Do you ever hear people talking about baby names, and feel sorry for their kids?

I'm so glad my mom named me Olivia.

Do you ever hear people talking about baby names, and feel sorry for their kids?
OMG yeah... I know that some people like their children's names to have some originality to it. but there has got to be a line sometimes between what is unique and cute to what is cruel.





I heard somewhere that there was this guy who named his son a 47 letter first name with most of which were consonants.
Reply:Yes. I know someone who named her son Juzden. And not to be cute, either. She sounded out Justin and thought she had the 'normal' spelling.
Reply:Yeh
Reply:Well we were shopping with my mom when we saw a little cute kid with a lot of chocolates in his hands. Then we heard his mother calling him 'Szani!' /pronounced Saa-nee/. We just couldn't guess what his name was, then the mother shouted his name again 'Szaniszl贸!' /Saa-nee-sloo/. I'm Hungarian and we're usually considered to have weird names compared to others (I don't think any of you can pronounce Gy枚rgy, which is one of the most common names here - it's a form of George btw), but I've never heard of Szaniszl贸 before. Such a ridiculous name.... Poor little guy.
Reply:I fell bad for all celebrity children. Seriously, Pilot Ispektor? Bronx Mowgli? Apple? Seriously, parents need to take into mind that their children will grow up with these names. Who wants to go through their whole life as Pilot Inspektor? Come on guys.

Reply:YES!


This woman I work with is naming her daughter "Sorsha" in February after the evil princess in Willow (the movie with the little people from the 80s).





Yeah.....





Her other 2 kids are named Aeris (after a Final Fantasy character) and Braden d'James (she didn't want his initials to be DJ).





hmmmmmmmm
Reply:Yeah. I mean, I think it's nice to put some thought into your kids' names and be a little creative, but come on....whenever I wonder about a name, I picture the child in 1st grade and decide if 1) their teachers will be able to read it from a role and pronounce it, 2) that people will know whether they are a boy or a girl without needing to see a picture, and 3) whether or not the kids at school will make fun of them for their name/whether or not their name rhymes with anything (like Cooper rhymes with Pooper, etc).





And just as a little rant, I am so frustrated by the guys on here that always puts up questions like, "What do you think of the name Perineum?" "What do you think of the name Uterus?" "What do you think of the name Placenta?" It drives me bonkers.





Sorry, done ranting. :-)
Reply:yes, all the time. My friend is naming her child, Hazen :( which i am not too fond of.





And I know someone whos name is Rectus Dixon





No lie..


so sad.
Reply:Oh yeah! I'm so tempted sometimes to tell them the truth (and 9 times out of 10 I do) but you know they are going to name their child what THEY want...
Reply:Yeah. I think it's okay to be creative, but your name is so important in life-it is the sweetest sound you weill hear. Some people do not stop to think about the damage they are doing with some of those made up names-they sound ludicrous and go too far. Plus if they get too "cute", they may not be taken seriusly. Avoid the overly earth names or the made up sort, fols, PLEASE., do it for you child's future.
Reply:LOL! Oh, yes.
Reply:Yes I do! i am so glad my parents had good taste in names!





I really feel sorry for the kids who get random apostrophes and hyphens in their name. So unnecessary!





Oh, and those family theme names. I know a couple with quads named:


boy- Hunter


boy- Trapper


boy- Fisher


girl- Scout





Poor kids!
Reply:omg Butter haha that souns like butterz haha


ye my parents named my brother sam paul- cos it sounds like sample LOL :l


i'm lucky my name's georgina mary
Reply:Yes and No because we all have the right to name our children what we like. And even with a normal sounding name you might have someone to tell you that they hate the name. But I have about two friends that just had babies and one friend who have twins on the way ( Isadora %26amp; Imogene) and I don't really like those names but it's her children. My mother was going to name me Amelia but everyone told her that it was too old-fashioned ( I was born early 70's ) and I ended up with a name that I will not share with anyone.
Reply:Yes... I like the original names people come up with but some of the old fashioned ones I've heard are HORRIBLE!


My cousin's kids are named Angus (the fourth) and Beatrice.... Ugh


Although far out names like apple or moses are just bad!
Reply:Yes, I do. I generally keep my opinions to myself though..... unless they ask the dreaded question, "What do you think? Do you like it?" Then I'm forced to tell the truth. lol I know a woman who named her son "Butter". That's his LEGAL name. Its..... sad.
Reply:On here... yes.. all the time! Thank god my name is Stephanie.. it may be been pretty popular back in the 80s but at least it was normal.
Reply:All The Time!


I Know A Bubbles, Butter, Abbergale, Rihanna [Spelt Like The Singer Not Rhianna], A Princess And A Sharn [Sian]


I'm Glad My Name's Just Plain Sofia!

EDIT: Oh And A Tiara!
Reply:Yes! Many people think of "baby names" that sound cute. They don't think about what the name will sound like when the baby GROWS UP!
Reply:usually they give their babys strange names because they want their child to stand out and not just be another sue or bob or olivia.....what u dont like another may love.........
Reply:Oh Yeah.





There was some guy last night going on about the name Pearblossom. Absolutely Terrible.
Reply:Oh my god, I feel the same way. My kids are named Kayla, Olivia and Danny. I'm glad the drugs didn't get to me during the birth/c-section. Seriously, one time in the store I heard a mom yell, "Ryder! Jadalyn! Get back here!" They were both girls.! One of my friends from college named her daughter Princess. Eeeee!
