Fuck. They already ruined Aidan, can't they leave Declan alone? Why must they ruin EVERYTHING?

I found out that a coworker's relative named his/her daughter Italy. I came across a girl named Bosnia in some documents at work the same day. Yesterday I had a cashier at the grocery store named Andromeda.

This is made of wonderful.

Stupid Kid Names

Edit: The comments are pretty funny too.

I have a coworker named Dante, but he spells it like Donta. So I guess it is kind of like Chick-fil-a lol. That is his middle name though. His first name is Destini. Yeah Destiny with an I. Funny enough, one of the girls I attended elementary school with is on my facebook. She named her daughter Destini with an I too. She also always posts shit like "I love my kids. I am proud to be a mom hear me roar." Blech.

I see a bright future for Destini in the pornography industry.

Ugh, why is it that parents always name their kids stuff like "Destiny/Destini" or "Chastity" and expect them not to be strippers? Look, if you name their kid after a trait, the kid will not have that trait. Lil' Madonna is going to be a whore, Lil' Charity will end up bleeding some guy for child support, and I know someone named Loyal who is, unsurprisingly, a backstabbing bitch. There are always exceptions, however. Like I once knew someone named Klymidia, and boy, was that spot on.

I echo the person upthread who wondered what happened to normal names. My best friend is named Mary, and I can't tell you how refreshing that is. Then again, I consistently maintain that people should not have kids without a license, and I think that intending to name your child BobShonda or something should be acceptable grounds for refusing to grant said license.

This blogger Baby Naming Rules made my day.

Went to high school with a guy named Dante, spelled Danta. It was funny whenever he would get called to the principle's office on the P.A. and they'd pronounce his name just like it's spelled.

So like Don-tuh or Dan-tuh? lmao.

I was helping a friend move, and while I was packing up her kitchen I noticed a full color postcard with a freshly baked loaf face on it.

"Welcome baby...Kress"

Like...water-Kress??? (watercress)

FFS...

I should have known, the mother's name was spelled "Ashlee"

From my local newspaper - Knalidge and W'yz. They are brothers.

Most of the names from here:

http://www.babynames.com/boy-names/?

Just a handful of the gems here (excluding a LOT of names since there's so many):

- Abcde (yes, just like the alphabet A-B-C-D-E)
- Huckleberry
- Trapper (like those notebooks I got in grade school?)
- Destino (male version of Destiny?)
- Fairly
- Exodus
- Frenchy
- Zentavious
- Zandy
- Rip
- Pooh (shit you not, this is on there. Of course it's American in origin)

Exodus?! for some reason I think this is rather an awesome name.

Do you think, after all this 50 Shades craze, we will get a baby boom of little Anastasias and Christians?

Probably, although it's disgusting to name your kid after someone you likely jilled off to while you were reading.

It's your hell; you rot in it!

The only "Kaiden" I like is Kaiden Alenko from the Mass Effect series.

Destino is a nice name.

Amen! I could behind a name like Auron. I love Auron from FF X2

Something I've noticed recently....when I look at the list of local births in the paper, I notice when the kid is the offspring of a single Moo or an unmarried couple, it tends to have a kre8ive name. Meanwhile, when I see married people have a kid, the name is usually relatively normal.

Case in point, in yesterday's paper: Born to Slutty McSlutSlut (no duh listed because my guess is she doesn't know who the duh is), a daughter Rhoddalynne. Born to John and Jane Smith, a son Jason.

Does anyone else notice this?

With school being back in session, of course some of the local school class lists are in the paper. These are some of the yoo-neek names from one particular school:

Ravyn

Portia (like Brutus' wife?)

Aric (because E's are so last year)

Ceigan ("Keegan," I think)

Daltton ('cause one T isn't kre8ive)

Gauge

Abbygayle AND Abbigale (in the same class)

Jaymz

Ryleigh

Kamryn

Macaria

Anderson (isn't this a surname?)

Zeniff (Momma couldn't pronounce Zenith without no front teef)

Braelynn

Cael ("Kyle?")

Lethia

Holden

Maddisyn

Bryley (is this even a real name?)

Arieona (thought it was "Areola" at first)

Allistair

Sully

Autumm

Ky'dran

Tonai

Bobbidi (I hope they have no siblings named "Bibbidi" and "Boo")

Tivon

Espn (like ESPN? What Daddy was watching the whole time Moo was giving birth?)
