dont name your baby something stupid

Posted: Jan 4, 2017

inputting these names like Katelyn, Caitlin, Caitlyn, Caitlynn, Ashley, Ashle, Ashyle, Emilee, Emily, Emmelee, Crouton, Crewton, makes me wonder why someone would doom their child to a lifetime of having to spell their name to people. It just seems Cruel or should I say Crewel. And there's the celebrity Can-I-Come-Up-With-An-Even-Uglier-Name than Homer, Otis, Hazel, or Phineas? These are human beings you are toying with.

I can't figure for the life of me who started odd spellings for common names. I know someone who just thought it would be "cute" to spell Devon, Devyn. Heck, why not, was her attitude.

One TV personality (I won't mention names)named her kid Phyllo, like the Greek flaky pastry. Come on. They'll be calling her flaky dough head and who knows what else in school.

As far as crazy names, I love unique names. I definitely think some of the names these people come up with are a little strange, but I also think that people can name their children whatever they want because it's none of my business. And by the time these kids get into school, the names won't be considered weird. As far as the TV personality that was mentioned. Phyllo is a nickname. Her name is Philomena.

I Did Not Know That - From see msg

I did not know that, but I don't get why she is pronouncing it feelo, like the pastry dough. Philomena is fill-o-meena. So, I'm guessing she named her Philomena so she could put a twist on the dough thing. I still think it's dumb.

Didn't some actress name her kid Apple?

Demi Moore named her younger ones Rumer and Scout.

I guess they just have to be different to gain attention or something.

I have an ex-inlaw relative named Dexeray and for the life of me - I have no idea how to pronounce it SM

[ In Reply To ..]
I dont know if its like Desiree, or if they actually pronounce the "x" as Dex-e-ray or WTH.

Glad I'm not married into THAT family any more.

Naming your baby - Just another slave

The weirdest names I have ever heard in my life are the late Frank Zappa's kids: Moon Unit and Dweezil, but that was the 60s and weird names were really in. Kim K's kids have pretty weird names too - North and Saint.

Spelling of name - What is the problem

[ In Reply To ..]
I always have to spell my name for people. My grandparents were Irish immigrants and I have an Irish name. It's not "stupid" but one you don't hear a lot, so it gets mispronounced and misspelled. Being "doomed" to a lifetime of having to spell your name for people is not the worst thing that could happen to someone. What is wrong with Hazel, maybe the person has Hazel eyes or was named for a grandparent or family member. There are a lot of ways to spell Caitlin, nothing wrong any of them. I like "Emily" spelled Emilee, I also like "Amy" spelled Aimee. Those are really not stupid names. They're not your kids so try not to lose sleep over it. What a boring world it would be if we all had the same first names and everyone could spell them.

The one that gets me - Old MT

Is "Moxie CrimeFighter". Of course, daddy is an atheist, too. Penn Jellette.

I thank my kids on a regular basis.... - I'm grandma

I have 5 grandchildren and after an initial double-check, I have been able to pronounce and spell my grandchildren's names from the day they were named - and there is no question whether they are boys or girls from their names.....

I have a family member with 4 grown kids and during their lifetime, all 4 of them have had to deal with their names which were originally boy's and girl's names, but they were named the opposite when the names were trending that way and now they are all back to being more common for the original gender....several of them have confided to me how much confusion that causes.....

Most of those are common and perfectly reasonable - A mom

[ In Reply To ..]
Of all the names to be annoyed by, this is your list? There's nothing wrong or particularly uncommon about any of the Caitlyn spellings. Ashley is a common name. I don't much care for the other spellings of it, but Ashlee isn't terrible.

Emily? Really? What the heck is wrong with that?

I'll give you Crouton.

My favorite WTF name was Kandida. I don't care if you spell it with a K. It's yeast, and no good association can come from that.

I twittered Kim Kard a suggestion - for a baby name

[ In Reply To ..]
but apparently she did not see it. The name was Kansir. It has the first 3 letters of her DH's name (which you know would appeal to him) plus a term that implies respect or royalty. What could be more perfect for the spawn of Kanye and Kim?

Except that people would be pronouncing it as "cancer" - nm

My g-greatfather named my grandmother - Jerome

I'm sure he did not think it was stupid. He wanted a house full of boys and he got eight girls, most with male gender names.

What makes it hard is when you have to call someone - sm

for an appointment reminder and you ask for the parent of Gnenivolyz. You have to think ahead of time of all the ways it could be pronounced. You end up saying Ja-nen-i-vo-lize. They say it's Gwen-i-vol-ece and act annoyed that you didn't pronounce it correctly. You sit there apologizing to them when you want to say, jeez-o-pete lady, have you no compassion for your child.

Ok...so sorry if this doesn't work. I haven't posted a picture on here in a long time. I just had to share the news...we are going to have a baby girl!

Just wanted you all to know that the baby miniature horse was even more precious in person! She just stuck to her mom and they walked side by side in the pasture. One of the girls who lives on the farm picked her up and brought her to the fence so we could pet her. Baby's mom was eating hay under a shade tree with her back turned. Suddenly she realized that her baby was not beside her. She made some very loud cries and galloped over to the fence to protect her litt ...

I know he should have left well enough alone, but DH found a mommy and 5 baby mice in our shed. He brought their bedding and the mice into the house to show me. Mommy escaped and we can't find her.

Just saw where a lady was upset because she wanted to nurse her baby at an airport, wanted some privacy and was told she could get that in the bathroom. She did not want to do that, said germs and then the airline person suggested the pet room where apparently the animals go to use the bathroom, I think. Having never nursed but thought a woman, if traveling, could nurse ahead and store the milk somehow. Women with babies have traveled for years. Why now do others think they are so entitled to ha ...

I had a baby 2 years ago and I have not worked out a day since then (bad I know). Now, with summer coming up, I need to tone up and get in shape. Anyone have a good workout they can share to lose the baby weight. I've got about 10 pounds to lose, which isn't bad, but I'm so out of shape and kind of puffy, no muscle! I really don't want to join a gym as I have a treadmill and some weights but really have no idea what kind of workout to do. ...

I just don't understand how my husband can favor his 7-year-old son from a previous relationship over our new daughter. She is 4 months old and the only child he seems to be concerned about is his son. His son is here Thursdays-Sundays and when he is here, he pays no attention to our baby. Right now, she is not noticing this I guess because she is so young but I am afraid as she gets older, she will begin to pick up on this and that just breaks my heart. So many litt ...

Years ago when a couple married and the wife has a baby, the father automatically put on the birth certificate as the father, did not matter if actual father or not, just the way it was done. Fast forward many years. Heard that Kim Kardashian was pregnant and the father of her child is Kanye West. Ok, but wait a moment. She is still married to the Humphries guy, the divorce has not been finalized. Talk on a television program this morning if the baby would be a Kardashian or a West. Can a pe ...

My friend is having her second baby and she decided that I should throw her baby shower this time. I said sure and I suggested a diaper shower since this is her second baby in a relatively short period of time (2 years) and she has found out she is having the same sex, so in my mind at least, she already has all the "stuff." She seemed very offended by this, so fine I decided to call it a baby shower and let people decide on their own. Now my friend has taken to checking in wit ...
