Stallion... would be a cool boy’s name, but I wonder if it had been inflicted on a girl.

Most of those sound like racehorses.

'NZ judge orders 'odd' name change (9-year-old named 'Talula Does the Hula from Hawaii')"

I guess this ruling puts a damper on naming my kids after the Planets of the Solar System.

In some societies, the judge's last name may sound odd too.

And I thought I was weird for liking the boys names Wyatt, and Winston.

I sort of like “Yeah Detroit.”

“Le détroit” means “the strait” (narrow connecting waterway) in French. It sounds like Dutoit, which is a proper French surname.

As an adult that was picked on a lot as a kid, I think these parents could use some kind of daily humiliation combined with physical trauma.

...and sterilization.

What does O.crnia mean?? I see that they accepted Oceania.

I wonder because I named one of my daughters Oceanna.

“The baby’s name was Born Dancin’. We gave the baby some of our wine, red, whites and blue, and spoke seriously to her. But it didn’t do any good. “

She's never heard Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue"? ANZACS LIVE for the mud and the blood and the beer.

Back when I was in the Air Force I knew a person named “North East West.”

A pox on, and a steel-toed boot to the teeth to egomanicac parents that use their child and their name as some public statement or personal joke.

“Midnight Chardonnay”

That’s actually kind of cool.

I knew a woman named Raven (unfortunately she was very blonde or it would have been perfect), and someone I know named their girl Alchemy.

I don’t really have a problem with what people name their children. To me it is a sign of a free society and yes there will be some people who take it to extremes.

I knew a lady that lived in Bulgaria under communist rule. She said that when you had a baby the government would bring you a list of names you could pick from.

Remember as conservatives we are supposed to be against government oppression and intrusion.
