Are these baby names too much? ?

Question

I like the name Reagan Cobain for a boy and for a girl, I'm really liking the name Heike (like the German synchronized diver in this year's Olympics).

Do you think my kids will get made fun of if one has Nirvana's frontman's last name for his middle, and a German name completely uncommon in the US?

Answer 1

cool names that your kid might like as an adult

Answer 2

Well Hieke maybe a bit wierd if your from an english speaking country but Reagan Cobain doesn't sound to bad by the time they hit there teen's Nirvana will be long gone its like Queen etc in today's society alot of old people remember them but most of the young kids don't really know them all that well and i doubt to many could name a few in their band. It sounds like a good name however and i doubt you called be "bagged' out for having Cobain in your name as he was a legend.

Answer 3

I like Reagan Cobain for a boy.  Not that many people will know is middle name so it shouldn't be a problem.  I don't know how to pronounce that girls name, but I am a big fan of German names.  I was watching the olympics and there was a boy names Arkady and I really liked that, and a german swimmer named Britta.  Good Luck

Answer 4

I think you should rethink those names because remember if they are difficult to say so have difficult way of spelling they are going to have trouble they're whole lives. So maybe think of some more simple names as a backup plan. Remember your kids are going to live with those names for the rest of they're lives so pick wisely. Maybe even pick a name that has a special meaning. And look up the meanings of the names you like because some names have strange and unpleasant meaning. Just a suggestion. I hope this advise helps you!:)  

Answer 5

I like the fact that you want to name them unusual and more un-used names. I don't think they'll get made fun of at all. They might actually think it's kind of cool.

Answer 6

To be honest, I think every child gets made fun of for something at one point in their life. It's unavoidable. Name your kids what you would like to name them, and give them love and support that's all that matters.

If you're still a ways away from having kids, you may even change your mind by then. Who knows!  

Answer 7

If I had a girl I wanted to name her Reagan! I love it. We decided on Hana (Ha-nuh) for a girl and ended up with a boy! Either way I think they are both great names. Kids could make fun of them no matter what name you give them so dont worry about it. Give them the name you think fits them the best and as long as you build your childs self esteem they will end up ok!

Answer 8

I think that Reagan Cobain is fantastic. Curt Cobain was huge, and was amazing. People can't make fun of your child for having good music taste, and for having one of the best guitarist's ever's last name. I wouldn't worry about that.

As for Heike, I don't think it's so bad. You may want that as a middle name, or an English/American middle name. Just in case your child does get made fun of, they can easily pull of going by a middle name. I don't think there will be a problem with either name, though.

Good luck!

Answer 9

Cobain was a druggy - how about going with a first name that references this: Crack Cobain.

Answer 10

i like Regan for a girl and Cobain i think is a cute first name actually!

Cobain Michael ?

Reagan Cate

Answer 11

I think that personally Reagan is a girl name-very beautiful, and Heiki is more of an athletic name for a boy.  They are both interchangable though and I am loving them both.  I am having twins myself, and I need some baby names.  These are beautiful, but I love:

Savannah Marie

Caitlyn Miranda

Bailey Hannah

Nicholas Kevin

Austin Michael

William Gregory

Beautiful names that I don't think will be made fun of.  They aren't completely unique, but they aren't extremely popular.  

Answer 12

Yes depends in what country you live.  If in United States it would be uncommon but some people like names that are different from others.

Answer 13

I'm not again Cobain as a middle name...but Reagan is a girl's name in my opinion so yes, I see him getting picked on. As for the girl's name I prefer Heidi

Answer 14

They are both really cool. A neat middle name could be Dashall or Vysor. Best Wishes!

Answer 15

I like the name Reagan, everyone will associate your child with Curt Cobain & most likely will make fun of him. Heike? That's outrageous. I honestly don't think any of those names except Reagan would be appropriate for your child. All I ask is to think about your baby when naming it. A child will get made fun of for one thing or another, most of the time it's based on how they look, however, you can't prevent how they look but you can prevent naming them something that could potentially make their life a living h**l. CONGRADULATIONS on your baby!

Answer 16

Cobain? Cocaine.

Answer 17

I think your kid will like the names as an adult, but as a kid no way! they'd get picked on i think.

Answer 18

I think its unique and like it :)

Answer 19

LOVE THOSE NAMES!!

Answer 20

made fun of? no I don't think so, but it's cool name, I think if anything it makes for a great name. besides the ones that will recognize the name cobain are the ones that will appreciate it's origin, and not make fun of it. About Heike, um not familiar with the diver, how is that pernounced?
