hmm - i don't have any super crazy ones ... but i do have a couple of friends who had kind-of funny first/last name combos ... - crystal kettle - piper horn my husband just bought a car from a car dealer name torious ... and all i can think of is that duran duran (? i think) song that went "no-no-notorious" ... my DH is french, so we wanted to stick with names that worked well in english and french ... and i think b/c he's french, he is NOT into any of the trendy US names - he even thinks some more traditional US names are ridiculous - it's funny to hear him joke about a name and then be told it's completely normal (like chad or tyler)
hahaha eryn! i did a three year work exchange in paris - everyone thought i'd end up meeting my future husband while there ... and yep it worked!
Same here. There are a lot of American traditional names I love, but or people can't pronounce them very well or they are ridiculous in Portuguese, because they have a bad meaning. Stpry is so funny. Poor kid.
Dorkus is actually the name of a woman in the Bible! It is a totally wierd name! Makes me think Dork!
You actually have names that are legal or not legal in Germany?! I'm not sure how I would feel about that! I am quite certain that here in the US your child's name is whatever you put on the birth certificate - no questions asked.
Regina Filangie (**anyone remember friends) Oh, and true story... we were going to name Gabe, Jack Daniels. I LOVED both names and though it was funny. Good thing we didn't though, he'd have quite to live up to in collage. Shesh.
Yep! This is to prevent that children get names that are totally weird. Of course most of the names are ok! But, believe it or not, there are people here that would call their child Hitler...or Crazy Horse...or Joghurt (=yoghurt). In these cases I think that such a rule is very useful! But they are really obliging and you are also allowed to create a whole new name
Me too!!! I actually believe children grow into their names. So it's good to be a little careful when naming your child, but I think unique is a good thing. Have any of you caught the new Bravo show 9 by Design? They design NYC homes/apartments. They have 7 kids: Wolfgang (who they call wolfie) Tallulah Bellamy Breaker Five Holleder (who they call Holly) Major
i had NO idea all these names really existed!!!! wow!! I don't know many but i knew a girl named Sunshine- no biggie but then there was another.... named PHUC WOO - i'm SO NOT kidding!!!
I once taught a little boy in my Pre-k class who's name was Justice. I actually like it. My husband also went to school with a boy named Justice and his sister's name was Liberty! Oh... and there's a little girl on DS t-ball team named Serendipity yep.
in DD's class: Fischer Sevastian Sequel (little sister is Mystri) I dated a Thomas Anthony Hawke years ago Tom A. Hawke Some one I went too school with named their child Sequoia Yosmite Devorah September Winter my dd was going to be Saylor Marie but DH ixnayed it when he thought some may tease her by calling her seamen...
Regina Filangie..lol..I remember that Krista! I went to school with a boy named Justin Sane (just-in-sane). Yup, I'm not kidding. Both his parents were teachers at our high school, that poor boy was tortured. Their last name is Sane, but could they really not come up with anything other than Justin? I felt so bad for him....
WOW! I mean, I like unique names, but some of these are just crazy!!! The jello names are just ABSURD!!!
my nephews name is stoney. and for the longest time.. i didn't think peppermints name really WAS peppermint. and i LOVE it!
lol I didn't realise that was Peppermint's real name! I never actually thought about it...but you just get used to people haivng pseudonyms online! not me though. I'm boring.
Stoney..lol, that's actually kind cute, but I'd imagine it would get a little harded to have a name like that as he gets older... I've heard of the jello twins before, that's just crazy!
lol some of these really made me giggle.. ^_^ i cant think of any truly odd names atm... I like strawberry though ahah. I want a baby girl so i can name her strawberry (thankfully, I can 't have any more kids hah)
This is NO lie! I swear!! We once knew a man by the name of..... Harry Butts!! Yep!! That was his LEGAL name!! LMAO
