My friend is a teacher and she has a kid in her class named Precious. She says he gets his ass kicked constantly. Parents that want to do that kind of crap should change their own names instead of messing up their kids lives.

You know, I hated my name all elementary school, but as I got older, people started to tell me my name was cool, and now there isn't a person who meets me who forgets my name.

The family who lived in my house previous to me, had a daughter named "MyTrezsha"

Which I can only assume is ebonics for "MyTreasure".

I hear fucked up made up names nearly every day. I knew black folk liked to give their kids fucked up names, but the shit is out of control here. I think its gotten to the point where it a fucking competition to see just how fucked up and mispelled you can get them.

Who was it who had the radio show with the game called "Black baby name or house plant?" You had to call in and guess if the name they threw out was a real black kids name, or a fucking name of a houseplant. I think it was Mancow, it was funny shit.

We have these two dillholes in Detroit on the radio who have a game called "stump the white guy". They get some crazy ass hoodrat to call in and say a sentence, if the white guy from the burbs on the other end cant decode it, the black guy wins a prize.

If I had a dollar for every time I had to say "come again?", I would be filthy rich.

Define "unusual".

My name is Kaloyan. This is the name of a Bulgarian king Kaloyan who killed the 4 crusade and expanded the Bulgarian empire to it's mximum.

If some day I have children...
If it's a boy I will call him "Kubrat". Another brave Bulgarian king who killed all his enemies and drinked wine from the cut head of the Bizantine emperor Nikifor.
If it's a girl, I will call her "Elena" as Elena of Troya.

If I get more kids I would call them, Skeletor, Death, Pain, Disease, BA Barrakus, I Have The Biggest Cock (no one would offend himself by having this name), Give Me All Your Money, Mr President, etc...

So, what's unusual in these names? I also could call my children something like "www.put-your-site-here.com". It would be like a permanent advertising :)

i wouldn't advise him to fly to israel with elal. or go through passport control. or stay at a hotel. or pay at a restaurant. basically, if she calls him hitler he will only be able to visit belgium, austria and france. or stay home in germany.

here in the middle east, after the peace treaty between israel and egypt, quite a few egyptians called their child "begin" and after the peace talks between rabin and arafat, quite a few in the arab world called their son "rabin". these kids must be a bit unpopular today.

hell look at some of the names african american parents choose for their children!

shaniqua resida campo phonique jones

etc

devon love
etc

ROFL!

that would have to be the worst name iv ever heard of. i cant even imagine. maybe just plain 'nut sac' or 'douche bag' would be worse. :\

i had a friend named barney, which wasnt that bad till the big fucking purple fuckwit showed up on teh scene, went down hill real fast since then for poor barney. now we call him "barndolph"

Does Octavian is Unusual name?

Mom.....:mad:

And what does Swedens liberal porn laws have to do with what they're "allowed" or not to name their children? Mybe you think it's their name laws that is known as the Amber bill? :winkwink:

Names that could offend people or cause discomfort for the person himself (like hitler, fucker, cock) are not allowed, but also names of trademarks, protected literary- or art work names (like Asterix, Superman), some commonly recognized foreign surnames (like Donadoni).

This is just a few points, but it's mostly about protecting kids from getting trouble because of the name.


A few names that got refused recently:

Asterix
Lovejoy
Donadoni
Montana

50


and yes

We've got a good unusal name for our kid to be born. But I ain't tellin, someone will steal it.

My full first name is Sarah Jayne and even that confused the teachers at school enough when it came to learning how to spell my name. They kept talling me Jayne isn't spelled with a Y. Gosh knows what it must be like for the kids with really unsual names. My sister is called Bekky with two 'k's . That still gives her hell.

hahaha, there is a radio show here where one of the dj's imitates Joe Peschi playing other characters. The best one is Joe Peschi as Beaver on leave it to Beaver.

Ward: Beaver, you look depressed are the other boys picking on you?

Beaver in Joe Peschi voice: Are the other boys pickin' on me. You named Beaver for Christ's sake you sadistic fuck. Why didn't you just get it over with and name me vaginahead you fucking asshole.

It's hilarious! :1orglaugh

My children have unusual names.. not whacked out off the wall names.. but not common names. Nice names that 50 other kids in the class won't go "what?" when the teacher or friends call it.

I gave my twins different names. Kai and Killian. They are definately living up to their names, both are very precocious little people for 8.

I wonder if any 'Klozov' family would really name their son Oliver...

depends on how unusaul it is...

Hairy child that took forever to come out....No

A ethnic name that is not the norm among whites...sure

But Superman? gee...yeah lets seal the poor kids fate in one day

I'm gonna name mine after drugs.

Propecia, Celebrex, and Aleve are my first choices.

You know this is a hard one, I can see both views of the naming sitch...
Really you should be allowed to name your kid anything, or at least in America. I can see other countries are not as free to some ideas.
But really Superman, or whatever the Swedish name is, is not that bad. I mean they even said it was going to be his middle name. That will barely even be said, except for by his family, so I dont really see the problem.
And if the parents want to name their child VCR, or Microwave more power to those freaks.

I remember hearing a story about a man in England, who after having so much trouble with his bank legally changed his name to something like
'BankOfLondon areabunchofcocksuckers' or something like that and then closed his $.05 account and made them write him out a cheque for the 5 cents in to his newly changed name..

Just classic
