My wife and I were discussing this yesterday. We decided on 'Daisy', if it's a girl; 'Jampot', if it's a boy.

Saxo Gramaticus. And force him to learn sax. But then have to explain that he was actually named after some guy who chronicled the Dutch kings.

Or make him learn sax, and name him Adolph-forcing him to constantly explain that he is named after Adolph Sax, invetor of the saxophone. (or go by his middle name, which I would have to make Buttercup...)

Leeroy would be one. I also think "Phineas" and "Pip" to both be profoundly stupid names.

I've heard a rumor of a Brazilian woman that named her child Hitler Stalin Mussolini. She didn't know who they were, only that they were famous.
Another thing you could do is give the child any number of names, such as six or seven first names.

Terrible. I'm homeless. I'm literally on borrowed time right now. I convinced them not to check my room till the 4th. I'm moving my stuff into my friends garage and cleaning out the VW so I can sleep in it. What's pissing my off is I was homeless once before and worked my way out and said, "Crap, I better finish college so I don't have to go through that again. That sucked." And here I am graduating college and...

Anyway...

Name the boy 'Sue' but shelter him from the song until his adult life so that when he finally goes out in the world and people go 'Like that song?' he'll be dumbfounded.

Anything even approaching normal is fine for a girl if she grows up HWP with the benefit of good genes. Her friends would call her Matie. Name your son Sue, and he's going either be dead or beat the shit out of you by the time he turns 15.

What I would put on the birth certificate (while asking for the DNA test, and while the mother was knocked out) if I was ever accused of fathering a kid I was sure wasn't mine.

1337, H4X0r, PWND!, B0xen (Nvidia if its a girl), !!11eleventy!1!, Leech, Gomez, Morticia, Lurch

A cousin named one of his kids "Jaxon," now he's going to grow up and cook meth professionally, and summer in Walla Walla for the occasional B&E.

I think that this is a perfectly workable name.

Name the child "Remote" and then get a tv without a remote control, making the kid change the channels for you. Then, when he's 12 tell him that the remote control was invented and they named it after him-destroying him socially as he insists that the remote control is name after him and not the other way around.

Does anyone that read Catch 22 remember Major Major Major Major? His dad tricked his mom into thinking he'd gotten a real name on his birth certificate, but instead was given Major as his first and middle name, to accompany his last. An error got him promoted to major, which is where he got stuck on the carreer ladder.

.....

Good luck with that. I've been homeless for about a year myself, but didn't really feel it, thanks to the kindness of some good friends in providing spare rooms and floors to crash on. But the feeling you get when you've got your own place again, is a very good one .....

It's times like this must make you love your VW, eh? (And thank God for the Californian climate!)


And to avoid accusasions of hijack:
One job I used to do, we had this woman come in with a birth certifcate for her second child, showing the name 'Number Two'. On being asked the obvious question, she nodded and replied, "Number One". She did look kind of strange ...

All you people suggesting names like Cody and Rupert have obviously never been to an Upper-Middle to Upper class High School. They do fine there. More snobby WASP names than you can shake a stick at.

Anyhoo, I think that Hey, Hello, Howdy, or any other greeting would be bad. Especailly if the person is shy and has trouble saying a lot to new people.

Bob: Hi there. I’m Bob what’s your name?
Hello: Hello
Bob: Yes, hello. What’s you name?
Hello: Hello.
Bob: We’ve already been over that. What is your name?
Hello: Hello!

Any double name. By double name, I mean:
Lee Lee
Felix Felix
Constantine Constantine

And, to a lesser extent:
Robert Roberts


Also, pretty much any name any celebrity has come up with for their kids is fucked.
Apple? If I had that name, I would have killed my parents.
Phinnaues and Hazel? The fuck was Julia Roberts thinking?


And I read a story about a guy named "baby smith." His parents couldn't decide the name at birth, so the birth certificate had "baby" written as the first name, as a sort of place holder. The man's name was never changed, as the name "baby" stuck. Poor guy.

Well my last name is Moore and I thought if I ever had a boy I'd name him Ronald, or Ron for short.
That way whenever he had to fill in a form where it asks for last name/first name or if he ever went to China he'd be called "Moore Ron".
A subtle joke that he probably wouldn't even realise until he's quite a bit older.

Other than that, maybe Phuqu. Just think of the problems he'd encounter whenever asked for his name!

Any of the daft names Paula Yates gave her children:
Fifi Trixibelle
Pixie
Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily
Peaches Honey Blossom
(She should never have been allowed to breed, let alone name her children)

Simon Le Bon's daughters:
Amber Rose Tamara
Saffron Sahara
Tallulah Pine
(Too much coke there I think Simon)

Jamie Oliver' daughters :
Daisy Boo
Poppy Honey
(proving he's as dumb with names as he is with cooking)

Sylvester Stallone's daughter:
Sage Moonblood <---Sounds like a D&D name you might give yourself
(obviously had one too many hits to the head when filming the Rocky series)

Come on! Cute nicknames for a small kid, sure, but what happens when they get older and try to apply for a job with those really stupid names? It's just cruel.

David Bowie named his son Zowie.
The boy changed it as soon as he turned 16 and was legally able to.

Frank Zappa named his children Dweezil (son) and Moon Unit (daughter), but at least he had a damn good reason - he was Frank Zappa afterall.

I read in my German GCSE textbook at school the name of a child that made me want to cry. The name was...

DILDO.

Yes, Dildo. Like the sex toy.

I was talking with one of my friends that a brilliant name to call your child would be...

RAMON.

We said that we would call our sons RAMON just so that we could say:

"Your name's Ramon!" and laugh.

I can't help thinking we'd make terrible parents. :)

Two real llife cases I know of:

Infant girl named Marijuana Pepsi ( named after her parents two favorite things) you can google to verify. Read a newspaper article on her years ago.

Infant girl named Meconium. For those of you who are not familiar with this term let me enlighten you. In utero an infant's nourishment comes via the placenta. Thus when the infant is born their first few stools are unique because they didn't travel fully through the GI tract. This first fecal matter is black and very tarry in consistency. It is called Meconium.

So parents please reconsider and be kind to your children.

Sorry Demented Hamsters, but I have ALL the Jamie Oliver books - is that sad? - and think he's a brilliant chef. And I thought that "Jamie's School Dinners" on C4 was brilliant: school dinners are horrid, and it's about time somebody did something about it.

Although, I agree, he does have terrible taste in names.

I swear this is true. (at least I was told it was true). Some years ago, two people my parents knew has a baby girl. "What are you going to name her?" they were asked. "We can't name her. The hospital already did."
"What do you mean? The hospital can't name your child for you."
"They did. When they brought her to us, she had a little armband with the name they chose for her."
The child's "name" was Female. Which these people thought was pronounced Fee-mah-lay. I swear, I'm not making this up.

And what about a certain Donald Duk? This is not a joke!! There is a man here in the Netherlands with this name. I wonder if he has children of his own... Triplets, boys if possible...

Naming your kids after places: Lourdes, or Paris? Would you really want to know where your parents made you?

Another stupid exemple: "Born: John Alexander, and we call him Henry" Why, I ask you. Why...

Names spelled the wrong way. "Brayn" instead of "Bryan".

And those DIY names: Varinka, Khrisnina.

These kids must do horrible things to their parents when they're older.

Unfortunately he first went to a bar in order to celebrate the birth of his son... when he finally arrived at the office, he was too drunk to remember the name.. all he could remember was that it had something to do with vikings... so he named the boy Haegar.

"Yon-Darth Tave'is the Foeslayer, Lord Czardas, Supreme Ruler of the Universe"... what were my parents thinking? :headbang:

Also:
After any of the Old French departments (i.e. Alsace, Champagne, Bourbon, Flanders), anything in Britain (London, Essex, Suffolk, Yorkshire), names belonging to pets (Spot, Rover, Fluffy, Feathers), or any of those Amish-type names (Truth, Memory, Remembrance, Praise the Lord), or after any two or more-word nouns (i.e. Electric Toothbrush, Toilet Plunger).

Especially if, like CToaN, you insist that it be pronounced "Bob", i.e. "My name is Praise the Lord Jones, but it's pronounced 'Bob'."

Any random collection of letters, numbers, or 1337 symbols will do. (i.e. Jxuey47f, ZX81 H4x0r0r, P93fcfcufbbkbynnnutiv, Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxcvbnm)

This is an actual (and reasonably common) name in Norway:

Odd-Even

Of course, there are people named just Odd and just Even as well, but the double name is much better.

Like that Johnny Cash song....
----------------------------------
My daddy left home when I was three
And he didn't leave much to ma and me
Just this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze.
Now, I don't blame him cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that he ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me "Sue."

Well, he must o' thought that is quite a joke
And it got a lot of laughs from a' lots of folk,
It seems I had to fight my whole life through.
Some gal would giggle and I'd get red
And some guy'd laugh and I'd bust his head,
I tell ya, life ain't easy for a boy named "Sue."

Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.

Well, it was Gatlinburg in mid-July
And I just hit town and my throat was dry,
I thought I'd stop and have myself a brew.
At an old saloon on a street of mud,
There at a table, dealing stud,
Sat the dirty, mangy dog that named me "Sue."




Well, I knew that snake was my own sweet dad
From a worn-out picture that my mother'd had,
And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye.
He was big and bent and gray and old,
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold
And I said: "My name is 'Sue!' How do you do!
Now your gonna die!!"

Well, I hit him hard right between the eyes
And he went down, but to my surprise,
He come up with a knife and cut off a piece of my ear.
But I busted a chair right across his teeth
And we crashed through the wall and into the street
Kicking and a' gouging in the mud and the blood and the beer.

I tell ya, I've fought tougher men
But I really can't remember when,
He kicked like a mule and he bit like a crocodile.
I heard him laugh and then I heard him cuss,
He went for his gun and I pulled mine first,
He stood there lookin' at me and I saw him smile.

And he said: "Son, this world is rough
And if a man's gonna make it, he's gotta be tough
And I knew I wouldn't be there to help ya along.
So I give ya that name and I said goodbye
I knew you'd have to get tough or die
And it's the name that helped to make you strong."

He said: "Now you just fought one hell of a fight
And I know you hate me, and you got the right
To kill me now, and I wouldn't blame you if you do.
But ya ought to thank me, before I die,
For the gravel in ya guts and the spit in ya eye
Cause I'm the son-of-a-bitch that named you "Sue.'"

I got all choked up and I threw down my gun
And I called him my pa, and he called me his son,
And I came away with a different point of view.
And I think about him, now and then,
Every time I try and every time I win,
And if I ever have a son, I think I'm gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!

Someone tried to name their child Neigh of Heat(as in mating season). It sounds catchier in Swedish, but still... It's always bad being named after famous people.

Napoleon, Washington, Nelson, Cromwell, Lama, Reagan... all of those are bad first names since it makes people think of something else.

There are hordes of awful and stupid names. George Carlin goes after a few of them in "Complaints and Grievances". And in case you think I'm making these up, I'm a teacher -- the following examples are all names I've seen and called while taking roll.

My least favorite is this trend of bending and blending gender-specific names or making them "neuter" names:

Morgan
Taylor
Kerry/Terry (somehow with a Y they're male and with and I they're not. Huh?)

Then there's the use of last names as first names, regardless of gender:

MacKenzie
Carson
Cooper
Tucker
Washington
Jefferson
Lincoln
Tyler (what's next, Polk?)

Or these soft, fruity names that Boomers have burdened their kids with:

Brandon
Braden
Brent
Blaine
Brad (most of these abominations start with B for some reason)
Todd
Trent
Kyle
Graham
Grey

Then there are those who name them ofter distinctively named famous or mythological people:

Anais
Dante
Wolfgang
Blaise
Dashiell
Thelonious
Ariadne
Callisto
Europa

Or those environmentally fruity parents -- it was okay when it was rare and caught on like Violet, Flora, or (as much as I loathe this name) Amber, but witness:

Cedar
Aspen
Sierra
Spring, Summer, Autumn (notice nobody ever names their kid Winter...)
Ember (as if Amber wasn't bad enough...)

I'm just waiting for the time I have a class with kids whose parents are really into ancient Greece and Rome:
