Hmmm, I don't see "Apple" on the list??!

Tippiechick 12-29-2004 10:41 PM

Where did you get that list?

carol9a 12-29-2004 11:16 PM

Speak for yourselves, I find Groin to be a delightful name for a young man.

Some people should simply not be permitted to reproduce!

Of course, this is from someone who got The Darwin Awards, part 3 for Christmas!

God every Sun. I see 1 year birthdays and see some of the names and scratch my head.

What is wrong with people who name there kids some of these names.

Well of course, My 4 th Cousin was Wyatt, and My Great, Great Grand Mother was Dorcus.:(

Wyatt, OKAY, Famous, Dorcus, god it fit her, dirt was pretty compared to her.:confused:

Wht ever happened to Tom, Harry, Henry Richard, Mary, Sally, Jane!:confused:

honeychile 12-29-2004 11:52 PM

Dorcas is the same name as Tabitha. One is Arabic, and the other is Greek (I think). Both mean "gazelle".

I'll take Dorcas over Bucket any day of the week!!

Tom Earp 12-29-2004 11:57 PM

Whoa, honeychile are you a History Nut also!

If so, I am in love!:)

Bucket, poor kid.:(

DGqueen17 12-30-2004 12:00 AM

I'd rather be Bucket than Crotch.

Tom Earp 12-30-2004 12:07 AM

Well, if you scratch a bucket, you get splinters, scratch a crotch, you get pleasure!:D

Think I will scratch now!:D :)

If Ya Got an itch, well, when in Rome!;)

Wait... you didn't know that I'm a history/genealogy fanatic? I thought everyone did?

I stand by my theory that every pregnant mother should have to take a "how to name a baby" class.

-Nikki, who named her baby born in 2004 a weird Gaelic name

PhoenixAzul 12-30-2004 01:50 AM

While I love the name Sioban (pronounced Shavon), the poor kid would have a rough time in school.

PS: there were kids at my pool/school with these names :
Princess
Precious
My'stique' (poor kid, her name was messed up so often! Esp. by my spanish professor MY STYE Que? )

tunatartare 12-30-2004 02:10 AM

The link says it's a satire, so I'm sure (read: I HOPE) that no one actally named their kids that. Can you just imagine taking your toddler to the playground and seeing him play with some boy his age, and then all of a sudden hearing the boy's mother yell "HEY BEELZEBUB, GET OVER HERE NOW!!!"

Ooh, what's the name? My name is also Gaelic and quite uncommon (Allene). :)

I laughed so hard at this comment!

And Apple is not such a bad name... not compared to Rack, or Plug, or Parsnip Chops.

Love, Marly


PS - Hawkweed sounds like a model citizen. :cool:

LightBulb 12-30-2004 04:59 AM

How do ya like them apples?
 
Check these out!

They misspelled "Orangejello". :( Also, "Shithead" is pronounced "Shih-theed".

(I found this by doing a search for Crystal Chanda Leer, which I had heard before.)

Delivery room nurses should have the first right to veto some of these names.

Currently in my school, we have Jealousy, Kenuassaura and Kemuassaura (brothers, but not twins), and Diamonds (yes, more than one.) One time we had twins, Johnathan and Johnathan (one was pronounced Joe-Nathan.)

WHAT ARE PEOPLE THINKING???

Yes I totally agree. My friends and I keep a list of the culls. Not surprising its getting really long.

PhoenixAzul 12-30-2004 01:24 PM

we had this family of little kids who would come to our pool, and they were pretty close in age. They sort of adopted my brother as their dad (they called him Daddy Scott, it was ADORABLE!), but their names were Nigel and Nijohn, Dijon and Dije' (sp?), and the oldest kid was simply Sam. All really cute kids and well behaved, but sometimes you 1) couldn't tell em apart 2) couldn't yell the right name at the right moment because their names were all so close together! You'd be trying to get Nijohn (who had a tendancy to do fron flips into 2 ft of water!) and you'd yell Nigel.

dzandiloo 12-30-2004 01:25 PM

I think I work for Condescensia...

And I had a girl named "Rotunda" in my HS graduating class. Poor girl. She wasn't big, but it was a totally unfortunate name.

PiPhiGirl2005 12-30-2004 01:42 PM

Funny name story:

I teach gymnastics, and twice a year we have Bring-A-Friend week, where the kids can bring a friend from school or whatever to gymnastics class. At the beginning, we go around and ask the kids what their friends' names are so that the teachers can rememer them during class.

So at our most recent Bring-A-Friend week, I'm sitting in the circle with the kids taking attendance. One of the little girls has a friend with her, and I ask her, "Hannah, can you tell us your friend's name?". Hannah says that her friend's name is Heaven. So I ask Heaven what her last name is, and she says, "Hill." This little girl's name was Heaven Hill!

The girl that I work with was standing behind them and was trying extremely hard to control her giggling!

(For those of you who don't know, Heaven Hill is a brand of extremely cheap liquor.)

Anyway, I guess the moral of the story is, don't name your kids after alcohol! I think being named Jack Daniels would be pretty hard on a boy. ;)

Here's a link that was a link off of the first one: http://www.babycenter.com/babyname/uniquenames2004.html

"Eunike" Baby Names of 2004

The names found near the bottom of the 2004 BabyCenter Baby Names List reveal how far some parents will go to help their child stand out. In fact, the 2004 list contained Eunike, Uniquee, and I'Unique -- all girls' names. The 2004 BabyCenter Baby Names List also shows more variety in girl names, with 9% of girls' parents compared to 6% of boys' parents selecting a name spelled like no other.

Parents who take the inventive approach to naming their child often take inspiration from their own hobbies and interests, as well as wishes for their child's future. Children with these names found on the 2004 BabyCenter Baby Names List are likely to be the only one in the classroom:


Herbs and spices: Curry, Nutmeg, Sorel
Ethnic food: Tahini, Farfalla, Sushi
Drinks: Chianti, Chardonnay, Hennessey
Military: Commander, Jeneral, Appomattox
Repeat after me: YouYou, LooLoo, ChiChi
Brands: Ikea, Disney, Infiniti
Kreativ classics: Kathwren, Aeryk, Maksymilian
Long: Breighanna, Kwynncey, Ayreeanna
Star power: Charysma, Mysteek, Zenith
Peaceful: Zurrenity, Phaith, Ohm
Rambunctious: Reynger, Wrangler, Blazer
Celebrities: Brandeau, Madawna, Bryttanni
Royalty: Umajesty, Quena, Royale
Musical: Tymphani, Symphaney, Lyrick

It always makes me think of "I Love Lucy" when Lucy is trying to decide on baby names:

Lucy : I want the names to be unique and euphonious.

Ricky : OK, Unique if it's a boy and Euphonious if it's a girl!

AOII_LB93 12-30-2004 11:05 PM

I guess I must be a traditionalist, but many of the students where I teach have interesting names:

Dynasty
Destini
Flemisha
Delque (Pronounced Dell-cue)
Princess
Unique
Charda (Pronounced Shar-day)
Jerrisha

And that is just a few...but I would say, Bucket is not a good name...nor is the name Fanny...but only in the UK and Ireland...hehehe.(If you don't know why, ask and I can explain.)

amycat412 12-31-2004 12:02 AM

I remember seeing a college football player last year---might have been Florida State whose name was Craphonso.

And isn't there a football player with the name T.A. - the T. A. standing for Totally Awesome?

What are some people thinking? LOL Anyway, funny names is what gets me thru the constant football mr amycat has on all weekend.

Yeah, Fanny means that ;) in Australia and South Africa too.....
Suffice it to say, the jingle from "The Nanny" where she slipped and "fell on her fanny" is ALWAYS met with roars of laughter.

Haha, the Dean of Students at the University of Pittsburgh is named Jack Daniel. It's great because he always end up quoted in the Pitt News in articles on Greek Life. :D

In this morning's paper in the birth announcements I came across

Summer Keiko Wind.

Poor kid.

Almost as good as my friend's friend's kid: Wave Kalani Rider.
