Never begin a first name with the syllable “La-” or “Da-” or “Ka-” or “Ta-” and never put a capital letter in the middle of a name.

I named my kid “Oliver Boliver Butt”

It was a toss up between that and “Marvin O’gravel Balloonface”

Was I wrong?

I would add: Giving a common name with one accepted spelling a different spelling. “Maddisyn” instead of Madison, for example (my cousin did this with the name Emily for her daughter).

Actually I dont understand what the problem is.

My parents could never get our names straight

It was always “Bleepdang diddly darn KIDS!”

Prison attracts the names Dashawn, Rashawn, and Rayshawn. Its a proven fact. Parents should be aware of this evil force and protect their children by skipping those choices.

Traditional names had meanings, now virtually lost. There are still a scattering of Biblical names out there, and a few folks who carry on names of ancestors in their memory.

I have an outline for a novel or screenplay I hope to bring to fruition someday. The names of the two main characters are Ruby and Tirzah. I think those are beautiful names.

If your last name was Freud would it be wrong to name your son Pink?

Would it be even worse if his mother were Asian?

We are trying to come up with a good baby name, and having so much fun with making up atrocious ones. Our last name is an actual word so we can make some pretty good doozies. Don’t worry - we wouldn’t give them to an actual baby.

Friends of ours have two daughters. “Annie and Clarabelle”.

Anyone with young children will know the significance....

They didn’t realize it until it was too late...

If I had a daughter i would name her Take. So for the rest of her life she would be known as...Miss.Take.

Believe me kids will still make fun of your name. I was Lucas Pukus, Lucas Mucus.
