"All across America, parents are mangling names to trumpet their kid’s individuality." - Polidicks

I know a friend that thinks "Tempest" is a good name for a girl...

[QUOTE=Dr Magnusson;21831844]Have your parents ever touched you inappropriately?[/QUOTE] No.

[QUOTE=robowurmz;21830705]We had 4 Alistairs in my class. It's popular in this area of Scotland.[/QUOTE] I use to have a friend with that name but his parents spelt it Alasdair, which I though was cool.

[quote]the name in question is spelled “Shaiyahne,” not “Cheyenne.”[/quote] Either I read this wrong or he has it backwards.

If I had a daughter I'd name her Sophia-Rose and if I had a son then probably have his first name as his dads middle name and he'll have two middle names which would be my dads first name and my partners dads first name.

If I wanted something personalised I'd probably have to take it somewhere for someone to do it for me.

[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;21832952]Either I read this wrong or he has it backwards.[/QUOTE] It's a confusing clause, he's stating that the person in question would have to tell people to spell it Shaywhatever it is, when the person talking to the person in question thinks it should be spelt Cheyenne. Also, I'd like to name my son Geoff, that's a man's name.

[QUOTE=Binge le mag;21831899]I hate my damn name, it's never in the gift-shops.[/QUOTE] No matter how shit a holiday has been, if I see my name in the gift shop I'm happy.

This is seriously one of my friends names Srishunbagasundaran Bathmanathan

nothing is better than being named coach.

I know someone named Unique.

Whatever happened to names such as Jim, Roger, or Lloyd?

prismatex would you please stop scouring the internet for news to post on facepunch?

[QUOTE=JerryK;21830520]Everyone's trying to be "individual" to avoid the bandwagon, but in a sense being an individual IS the bandwagon.[/QUOTE] What's the irony meter emoticon again? I remember watching a video a few weeks ago where this woman had about 4-5 kids, all had retarded names that were derived from Beyonce (I think). Come to think of it, it may have been on failblog.

Some kid in our school is called Hope. Fucking hippies.

naming my kid jebbadiahbillabong. [editline]09:29AM[/editline] [QUOTE=PunchedInFac;21833604]nothing is better than being named coach.[/QUOTE] His friends call him Coach.

One's name should reflect their qualities but not stamp them with them from the birth That's why I'll give my children neutral identification codes that'll be used until they have developed some character and only then they'll be given real names

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;21830716]I remember reading about that one kid where they named him Justin and his last name was Tyme Justin Tyme born on the first hour of new years. (get it yet?)[/QUOTE] That was actually a good name.

There was a girl in my class a while back named Aslan. Yeah, that's right, the motherfucking magic lion from Narnia. [IMG]http://victory.wdfiles.com/local--files/chapter06:the-sixth-seal-the-vengeance-of-the-lion-lamb-6:12/aslan.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=Killuah;21831032]My name is Paul.[/QUOTE] OMG me too! Also people should name their kid Fred I never see any Freds around.

[QUOTE=Kalibos;21830524]When will these fucking people learn that if you want to call your child something unique, choose a unique [B]name[/B] and [highlight]NOT[/highlight] a unique [B]spelling.[/B] Also, my high school chemistry teacher told us that his twin brother wants to name his child(ren) Stoneblade if male, Summersky Valentine if female, and Diamond Ice can go both ways.[/QUOTE] I'm guessing her brother is into RPGs? Those names sound like something I'd name my Oblivion characters. Also my enchanted weapons.

I'm gonna name my son Sue.

[QUOTE=stone555;21830498]I hate 'unique' names. There's this girl in my homeroom class, her name is Calypso. I don't even need to explain her.[/QUOTE] Uhh, Calypso is an awesome name. You probably have some name based in Judeo-Christian myth or an occupation. Calypso comes from ancient Greek myth as the sea Goddess and daughter of a Titan.

[QUOTE=Swim;21834476]I'm gonna name my son Sue.[/QUOTE] Why not call him Bill, or George, or anything but Sue?

I'm going to name my son Maximilian Ironheart, so he can steal nuclear weapons and threaten MI5.

Gowhn for John. :psyduck:

This has been going on in council estates all over the UK for a while. They're all complete scumbags though mind. Theres a kid in my school called Sharday. Theres also a few varients of Ashley such as Ashwin and Ashlin. :/.

[QUOTE=Askaris;21834609]Why not call him Bill, or George, or anything but Sue?[/QUOTE] That's the joke.

[QUOTE=GunFox;21834592]Uhh, Calypso is an awesome name. You probably have some name based in Judeo-Christian myth or an occupation. Calypso comes from ancient Greek myth as the sea Goddess and daughter of a Titan.[/QUOTE] Yeah there's nothing wrong with Calypso. It's a rather neutral entity, one that's not really associated with anything. And it's not even spelled incorrectly or pretentiously.

I can think of so many racist jokes right now. But for now i will only tell you a true story of a friend of mine. Her parents named her a typical, odd black name, no racism intended there. So one day when my friends asked "where did they get that name?" the mother just said "Oh i didn't give it to her, the hospital did, it was on a wrist band they put on there, i just thought it was too beautiful to change" She name her daughter "Female" but pronounces it "fee-MAH- lay" I'm not fucking kidding either. On another note, why do people name their kids with such retarded names? Like Desire, Princess, Shaquisha, Miracle.....

At my friends work experience they had a kid come in for a birthday party, he was called Odysseus.
