What is with these names?

Question

Why is there so many people today who give their child a retarded name and call it unique? Names like Callick is not cute nor unique lets all start naming our babies after cars or fruit now. Most the names I see on here are extremely ridiculous.

Answer 1

are you ranting or this there a purpose to this question?

Answer 2

It can get annoying but after all, he/she is their child. People have the right to name their children whatever they want and they are the only ones that need to accept it. I don't see why you need to care. I don't think that names can be retarded. I think it's dumb that you say that. If they think it's unique, then it's unique and let it be. If you don't like the names you see on here, then don't look. It's as simple as that. At least you'll be giving your child a better name - who knows, some may love it or some may hate it and think it's retarded like you think of others.

Answer 3

I agree with you 100%.  People need to stop and think if they would want the names they are giving thier kids.  I know I wouldn't want to go through life with the name Apple, or Callick.  When I named my two boys I thought long and hard and mad sure their was no way they could get picked on because of their name.  Yes all kids get picked on but why give the kids more of a reason to pick on them.  

Answer 4

i agree with you to a certain point. some of the names people come up with are okay, but most are ridiculous.  

Answer 5

i have read the paper and i remember reading about parents who were fighting the court system to name there kid something like 7598487. ya numbers, then there was a normal name christopher but they wanted to spell it chrissttophfferr. and the court through it out. i know everyone can name their child what they want, but people are trying too hard to get away from the norm. my name is Dawn, and for 40 years i have dealt with who's HE or DON. and i have to say that minor thing really can p**s you off day in and day out.  

Answer 6

I agree. Some names are just awful. These children given odd names, will probably not be proud of their name, which is sad. Kids have a hard enough time in going through school with other children teasing them, much less go through their whole life being teased.

Answer 7

in somre reasons i agree.  i hate the name nevaeh.  also double middle names annoy the h*** out of me.  please dont name your kid anything like some celebs, like apple (although her little brother could always be carrott or broccoli) .  dont name them after books like bella swan (twilight) or harry james (harry potter). just spend like 3 $ on a baby name book at the supermarket checkout.
