yay, bit of news from me to help get me back into posting here.

yeah, I lol'ed. I can understand a few odd names, but Talulu does the Hula..... wow..... what were they smoking when they thought that up.

This is why I think some parents need a license to have a child. Infact, I think if this gets any worse, it might be better to have it be just as strict as hunting. You should have to pass a psychology exam, take a course in not being a DEE DEE DEEEE parental figure, and such. Nothing too unbearable, just prove to the world you have half a brain and know that kids need food, love and attention.

And here my parents decided on giving me the first name of Aaron instead of Sigurd because they thought I would be teased for have a weird name. Serves them right I just need to get over to the court as some point soon to change my name right way round so that Aaron is my middle name as it was supposed to be.

I wonder if some people think children are fashion accessories.

A long time ago I remember hearing that in France they have an official list of allowable names and won't let you give your child a name that's not on the list. Dunno if that's still true, or if it ever was.

This topic brought to mind Johnny Cash's song "A Boy Named Sue." As for the child mentioned, I'm hoping she was made a ward for more than just having an embarrassing name. That a judge could take a child away from his/her parents just over a name I just can't help but feel uneasy about. Hopefully it's just a temporary situation until the custody dispute resolved.

I don't think Jean sounds the same in French as it does in English.

I have a cousin named "Corvette" and one of his sisters is (I absolutly cannot spell it, it's french so I'll just type it as best as I can towards pronunciation) Jona' (with the J having that french sound, and the na sounding like nay). I can't remember the oldest girls name but the other boy in the family is Christopher. This is a family living in middle Oregon, I don't know the mothers exact background but the father was raised a poor farm boy from Nebraska area. How the two yoiungest ended up with the names they did, I have no clue.

A young couple who lives across the street from us just had their first child earlier this month. His name is (I kid you not), "Nathan Danger Langley".

Danger is my middle name...

some people just don't think about how their kids are people, and they're gonna grow up and have to live with these names. they may think it's cute or clever, but no one should have to live with a joke name.
I have a relative who had a kid at a young age and named him Atreyu, I just call him Trey
