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.

I agree with flap its still not nice to say even if the parents do have full control over their childs name. Would you say that to someones face? And Im sure a # of the names in the OP are children of some FBGs names

Yes I would, and have. I just don't use the word stupid.

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.

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?"

Stromile?Alaa?Pooh?

My daughters name is Aubree. Thoughts? Insults?

I named my son after my grandfather who was dying of ALS and whose only wish was to meet his first great-grandson in person before he died. He missed it by a week.

And now some tool on a message board tells me it's a stupid name. What the #### ever.

 

[Topes]

It seems to me the thread title was a pretty good warning of what the thread contains.

It's easy for people to be a-holes on a message board. Just try not to take things so personally. Cool that you named your son after your grandfather (I did the same).

Oh, don't get me wrong, I don't take personal offense. It just bothers me when people use the internet to say things anonymously that they would never say in real life.

I already said earlier that I would say it, and have. I just wouldn't say it in so many words.

 

[mr roboto]

Oh my. Come on people. Lots of touchiness going on in here.

Who gives a #### what we think? I have names I think are dumb too, but honestly, it doesn't matter. If a kid can't overcome a little teasing, it's not cause of the weird name (unless it's something really bad like Adolf or Vulva or something).

Those who are getting all riled up - I'm sure you've never had fun with a topic in these boards before. Why so personal? My dad died, his name was Rick, my middle name is Richard. I got teased constantly for that. If I had a son, his middle name is going to be Richard. And he may get teased. #### them. And no, I won't take it personally. It would be a decision I made fully eyes wide open.

Not to geek up the thread, but Anakin would not be Luke's Grandfather's name.Luke didnt have a grandfather. Unless of course he named him Metachlorian. Which is of course a stupid baby name.

Yeah, I know. But it was the only thing I could come up with. I thought Palpatine might work a little better, but oh well.There was one moment when Palpatine talked about a Sith Lord that had discovered how to use the metachlorians to create life, or something like that? I always wondered if that was some sort of veiled implication that that's where Anakin came from.

[bentley]

My father, grandfather and great grandfather all have/had awful names. If I was going to name one of my kids after them, I hope the FFA would have the good sense to tell me they were terrible.

Miles.Granted, there are some people that name their kids stupid things. But me naming my child after his grandfather, with a name that goes back at least a thousand years to our family origins, is a lot different from the lady down the street naming her daughter after her favorite drive-thru daqiuiri flavor.Having said that, I don't tell the woman naming her daughter after her favorite drive-thru daiquiri flavor is stupid, because I try to be a decent human being (well at least, most of the time).

Well at least you had a good reason for doing so, rather than pull it out of a baby name book because it was trendy.

Wookiepedia says:Nearly a decade before his death, the Sith Lord, Darth Plagueis, and his apprentice, Darth Sidious, committed an act that directly violated the nature of the Force. To advance their plan for galactic domination, the two Sith attempted to will a being of their own design into existence, pouring their abhorrent intent into waves through the Force to the countless midi-chlorians that were spread throughout the galaxy. The experiment failed, however, and the midi-chlorians, not willing to obey, not only frustrated Plagueis' attempts, but countered in reprisal, conceiving a child within the slave Shmi Skywalker.[9]

Skywalker's mother claimed that her son was conceived without a father, but could not explain how that had happened. It was the theory of Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn that the will of the Force caused his birth.[10]

You wouldn't think so but apparently the authoritative source on stupid baby names says otherwise.

I would only find it odd if you named your daughter that.

You don't have to care. That was not my point. There have been a bunch of names that have been run by the members of this board and I'm sure that some of them are actually real and not just shtick and many of them have been deemed stupid by the members. IRL people do not tell you that your child's name is stupid or that your child is ugly. Most people are not that rude but just because they don't tell you doesn't mean they don't think your child has a stupid name or that your child is ugly. Side Note: Why does someone or some alias feel the need to tell the La-a story every few pages and pretend that it just happened to them?

Big difference between making fun of an ugly kid and some kid's stupid name.

Let's say you have a coworker that has some gigantic mole on their face. You're not going to make fun of them because it isn't their fault.

Yet if that same coworker wears a Big Bang Theory novelty necktie you can make fun of that all you want.

I understood your point. I just don't agree that all people look at some babies as being "ugly" or having a "stupid" name. At least that's not how I think about it. Semantics, I guess.

Oh COME ON, forest. Love and kisses, Colin

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.

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.

I bet as a teacher you've seen them all.

No question it influenced the naming of my kids. Were you influenced by your past name issues when naming your kids?

Honestly, my name isn't a bowl of sunshine. As someone who comes from four generations of weird names, don't do this to your kids. Pick a name they can find on a novelty license plate or key chain. The kid will be happier.
