Never....ever....ever would I name a child that. Ever.
A youngster celebrating a birthday has their name and age up in lights near here this week, just because their parents held his/her birthday experience at a local establishment. The name is:

SeMyn.

Age 6.

Lucky Child. Happy Birthday.

I used to like the name Gabriel until a Gabriel assisted one of my boyfriends in cheating on me. And just recently, a different Gabriel did the same thing to a friend of mine. And yes, both of them were aware of the relationships and actually knew and hung out with us prior to the cheating.

I hate that name.

And how much do you want to bet the pronunciation is Shay-meen, or something like that?

I think a cute name for twins would be Dasani and Aquafina.

Vaginae and SeMyn are a match made in bad name heaven.

Poor, poor children.

^^ Saw the original. This isn't too surprising knowing the areas the parents and grandparents are from. His brother's name is Hunter, so more normal yet still on the same line.

What's even sadder is if he has a sister named Houston Astros Stratemeyer.

Oh, dear God.

Krimson Tyde?

Five dollars says the parents never even went to college, much less Alabama.

I got that reference They are a sad baseball team, but I like the little train that chugs around their dome every time they hit a home run.

Lifted directly from the article:

"To people speaking negatively about us naming him Krimson, it's not their child nor family member so if they have nothing nice to say they don't need to say nothing at all," Steele said

-so you're probably right! That psycho who poisoned our Auburn trees named his kids Bear and Crimson.

The woman who sits in the cubicle next to mine just put in a phone order for flowers to be delivered to a family member (maybe her sister-in-law?) who just had a baby today. The message she wanted to send with the flowers included the baby's name, and when she said it, I was happy to hear it was a normal name. And then she spelled it:

Jerimy.

Why is that necessary? Even Google asked me, "Did you mean: Jeremy?"

Another example of imagining how a name will look in the newspaper. I saw an obituary where the lady's grandchildren were listed:
Maya, Olivia, Espn and Mia.
I'm guessing it is pronounced like Estevan?
