As a teacher of many years I'ves come to the conclusion that most parents who give their children 'creative' names tend to be shallow and self-centered. Here are some real names I've come across: (twin girls) Button & Bobbin, (sisters) Brooklyn, Bronx and Yonkers, (boy) Dawn Day, (girl) Pity, Maedysin (Madison), (boy) Blarney, (sister, brothers) Sierra, Mojave, Yosemite, (boy) Sha-nana, (Sugar) Shugah
I saw a checkout girl once whose name was Sinsemilla.
True story - I swear.
My children have 'unusual' names. Are you suggesting that since I didn't name then John, and jane that I am a shallow self centered parent? I have an unusual name as well.......
Sonia (mine pronounced sauna)
Heaven Leigh (together pronounced heavenly)
Damian Michael (named after two priests one ficticious and one real)
Cora Mae (named after my great grandmother)
Gabriel James (biblical and his father's first name)
Noah Angel (we were sooo praying for a girl as we thought this would be our last baby. So I used the 'angel' that I wanted as the girl's first name as his middle name)
Kitara Simone ( My best friend as a child was Kitara Simone was my husband's youngest sister that died at birth)
Still trying to get over the shock of having a great-niece born 2 weeks ago to a very rebellious and immature niece who had the audacity to call this precious little one.....
"Abracadebra". Sad, self centered and short sighted to say the least.
