Ugh, I think people need to just go back to biblical names.....

So I was reading a couple articles about naming babies.

http://www.freakonomics.com/2012/02/28/bad-news-for-people-with-hard-to-pronounce-names/

and all I could think was "god damn, what is wrong with people?" I don't think this problem is isolated to white trash parents.

In light of these disturbing names, I propose we go back to just naming people after figures from the bible, who's with me?

My name's Jesus......Are you happy?

Mine's already biblical.

Javier/Xavier Mistranslation of bright/house in Latin and the named shared with Francis Xavier

Nah. The weirder the better.

yeah. let's all have the same names.....

If I ever have kids, I'll probably name them something a little old fashion that isn't used much anymore.

" Blayde The extra Y in there makes it 10 percent sharper. And don't fuk with Blayde's brother, Nyfe."

That's rich, rosebud.........

I don't care if my fake kids hate me, they are going to be named Beulah and Tallulah.

Mine's olde English. But yeah, I'm a little tired of Brayden and Jayeden, shw'niqua, etc.

No. Having a large variety in names is a good thing.

I was named after a Saint...

Saint Nick :D

Can't say I care that much. People can name their kids w/e they want, just for the kids sake don't make it anything that they're going to get made fun of at school because of

People just need to go back to naming their kids somewhat normal names. Unique names were neat back when nobody had them but that seems to be the new thing now. Now I hear what all these kids are named and I've never heard of any of these names before in my life.

i, too, have noticed the stupid ass names people have been coming up with. i was watching Maury the other day and there was a woman on there named Pancake. yes, Pancake was her f*cking first name.

[QUOTE="Aljosa23"]New names are cool! If anything, I dislike names based off locations. Calling your kid "Florida" or "London" deserves a slap. :P

Some english speaking people I've met have a really hard time pronouncing my name.

To this day I wonder why the english translation for Guilherme is William (or vice-versa). I guess according to the freakonomics I'd be doomed working elsewhere.

lol Silly Americans.

we have this distant relative who named his girl nadia comaneci.mind you,the whole thing is the girl's first name.

If I have a son I am totally naming him Adolf!

If I have a daughter, she will be named Bathory!

I dont get people wo name their girls after cars/ Porsher, Mercedes....andthe latest one thats gained traction over in the states. Skylar...

Its usually parents by parents who couldnt afford these brands, I guess coping mechanisms differ from person to person.

It just sets the kid up for a life of correcting people on how to say or spell his/her name.

What's even more narcissistic is parents who pass on hyphenated last names to their kids...

Can't believe someone would name their kid Blayde. Giving them a weird name won't change how mustard tastes.

Can we also use names on the bible as well as in the bible? In which case I will be James.

Biblical names and Saint names. Like Ignatius which just happens to be the name of someone on this forum.
