1 boy named Jesus. 2 boys named Christ.


In those situations, if you yell at your son, are you taking the Lord's name in vain?

I'm going to name my kid Aristotle.
Honestly, I think giving a kid a classic name and just referring to them as a slang version is cool. Aristotle becomes Ari. Leonardo becomes Leo. etc..

"What you going to name him?"

"Well, we've narrowed it down to Drew, Donnelly, or Donald."

"Okay, I'll just fill out your birth certificate... Drew-Donnelly-Donald."

Just scrolled through the boys list... Here are some "What were they thinking" ones that jumped out at me:

Ziggy... Windyboy.... Huckleberry... Innocent.... Jedi... Koah... Kyllix-Sean... Kroy... Krypton... MC-Jerry... Rush... 12 named Titus!

These are pretty bad ass though:

22 named Hendrix
8 named Maximillian
1 named Tesla

I think MC-Jerry wins though.

I have to admit Octavius is kind of cool. The hard part would be trying to convince the other half not to intervene.

First name Mads, middle name Maximillian.

I would hire Mads Max when he grows up.

I expect everyone to screw it up and call him McJerry.

With the explosion of absolutely asinine names over the last 5-10 years, how many of these kids do we see changing their names? Or is Normalcy just the new Steve now?

Because frankly if my name was Duramax, you'd bet I'd be asking my parents to legally change it, and if they didn't I would be the day I turned 18.

It might be the case that idiot parents wanted their children to have a Yoo-neek name, but maybe those are the children of immigrants and those are perfectly normal names in the parents' home country/native language.
