Teen parents and naming the child?

Question

people are telling that teens parents pick too much of a trendy names and that they are stupid names. I was wondering what are the worst names you've heard teen parents use or what kind of trends do they follow. The name i like is makenna rae .

Answer 1

Well i was 19 when i had my son and his name is kaemon i feel like no matter what age you are some pick trendy names it doesnt matter what people say as long as you like the name trendy or not. And i think Makenna rae is pretty

Answer 2

I think some people, young or not, pick stupid names regardless. Perhaps some teens pick trendy names because they themselves are trendy. There's nothing wrong with picking a popular name - but sometimes names are just outright cruel. I think some people don't realize that their children will spend the majority of their lives as adults and don't want a cutesy name.

Anyway, some bad ones I've heard (not necessarily from teens):

Dream (boy)

Zaidyn (girl)

Sunshine (girl)

Honey (girl)

Pebble (boy)

MaxKenzy (girl)

We named our children classic names.  

Answer 3

Makenna Rae is cute!

The weirdest I heard was Gwenyth Paltrow's baby's, Moses and Apple.

Answer 4

Makenna Rae is beautiful!!!!!!! The worst name is Yolanda!!!!! thats what this 15 year old named her kid  

Answer 5

I don't know that age is so much of a factor in picking stupid names (I don't think Makenna Rae is bad, but other names out there are terrible!).  My sister-in-law is 17 and having a baby and she has picked out a perfectly normal name for her soon-to-be son - Alexander.

Answer 6

Makenna Rae is a beautiful name.

the worst name i have heard is Nevaeh (heaven spelled backwards). Also i don't like the trend of using boy's names for girls. soon, all names will be unisex.

Answer 7

I think Makenna Rae is awful, sorry!!! But It's not just teen parents who choose bad names, the 'celebrities' are the worst culprits!! Gwen Stefani has called her new son Zuma??? That is bad!!

Answer 8

This wasn't so much a stupid name, just an unwise choice.  At first the name is very pretty.  Robin Alexis  ********

But then you are told why that name was chosen.  The child was conceived right after the girl and her b/f stole a car, yes, a Lexus.

Answer 9

Hopefully you'll change your mind by the time you have kids, because Makenna Rae is horrid. Ray is masculine, but seeing as it's a family name, I suppose it's ok. But at least give her a pretty feminine name, instead of the ugly, masculine Makenna, since Mac means Son Of. Makenna Rae sounds like a name for a boy, not a girl. These would be better choices.

Madeleine Rae

Madeline Rae

Matilda Rae

Melody Rae

Melanie Rae

Answer 10

Makenna is pretty, but I prefer McKenzie or McKayla.

Rae would sound good with any of them.

:]

Good Luck!  

Answer 11

I think it's more because tastes mature as you get older, and the things that you lopved as a teenager aren't as appealing to you when you are an adult.  

When it comes to something like baby names, I would imagine that more cutesy names would be appealing when you are younger.  But cutesy doesn't always cut it for a woman when she is older.  She will hopefully go on to college, graduate school, law school, and/or try to make her way in the professional world, and it is going to be hard for her to be taken seriously with a cutesy little girl name.

Trendiness in names is also something to be cautious of.  When you choose a very trendy name, such as the "Mac/Mc" names (aka, the "Happy Meal" names), you have to realize that the trend will come and go, and the name that you thought was so cute and unique just ends up dating your child and will be considered an "old lady" name in the years to come.  At least timeless, classic names that never go out of style will serve your child well throughout her life.

Remember that names that we now think of as old, dated "Grandma" names, such as Dorothy, Shirley, Beverly, Betty, Florence, etc. were once the trendy names of their day.  But they have become so associated with a particular era, that once they fell out of fashion and were replaced by the next group of trendy names, they became very dated sounding.
