Ridiculous Baby Names
GLIMMER?!
Oh TB.
So, in other dystopian baby name news, what do you guys think of Offred?
I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
Re: Ridiculous Baby Names
Yes, I'm kidding!
Of course! Astonishing is too formal for everyday.
This makes me want to slap someone. I honestly believe there should be a counsil in each county who review baby names as the birth certificate forms come in.
Stan, I won't be happy until you and ManStan agree to name at least one future spawn Foxface.
I changed my name
My mom (hospital administrator) has reported moms to child protective services for giving their kids crazy names.
I had a student whose first name was Precious, and her last name was the same as a certain Courtney who played on Friends. And she had a sister named Pleasure. Not even joking.
I had Pleasure in a class when I was subbing before, and got a phone call for her to go to the office. I asked the person on the phone if it was a joke, and they just laughed and said "the only joke is the mom who named her that."
I worked with a girl in high school named Princess.
I'm kind of more offended that one of my sisters named her kid Bella. Yes, because of twilight.
*I have not seen or read a single twilight thing. But I also avoid Nicholas Sparks like the plague.
I have come across some crazy names throughout the years .... my favorite is first name Sparkle.
Makes me believe this girl was ment to work a pole.
I've loved the name Bella since high school. Kristen Stewart has ruined the name for me. :-(
Photo bomb, yeah!
As much as I LOVE Hunger Games...I don't think I could use any of them for a baby name.
I told my H if he's deployed and we have a daughter I'm going to name her Katniss....but I was kidding.
I had a little girl at my work the other day named Speshul.
/facepalm

That's an effing joke, right? Why would any one do that to their child??
Lurker coming out of hiding....
A friend of ours is naming their son Dragan, as in fire breathing.
And I thought I had seen it all teaching in an inner city high school. I had a le-a (proonounced ladasha), and a shithead as well (pronounced shatheed). No, those names aren't urban myths. I did, in fact, have both of them in class at one point or another. I also once had a student who was so embarassed at the spelling of his name that on the first day he came up to me and whispered "my name is pronounced elijah" when I looked confused he told me to look at the roster and there I saw it "Elishia". It must have been fairly common to mispronounce his name.
Pemeberly Jane.
Yeah, I get it, but that doesn't make it right.
