If you had a baby as a teenager

what do you think you would have named it?

I always think it's funny to look back at the names I liked.  Some of them are not so bad, some of them are woof/ wtf.  

Dehko, we know your answer is Jem.

Re: If you had a baby as a teenager

  • So I'll go ahead and answer my own question...

    Prepare your motion sickness bags.  My kid names for my 10th grade child development class:

    Jenna Brittany

    and

    Jonathan Drake

    WTF.  Apparently I wanted future porn stars and rappers.

  • God, this is embarassing to admit.

    I was set on the name Blissful Ariadne. Ick. I would've called her Bliss, which isn't terrible, but not good.

  • In my child growth and development class freshman year we had to carry eggs around for a week, and I am just remembering this.... I actually picked twins!  There was a basket with boy, girl, twins, etc..  I was the only one in the class with two!  I remember they were actually boy girl twins and I named them Niklas (after my favorite hockey player at the time) and I can't remember the girls name.  Also thinking back to that time we had twin girls in the pre-school class the school ran, and their names were Kelsey and Hannah.  Kinda funny that I ended up with a twin named Hannah and that I had twin eggs back in HS! 

    But for a girl I have no clue what I would have named her! 

  • I never had a specific boy name that I liked, but I was convinced I would someday name a girl Aubrianna Morgan.  Definitely no longer a fan...

  • Tristan, Kennedey and Gabrianna.
  • Girl: Kylee

    Boy: Zach

  • I always loved the name Madison. I don't hate it now but it's way too popular.
  • My boyfriend (in hs) wanted to name our kids Destiny Hope and Dustin Keith (Keith was a family name)...I wasn't terribly fond of Destiny Hope back then and hate it now. I liked Dakota, nn Koty, for either sex.
  • I named my "baby think-it-over" doll from 11th grade Elizabeth Kathleen. Not bad. Kathleen was my mom's name and will still be the middle name if I ever have a girl.

    I babysat a little boy in 9th grade and his name was Tyler Justin. I loved it. I was pretty hooked on the name Tyler for a while.

    I bet if I could remember my favorites from junior high, they'd be way worse. haha

    Bahaha!

    We also did the "egg" experiment and I named my egg Emma Ruth.  I got made fun of so much. Shortly thereafter, Emma was the name of the baby on Friends and it became super popular.  No longer interested.

  • I was big on Alexis, Lexi, etc type names.

    I want to say I named my "egg baby" Zoe back in the day, but I can't say that for sure.  I wish I could remember 100%.

    I can't think of any boy names that were floating in my head as a teenager.

  • I loved the names Emma Breann and Aiden Micah when I was in high school. I named my Yorkie Emma when I got her after I graduated and my mom said I was wasting a good grandchild's name on a dog lol. We used Breann as Tessa's middle name though :-) I loved the name Aiden before the trend started after seeing it used for the little boy in the movie "The Ring". Then, the trend started and my godbrother named his son Aiden Michael so it was out. 
  • I never had a boy name, but I loved the name Rose.  It could have worked, but I'm not sure if I still like it now.
