What would you NOT name your child?

[Hootie]

Yeah, I'd never do that either. I think it's nobel and all, but my ex proved to me what sort of SCARY things could happen later in life...like stealing your father's identity and SSN to gain credit! Not that other, more respectable sons would do that...but it COULD (and does) happen.

SAD!

i would also not allow my child to name themself, or have an older sibling name them for me....unless that child was old enough to know that "claire" is a name, and "tic tac" is not...

my mom was named by her 9 yr old sister who was spoiled b/c my g-parents thought she would be their only child (rough pregnancy), and they wanted to make her "feel better"....*coughs* stupid! *coughs, coughs*

so, my mom is named after a very popular doll at the time....the "terri lee" doll......

i will never understand ppl naming their kids "moon" and "starry", etc get a dog. have fun naming that ....and hello peekbo (sp?) the skiier??? never let a 2 yr old name themself!!!!

as far as what they want to call themselves later in life, fine. a nickname won't be yelled out on a loud speaker for the whole world to hear at their graduation. (yeah, i'm talkin to you, "buttsex")

Hush yourself because Picabo is a Native American word meaning of shining waters and is the name of a town in Idaho. her aprents let her chose her name at two. Don't think Kitso and I won't have buffalo and musk oxen trample your no shoe wearing Kentucky ass.

I love you Mon

P.S. I went to school with a Starleen and a Rainbow Moon...and my nickname is Buffy, but my friends call me Miss Thang, imagine THAT yelled at law school graduation "J.D. Miss Thang Buffy" I think NOT.

Sounds like the Phoenix family. We all remember actor River Phoenix right?

Well he had syblings with the names, Tree, Hart, and Lake (he might have had more but I can't remember )

Actually, his siblings are named Rain Joan of Arc (now Rainbow), Joaquin (aka Leaf), Libertad Mariposa (literally Liberty Butterfly), and Summer Joy. Still just as unusual, though.

My niece is Emerald Grace...named after two of her great-grandmothers. We call her Emmy. My other two nieces are Kayla and Gretchen.

I have a cousin named Amber Sunrise.

I went to high school with a girl named Starlight, she went by Star.

My friend has three newphews, Keegan, Skylar, and Doran.

And as far as unusual spellings...my name is Rebekah....not as uncommon as I once thought, but still not common enough to find my name on anything. It is, however, the Biblical spelling of the name...

[alsparky]

Family friends told their 3-year-old that he could name his baby sister.... He chose to name her Strawberry Chocolate.

The parents quickly decided it was not a good idea and talked him into Brenna, but I thought that was hysterical!!! For the first year of the poor kid's life I'd ask my mom, how's Strawberry Chocolate?

Rob Morrow, Dr. Joel Fleischman on Northern Exposure, and his wife Debbon named their daughter Tu.

Tu Morrow...

They should be taken out back and beaten senselessly for their atrocious naming!

I hate Asian names and would never name my sons an Asian name. They're hard to pronounce and people assume you're Chinese if they read it.

You make no sense. Oh and hey, Jesse Jackson called. He said to tell you, You're not black!

lol, i thought you had me on ignore. i don't make sense to you because you don't any semblance of working intellligence. all you say is pure garbage and you hide behind an internet persona when in reality you are really just a hoe in real life. is this all of the bullshit you can think of to say to me? all you do is reach because you're not intelligent enough and are too weak minded to think of anything else. there goes that psuedo-intellect again. clearly you're running out of material and you've exhausted whatever minimal mental reserves you've had. oh yeah, I AM smarter than you and that is evident in every post i quote you on.

I look at your posts (even though you're on ignore) because I like making you look dumb. I put you on ignore again when my point is made and I'm bored.

Again you say things that don't make sense. I'm a hoe? Yeah OK slut. Pseudo intellect? That was a joke I made about myself. You have to actually come up with something smart to say if you're going to insult me.

Insulting someone's intelligence with a grammatically incorrect sentence? Now that's funny.

[Rudey]

Dear Breathesgelatin and co.

the above was a joke. There was no harm intended in it. Not one Asian person has asked me to remove it. I also don't think you're Asian, but correct me if I'm wrong.

Coincidentally, no matter what, whenever someone feels insulted by what I say and politely asks me to remove it, I do.

I am not encouraged by others to do what I do. I am funny. I am smart. I have my faults, but not in those areas. I don't care if you think I'm not, because I think I am and if I'm getting my kicks then fine.

There are jokes - I don't mind people making jokes about being Jewish. CC1GC makes jokes about me being a nerdy Jewish kid and playing on the stereotype. I think that's funny because there is no harm intended. Then there is something more serious when someone is out there, being ignorant, and filled with hate - something that Cashmoney does.

Tangent: I will keep posting, over and over, that he is a racist and antisemite because there is absolutely no other way his posts can be interpreted. You cannot do a single thing about that. I am violating no rule and if you delete, I will post. John won't waste his time dealing with your foolishness either. If you try and make this me against him, fine. Do it and waste your time. I'm telling you what I will do and your "discussion" on the mod forum about me is a great usage of bandwith. But I digress.
