What would you NOT name your kid?

i recently met a girl who's full name (on her birth certificate) is Sugar Magnolia Sunshine Daydream. goes by Sunshine. she was born at whatever hospital was closest to the dead show closest to her birthday. kind of cool but a little much.
 
Bottolf, it's a name here in Norway that usually is attached to someone that is extremely nerdy and completely useless. Not that being a nerd is wrong.

I'm a nerd and actually proud of it =)

For boys I would try to avoid all of the common christian names like Michael, David, James, Andrew etc. They are all great names but I would want something a bit more individual for a child. I don't want the poor kid going to school and meeting a bunch of other Michaels, Davids, James etc.

I don't really get that. A name does not in any degree determine the uniqueness a person. It's just a tag. It's given by others, not chosen by the kid, so that makes it even more disconnected from the child itself. I could be named John Smith myself for all I care. *I* deermine how special, individual, etc. I am. Giving a child an unusual name only seems to suggest, that the kid was so unoriginal, they needed a weird name to make up for it.
Besides, no name is really unique, so what - is this a matter of statistic ?
 
Any really outrageous name that will only make him/her the butt of jokes. Consider the following:

*D'Artagnan (m)
*Dreamer (f)
*Tweety (f)

All real fucking names--first names--of people I've known. As it is, only a stroke of luck kept me from getting a cream puff name.

i never liked my name (james) cause it kinda does hinder you a bit from standing out (especially when your dad is named James)

and how could the name imply you had to name the kid something special since its not original..........how the hell would you know that fresh out of the womb
 
My mission in naming a kid would be to give a name that's respectable and not at all weird or old fashioned, but not in the top 100 either. Like you James, I never appreciated never being the only one in a room with my name.

For all my love of world travel and other languages, I don't feel moved to give any child of mine an ethnic or exotic sounding name.

exotic yes but not like WTF

something that just kinda gets you. My first daughter we named trinity because she made the third one of us (me,wife, then her) and its not a completly out there name but rare enough

My second one might have somewhat been out there....if you have played kingdom hearts then you get this......but theres a girl in it thats name is Kairi (Ki-ree) and me and my wife just loved how it sounds! well after trying to get people to say it write by writing it down and them butchering it we decided that we didnt want her to be made fun of...so we compromissed with the name and thus Kaira (ki-ra) was born! and people pronounce that one write (well the ones with an education)
 
I agree with most here, but i do like some exotic names, just as long as they aren't stupid.

I met a girl once whose name was Nekea, and i fucking love it. I doubt my partner/wife will ever agree with me, but i'd name my daughter that if i had the choice.

Pronounced Na-key-ah.

You'd find this amusing, then: I've met a little boy named Taryn, after the main character in Lloyd Alexander's novels, and a little girl names Celes, named after the character from Final Fantasy 6. I'd say the name Taryn wouldn't register on most people's weird meter. Celes might, slightly.

I remember reading in one of those lists of 'weird but true facts' that J.M. Barrie made up the name Wendy when he wrote 'Peter Pan'. The book was so popular that the name took off, and as years passed, people forgot where it originated. Had 'The Golden Compass' (UK: The Northern Lights) been a bigger hit in the box office, I could see the name Lyra following a similar path.

My fiancee is all about giving any kids we have distinctively Jewish names. I'm less enchanted with the idea, only because I don't find Hebrew a particularly beautiful sounding language. Ashkenazi Jews traditionally name children after deceased relatives. Good thing I bring a whole family tree full of normal Anglo names to the table.

you must be a big final fan considering its the third in america, but 6 is its real number and of course I remember her!!

I think the wendy thing is rather intresting and shows how a name can go from rare and exotic to run of the mill

and yes to you on the jewish thing (im technically a jew but dont practice) and I have never found the names beautiful. and this is IMHO i dont like the language much

i think it should be something parents should do (me and mrs string did it) when we where picking names we decided to "make fun" of the names to see what may come in the future
 
i wouldn't call a girl emily. tis a long story but basically all growing up i had the names arthur and emily picked out.....then one horrid bitch ruined it!! now i want arthur and merlin(two boys!!)- the OH says no to the babies and definately no to the names.....=-(
 
I would never name a kid after myself ... Andrew or Andy for short ...

i think that is one of the worst names ever ... every time I head the name, whether its directed towards me or not, i cant help but get a mental picture of a 7 yr old boy with no front teeth ... names me cringe
