To people who like or have children:

OH, I forgot about my friend with the organic farmer parents who gave him the middle name "Sunshine" and his siter "Moonshine". She gets so much shit ALL the time.

[JCC]

Why? Moonshine is a rad name.

[Solumina]

I have no problem with people being a bit creative with their kid's middle name, it isn't like that is something that comes up regularly and it can be sweet to have something a bit different from everyone else.

I know someone who had a boy when she was about 16 and named him Skyheart Serenity whatever-the-last-name-is, something to do with roses.

Skyheart Serenity is going to get his ass kicked every day for the rest of his life.

[MissCheyenne]

My sister wanted to call her daughter Chardonnay Bracken. Ugh

[Mir]

Let me guess - Shane instead Shay-enne?

[MissCheyenne]

Guess what?

[Mir]

Say what??

[MissCheyenne]

I have no idea. I was trying to guess what you were guessing at.

[Mir]

Pronunciation of your name, tube-light.

[MissCheyenne]

Its pronounced sha-ney. Or Ssh-nay. That's the closest example I can give to how it's pronounced.

[Mir]

Gotcha. Sweet name.

[MissCheyenne]

Thanks. Most people just think it's a bit weird.

[Mir]

You can't cater to everyone's taste!

[MissCheyenne]

True, I can't and I can't help the name I was given.

[Mir]

Yeah, but you have a lovely name so it doesn't matter all that much.

I am not surprised in the least.

I almost named my girl Katinka Anneliese. Then I thought better of it. (My first name is exotic, and I have spent my WHOLE life using my plainer middle name out of self-defense, so I decided not to do that to my girl. So, I named her a plain, acceptable biblical name with a nice, albeit more exotic, middle name -- and that is the name she prefers. But, hey. It's her choice).

I had a friend one time, BTW, who wanted to name his first kid Aardvark -- for the exceptionally dumb reason that he wanted his kid to always be first in line. I think I saved his future progeny embarrassment when I explained to him that most teachers line kids up in accordance with the last name, which would ALWAYS put his kid in the middle.

They could have gone with Aaron, which would result in far fewer beatings.

I knew a girl who wanted to name her daughter Lesbianca and couldn't understand why the baby's father didn't like it, then again this same girl also considered Chlamydia because it "sounds pretty" so she clearly should never be allowed to name anyone, thankfully her boyfriend convinced her that Bianca was much nicer with out the "Les" in front of it and the child has a relatively normal name.

[Pineapple_Juice]

Apparently it's really more common than you'd think for mothers to want to name their kids Chlamydia.
These people should never breed.

[Solumina]

Sadly there are no prerequisites for breeding

I know a girl who named her kid Ocean Tiger Lily.

If I have a boy I don't know if I can resist calling him Atticus, I like the name so much. Although a part of me would want to name him after my grandfather, Elias, but the poor guy had everyone mispronouncing his name all his life, its supposed to be Ee-lye-us, but everyone said Ee-liss.

But its better than the kid who was named Number 16 Bus Shelter.

I actually thought about naming a kid after a part of the skull once, the sella turcica, which I think sounds kind of cool. But, then I decided I didn't really want to push a kid to justifiable homicide.
