Trying something Out of the ordinary?

Question

What do you think of the name Verizon James for a boy? Yes I know its a phone company but its rare and unique and I like it.

Answer 1

Don't do it. Like you said, it's a phone company. Plus, it's rare/unique because it's not really name...

Your child will hate it, kids will make fun of him, and adults will feel bad for him. Naming you kid after a popular phone company is just as bad as naming then after any other major company or product.

Answer 2

Uh, unless you own Verizon, not good. People will ask you why you named him after a phone company. How about

Skyler James

Elliott James

Bentley James

Answer 3

i named my son alltel, isn't that a good name??

Answer 4

i like it

Answer 5

with all due respect, please don't do that to your baby!

Answer 6

Consider this: my wife and I named our son "David".  Not rare or unique, right?  Wrong.

The fact is, with everyone trying so hard to find unusual names, you actually find that, in this generation of children, the ones that have the most special and unique names are the ones whose parents didn't go overboard to make up some crazy name because it sounded good to them.

Maybe you should consider a name that may sound old-fashioned to you, but that, among your child's peers, will actually be unique.  My son has dozens of friends with names that their parents thought were "fresh" or "cool" or "creative".  On the other hand, not one of them is named "David".  He's unique!

Answer 7

Sure. It's okay.

Horizon might be a little better than Verizon.

Or simply Erizon.

Answer 8

I prefer Nextell or ATT

Answer 9

its totally up to you but your child has to live with it every day of their lives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Poor baby

Answer 11

In all respect, this is a child were talking about, another person who will have this name the rest of his life, and didn't even get a say in whether or not they liked the name, so before you go so drastic, please consider yourself growing up with this name (really think about it)

Answer 12

its okay if you want another rare and unique name i have some good ones-

how about-

Harbor James

Zyler James

Juexsiph James
