punched. But I like it. Congrats on #3! My #3 is hitting this July and no way in hell am I giving out that name. You got more balls than me.
:lmao: That's not really the name we're going with. When my wife and I were in the baby-naming stage I straight-faced suggested this for a couple days feeling playful and I could tell she wasn't thrilled, but it was fun to make her squirm a bit. The name we are going with is a bit unconventional -- HINT: A one-time NBA player has this first name, and no it isn't as my dad recently asked, "LeBron?"

Friend of mine worked as a substitute teacher.

One day, during attendance, as he stumbled on the name La-La, a girl in class derisively stated "It's pronounced leDASHla."

Are you drunk or am I? :confused: In general, I think anybody (not you in particular, Shady) who ridicules parents for the names they chose for their children is lacking in class. I took a LOT of crap for my first son's name on this board by the same people who gave you crap when you posted pictures of your wife. I think both instances were classless, tacky and mean spirited and I hate to see that on this board. Imagine the excitement of announcing the birth of your child here only to be met with taunts and insults or reading that your child's name is 'stupid'. There's enough hurt out there in the world. We certainly don't need to bring more of it on a message board designed for fun.

How are they bullies when the people being bullied don't even know they're being bullied?

Really? You can't tie together "John" as slang for "Toilet" to "Crap"?

ive never used the term john to refer to either i swear on my sons life i didnt do that on purpose. :shrug: is that your sons name or something? theres nothing wrong with the name john at all. i used it as a point of reference as a "normal" name. as a matter of fact i didnt make fun of a single name ithis thread except the celebrity crazy names like blue ivy. am i being fished here
 
Shady, I'm not making fun of you, nor am I fishing you. The "John" and "Crap" reference was supposed to be a joke. I'm surprised you've never heard the term "John" before as slang for a toilet. I promise I didn't make it up. No, my sons don't have the name John, but I'm quite certain people here know what they are and I've grown a hard bark over all the insults since 2002. I also am not accusing you of mocking or insulting others.

Easy tiger....I like you.

ive heard the termjohn to refer to a restroom and someone who purchases a hooker. but ive never used the term to refer to a restroom so i didnt put two and two together and wasnt my intention to make that connection.

Kiki wasn't his given name.
 
Zander

Also have a poly coach from Compton who named his kids JeromeBettis, KobeBryant, NickVanExcel, and Renel. Those are their legal first names.

I think it's best to have the kid's future in mind when naming them. Go crazy with middle names if you're nostalgic.
 
Shady, it was just a bad joke. Carry on.
It wasn't a bad joke it, it was completely true. My head spun when I saw him saying a kid named "John" wouldn't be ridiculed over his name. Kids are cruel, and they will have a lot easier time making fun of a name like John, **** or Harry than they will a name like Connor. "Look at you, you're named after a 400 year old immortal from the clan MacLeod who cuts off people's heads! Er... wait, that's actually kind of cool..."

If you seriously put up a name in this thread and it gets slagged then all the people IRL who tell you it's great will be lying to you.

Exactly. I was asking about the Brenley name on facebook and the mother replied "Glad you took such an interest in my daughter's name :) means we picked out a good one!"And I'm thinking uh, no... :unsure:
 
If you seriously put up a name in this thread and it gets slagged then all the people IRL who tell you it's great will be lying to you.
I don't give a damn whether they're lying or not. Telling me my child's name is stupid is no different than telling me he's ugly. It's classless.

But you didn't have any (direct) control over him being ugly. So no one would tell you that.
