How would you pronounce the name Callie?

Cal like California

Lie like lee jeans

I'm not sure how else this is supposed to be pronounced... unless that's the point- and Hugh's is pronounced Crambag or something terrible.

agree that it should be "Kal-ee" but I'm guessing some people (the wrong, dumb ones) would guess "Kay-lee"

Why do parents do this? For the rest of this girl's life she is going to have to explain to people how to spell/pronounce her name.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

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.

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.

Bingo. I live in south OC, I would expect some range rover driving clown to name their kid this....oh wait. NM.

Seriously, don't. And no Kaia, kaila, Kayla, etc please.

I met someone named Gassie (pronounced Gassy) the other day. Can you imagine the living hell he had as a kid?

As someone mentioned earlier in this thread (I think), people today give their kids dog names and give their dogs people names.

This should qualify as child abuse.

I wnet to school with somebody named Gasia (not sure of spelling)- prounounced "gah-see-ah". I think she was Italian and definitely not Gassy.Why not just go with Fartz.

On the positive side, he wont need a whole new stage name if he ever goes into porn. Just a good made-up last name.

Stihl Roddington

Stihl E. Daniels

It's where he was conceived!

Also, I'm assuming its a boy because what kind of idiot would name a girl that?

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I was at my nephew's soccer game and a kid on his team is named Dillinger.

I was tempted to find out who the parents were and ask them if Dillinger's sister was named Capone.

Odd as it sounds, I kindof like Dillinger.

 

[zed2283]

Omg... a guy I know is having a baby (his wife is) and he, for some ungodly reason, made a post on facebook asking what they should name the kid. So as you might imagine, my head is currently about to explode. I've tried my best not to read the responses. I managed to only notice two names. One was already on the list, and I've added the other. I was also able to ignore all the Irish names.

[Long Ball Larry]

Agreed. Just "No. 16" would be far worse.

My wife teaches. She has 5 variations of Jordan in her class. 3 girls spelled Jordyn and Jordan and 2 boys spelled Jordyn and Jordan.

To be fair, it's pronounced "Throatwarbler Mangrove"

Has a ruling been issued on Julian?

Has a ruling been issued on Julian?

Like a lot of these, it depends how much money you have.

 

[zed2283]

Has a ruling been issued on Julian?

I'm not really fond of it, but I think it has enough tradition to remain off the list.

 

[Annyong]

Has a ruling been issued on Julian?

I personally like the name. Many here don't.

How do the fathers feel about that?
