Post subject: Parents who should be shot: Stupid names for their children |
  |
|
| Copy-Pasted from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/04/04/metallica/ : |
A Swedish couple is battling the country's National Tax Authority for the right to call their daughter "Metallica", the BBC reports.
In Sweden, both first names and surnames have to be officially approved. On the banned list are "offensive, unsuitable or inappropriate" titles, as well as those which might "cause discomfort for the one using it".
Full Story....

| Copy-Pasted from http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/02/03/us_parents_give_birth/ : |
In the proud tradition of naming one's offspring after entire football teams, or a favourite brand of supercar, one US dad has decided to name his son after a software upgrade.
Jon Blake Cusack and wife Jamie, of Holland, Michigan, will certainly be spending many a sleepless night debugging little Jon Blake Cusack Version 2.0 and - in about 16 years' time - having a very hard time explaining to their unfortunate offspring whose bright idea this was in the first place.
Full Story....

I wonder about these idiots and what could be going through their heads. Sticking a stupid name on a child should be considered abuse.

Hey-ya Joygant. Welcome to the BGB.
Some of the names you have listed are not so bad, Kitty, Rose Ivy (though not the best when put together), and Skye.. I know people with those names. And a few of the others are unusual spellings of known names.. 'Khrystyne' for example. I have a cousin named 'Moneeka' (Monica), and she has sisters Rachanna and Kashnee, both of which are hybrid names.
Though I have to agree with Shanetris, Quanyshia, Deshontay and the such. Strange to say the least.

Isn't that just like a everyday Hillybilly girl name, like which: "Miss Kitty Rose Ivy do ya mean, the one with the ferrets or the one with the still?" |

I've always been told there are no 'correct' spellings for names, there are traditional spellings and common/recognised spellings, but not a correct one. A name is simply something to distinguish you from someone else, and it can be whatever your parents, or you if you chose to change it, be, no matter how strange it may seem.
