OT: Stupid names

[PosterGirlX]

Patially because this board has kinda sucked today and partially because of a family i met today. I met a family at a preschool today that named their kids: Beach, Tide, Waver, and Reefer. REEFER! For a child. Now thats just wrong.

I know some other kids that are Canyon, Forest, and Nature. The one on the way is to be named Ocean.

Where do people come up with this stuff?

[Keepinthefaith]

This thread reminds me of the Phoenix kids; River, Summer, Joaquin..whos real name is Leaf or something.. And the poor, poor Zappa kids! Bob Geldof and Paula Yates/Michael Hutchence didn't do a whole lot better either.

[wannabe_LDer]

lol, a friend of my had two friends call ocean and deep so when she called on them it was like:.. deep ocean

[kristin22]

I went to high school with girls named Patience, Princess, and Peaches (they weren't related...just all strange names). I've also seen Sh*thead...pronounced (sha theed)...yeah, pretty sad.

[Catherine]

I met someone named Ocean a couple years ago and I actually really like the name lol.

In grade school there were a couple of strange ones.... Sevda, Star, Adassa, and coming in at number one... Badger. Yes, that is correct. A heavily built nocturnal mammal, typically having a gray and black coat and a white-striped head. I think his parents were on drugs.

[XDaysofmylifeX]

Rain and Ocean is pretty names.I also like the names Romemehale and Destiny.

[Hayles]

From what I have understood Joaquin is his real name, but he changed it to Leaf because he wanted a nature name like his siblings, and then later changed it back to Joaquin when they left the cult or whatever it was.

[Emotionless]

I think Love is cute for a middle name ... but, half the names kids have these days ahhh, poor children.

[JanLuvsAJnBrok]

people name their kids so weird.

[Mrs. AJ McLean]

I like the name Ocean, but I don't know about the other ones. There was a little girl at my moms work her name was Lady La-La-La, and alittle boy name Lucky.

I wonder where they come up with these names too.

I thought of the same thing when I saw the thread.
I like the Phoenix kids names.

Joaquins name however IS really Joaquin, but when he was young he hated that no one could pronounce his name, and all his brothers and sisters had like nature names - so he told everyone to call him Leaf. For example, in Parenthood and alot of his early works, he is credited as Leaf Phoenix and then when he came back to film in To Die For he took Joaquin back.

What a hot name.
:D

hey! my name is Ocean..and i am so proud of my grandma for naming me...lol..although it sounds alittle bit weird when i first tell my name to ppl,it has a reaaally deep meaning behind it,and everybody who knows me well enough to know,says that that name really does suit me...

and here(in turkey)ever name has a meaning so it has to happen after a while.

You got to it before me.

But yeah that's the story, I'm a nerd.

PS rockdastreet OCEAN is a beautiful name!

[dau24]

over here (venezuela) you can hear names like 'usnavy' or 'usmail', though if you don't know english you never figure they come from 'us navy' and 'us mail', lol ...

my name's pretty weird, daulah, but i love it :)

[bsbfictionwriter]

I love unique names, granted, some parents can take it to the extreme though. That's why we chose Veronica for our daughter, not too many Veronica's in the world and the chances of there being another Veronica in her class is pretty small.

Of course, she was born before the group, The Veronicas, came onto the scene.

[BadGirl28]

I love the name Veronica!
It's so classy and pretty.

[YouCanHateMeNow]

My sister went to school with a girl named Shasta and she had a brother named RC and sister named Sunkist.

I knew a girl named Kilwacha. And my sister also went to school with a boy named Friendly Friendly

[bazangin]

I suppose it could be a lot worse, but at my highschool, one of the teachers first name is "Garland". And it's even worse because he's a guy.

[rockdaastreett]

[WannaBreatheYou]

I was going to say that. I was a big fan of River's back in the day and I remembered reading about "Leaf" changing his name from Joaquin because he wanted to be more like his siblings.

[mylifeiskaos]

I like the name Rain, but I know a girl who spells it Rayne and I would spell if that way if I ever called my daughter Rayne. (which I probably wouldn't)

[kristin22]

I just remembered another: My dad has a friend named Rich Money and his sister's name is Penny.

[rockdaastreett]

[journalistic]

I don't know about first names but I just saw the last name Lesbo, and it was the last name of a male Marine. I was like...wow.

There have been cool ones though. Like Rambo and Youngblood. :)

[*Little*]

I love "word" names, and I love reading about the random things some people name their kids. :laugh:

[profoundfool]

Gwyneth Paltrow named her daughter Apple, which is cute.

However, Shannyn Sossamon has WEIRD taste in names. She named her child Audio Science. That's just mean.

[AjsRebelPrincess]

my sister's friends two of them are named Winter and Bunny

[nickschick]

My mum knows a kid called Red Robin

[nickschick]

When I was 14 I was adamant i was calling my son:

Nick Brian AJ Kevin Howie

[MyAnswerIsQ]

parents are definitely finding more unique names to name their children..my name is cherise and i never seem to find too many with it but i was doing student teaching in a kindergarten classroom this semester and some of the names of the kids were: Zalea, Mackenna, and Hiyori [he - yo- dee]. but i like the uniqueness of names, i liked growing up and not having more than one cherise in my classes lol.

when I was 14 I wanted to call my children: One, Two, Three and Four. No kidding
