First, an explaination. I work for the Local Government, in the Birth Registration office. This means I get to see the birth certificate of every child born in this state. And I have found that some people have no idea what kind of torture they are setting their children up for in the future when they name them.

For example, we have the Royalty: (last names removed to protect the guilty)
Pharaoh Isaac
King James
Princess Argentina LaShae

Then, we have the Bad Puns:
Christa Chandra Leer
DeJae Vou (Lynch)

And of course, the Popular Culture:
(Ryan) Austin Powers
Anikan Luke (Matheny)

And, lastly, the OverDone:
Mary Elizabeth Sarah Katherine Rose Olivia Rebecca Ruth Suzanne Turley

These children, some of them now entering Kindergarten, are going to be meeting a plethoira of Brianna's, Kayla/Kaylee's, Hunter's (Male and Female), Aaron's, Bailey's... all of every conceivable spelling that a maxium 12th grade education can imagine.

Now, considering what happens to a child named Dick in elementary school playgrounds... What's going to happen to these 'Designer Named' children?

Heh, I heard that in England, more children are getting named Arwen, is that true?

Shit, that last one's a doosie...

Thats almost as long as the Queen's name!

Atleast Arwen is a good name. It has history.

It was two lines in the rather good-sized box on the certificate. I might have missed two, cause while I know it was 10 names, I forget if that was the full name, or just the "Middle" names.

Some people need there children named for them, then taken from there custody.

So I shoudn't name my kid "Mad Max Cundellini"?

My friend James named his kid "Maximo"

Yeah. That was the look I gave him too.

Dude. What is up with that last name? You don't have to give everyone in your family a shout out by naming your kid after them... and if that wasn't the reason they did it, I think these people ought to be examined a bit. O_o

I once heard of a guy who wanted to name his kid Weapon X.

And I hope the nurse kicks him right in the crotch when he suggests it...

Jesus, these make the uncommon names I've picked for my future children sound normal.

This is the same guy who'll never get laid, right?

My freind wants to name his kid *Cough*.

It's written like that but pronounced like your accually coughing.

I blame it on teen parents, Teen parent shouldn't be allowed to name their kids, this chick on my bus that got knocked up her freshman year, named her kid Destiny Star, there are 2 Princess's that I know of at my school and several of the black chicks, that have made up african sounding names.

No hippy names anymore?

I dated a girlfriend named "Bluejay Willowtree" for a few months, does that count?

Indeed, I think teenage parenting might have something to do with the shit names.

You know how many times when I was in high school I heard the preggo preppies saying they were naming their daughter "Destiny". That's so fucking stupid. I'll laugh when your child makes nothing of their life, just like you are right now, you slut.

looks at Brother: "Alagator" never mind

Looks at Niece & two Nephews

Zoe - From Seaseme Street
Elmo-From Seaseme Street (Hope he's tickelish)
Jonathon Robert Kennedy (Last Name): Biography of the Kennedys (Hope he lasts longer then his namesakes)

Looks at the names I wanted if I became a parent
Tatyana -I admit it I love Dr. Zhivago.

You gonna share them with us?

Rebecca and I named our boys Matthew and David because we wanted strong names that wouldn't make them the target of ridicule. The people who make up these fucking goofball names for their kids should be beaten with a lead pipe.

One of my real fucking names is Dorian. WTF (I have two).

luckily there are laws here which make it illegal to give your kid a name like that.
i remember a case several years ago. a couple wanted to name thir kid "god" but werent allowed to.

No, that's fucked up. A parent can namee their kids what the hell they want, nomatter how stupid they are... names don't mea anything, for Bob's sake, they're only labels...

Just goes to show you that people can have kids but that doesn't mean they're fit parents.

Labels are a type of symbol. Symbols are in every thing that matters intellectually to a human mind.

Also Categorisation is a defining quality of human life, deal with it.
