Is this 4Real?

Haha that's kind of fun. I personally would love some crazy name, as I said earlier, but I would be worried my child would get picked on or something, so I wouldn't do it.

Oh that's awful. I'm all for strange and exotic names, but Superman? Honestly. Spiderman is pretty bad too. There was a Facebook group that was like, "If this many people join this group my finaceé will let me name our second child Spiderman." Needless to say she dumped his ass.

Anyways, I like funny names sometimes... though I do feel bad for the person that is the owner of that name... there's a real estate person (err, it's 5am and the title has escaped me) in my city named "George Georgopoulos"

lol second child? She was stupid enough to have one child with that guy?

Some people wanted to name their baby "@"
But it kind of has a cute reason. 4real and Superman don't.

But I do think parents who give kids odd names are wankers. Everything from people who just give odd names like Apple and Kal-el, to people who use normal names and spell them stupid like Ambaaah (I shit you not, my mother taught a girl with that name).

Hahhaha, that's horrible, but sort of funny at the same time. the Ambaaah part. hahahah wow.


It makes me think of an episode of Best Week Ever on VH1, and everyone was talking about the weird ass names they've been giving their kids, and Patton Oswalt made a comment that has stuck with me forever. He was like "What are celebrities doing these days? Do they open up a dictionary and pick the first two words they see and name their kid that way? Like they open it to 'STeelwool' and 'Wombat' STEELWOOL WOMBAT! THAT'S YOUR NAME"

but seriously though...


there were two kids, not from my area, but their last name was Rhea (like ree-ya) and they named their kids Beta and Diah... yep. Diah Rhea. that's fucking disgusting on the parents part

aw, that is kinda cute. and personally, I don't think '@' would be such a bad name, it'd be kinda cool, but I would never name a kid that.

a woman I knew named her daughter "armandea" after the character "armand' from Interview With a Vampire... but I always thought that was kinda cool, haha. and at least it sounds like a real, albeit weird, name.

at one point I wanted to have four kids, named Gretta, Johnny, Gareth, and i can't remeber the fourth one's name but it was a boy... so fairly normal names.
then I wanted to name them Arthur, Lan, and Gareth. but then I decided that I didn't like the name Arthur, and Lancelot was kind of a big tough jerk in the story, so that wouldn't work.
I still love the name Gareth though. and Lan reminds me of a character from another book, full name Lavan, not related to King Arthur, so I could still use that.

sorry, that was a bad tangent haha. but oh well.

For years now, my sister has decided that her kids are to be named "Scaffolding" and "Pharmacy".

Pure evil, I'm telling you.

At least Pharmacy can go by Macy. But Scaffolding is just screwed. That's so mean.

I heard a story, one of my co-worker's family members works in the neo-natal ICU, and they get a lot of crack babies in there. Including one named Crack Cocaine.

At least it won't be hard to Social Services to spot that there's a problem there.

I have a Great Aunt Anil.


And I'm totally serious.
