so, my friend just had twins

[kll]

and i always find it difficult when someone is excited and you are excited for them and then they tell you the baby's (in this case, babies) names... and then you are like, "huh. that's "different"" because you don't really have any other reaction as soon as you hear it other than woah, but you can't say woah, so you kind of then try to cover up the fact that you were taken aback...

and then you realize that these poor babies are going to have to go through life like that because it's not like they are BAD names, just different enough to make people pause to digest it...


carry on...

[CiaoBella]

are you going to tell us the names or what?


My cousin named her 2 boys....

Michele and Nevel


I happen to think those are really bad....

[kll]

Silas and Judah

[enree erzweglle]

Like Rachel Griffiths' baby being named "Banjo."

[JBernas]

Or Jermaine Jackson naming his son Jermajesty :eek:

[TurdBerglar]

giveing a kid a bad name should be considered child abuse. these kids will be sverely picked on and tramatised by these names. unless they are going to go to a private school full of other yuppies with names just like theirs

[adam_f]

I plan on naming my kids 'Refugee Sony _f' and 'Soundscan fo Shizzle _f'

[JBernas]

I knew a kid in high school that was named Tit. He was born here, but his parents were from Cambodia or something. If I moved to Cambodia and "Michael" meant shithead.......I wouldn't name my kid that. :confused:

Jar-Jar is going to work at a Best Buy in the shipping department and Adolf is going to become John Cusack's new sidekick in a romantic comedy called 'Serenity Now'

[BOBBY DIGITAL]

Shannon Sossoman (?) named her boy Audioscience. Chick's hot as fuck, but come on, Audioscience?!?!?!?!

[Nuzzolese]

I don't think middle class give their kids dumb names as much as the really poor and the really rich. What do you think?

[CiaoBella]

Silas and Judah


Silas is the name of the albino in the Divinci Code

[kll]

Silas is the name of the albino in the Divinci Code
and I think of John Malkovich's character in that movie where the prisoners highjack the plane... seriously, i have nothing but bad characters in my mind when i hear that name...

[Nuzzolese]

There's Silas Marner, the George Eliot character whose faith in God is revived when he raises a little girl.

A friend of mine is a school teacher and she had two sisters from a "not well off" family shall we say in one of her classes called Sammy Jo and Fallon.

Dy'nasty' (y)

Fallon is the name of shithole town in Nevada... a town where there's a 50% chance if you get pregnant while living there, your child will develop cancer... creepy.

Silas and JudahMaybe they're family names? Sound Jewish.

Our neighbors have twins about Mookie's age. Their names are Nathan and Jonah.

I've got no room here to talk, I know.

[cookiepuss]

So are they into the darkside of being born again? I mean what kind of born again names thier kid Judas, after the guy who rats on jesus? Judas is a shifty guy. "Son, we named you after the biggest tattle-tale of the chirstain faith. go forth and betray people" :confused:

[zorra_chiflada]

[Medellia]

One time my dad had to drive a baby to the hospital. Her name was pronounced Shith-ade. Spelled "shithead". No, I am not joking.

What about Silas the Snail in Pinwheel

Pinwheel, Pinwheel
Spinning Around
Look through My Pinwheel
And See what I found

Pinwheel, Pinwheel
Streaming and Bright
Spin me good morning
and Spin me goodnight.*



*unsure of this second verse
Awwwwww, I remember that! :D
