I like normal names like:
Lilliana
Lynna
Miranda ( i can’t believe i just typed that)
Beverlee
Liana
Zorah
Baylie
Nikola

I don’t know about picking normal names, frankly. Wouldn’t want the kid to be the 3rd Baylie in the class. She’d be Baylie R. for years!

And you’re a dirty whore for liking a WEIRD name like Miranda.

I’m due in 3 weeks, if it’s a girl-Mekenzie Jordyn, if it’s a boy- Rowan Meaghan

Me, Kenzie. You, Mr. Bean.

I will name baby#3 Killian(girl) or Tristan(boy).

Hope he sings in German and dates a girl named Isolde. And that the girl’s middle name is Irish and her last name is Red! Woooo! (drinks) The response:

Killian is a BOYS name! Think about it for a minute: if you name her Killian she’ll more than likely be mistaken for a boy in BOTH middle and high school and be put in a boys gym class! these are the things you have to concider when naming a child.

Yeah! Think about it for a minute, a single minute, you selfish harpy! Obviously gym class placement should be consideration number one! I mean…BOTH middle and high school! You bitch!

Better give her a normal girl’s name like Mackenzie or Jaylee or Carrington!

I have 2 girls…Ashlyn Marie and Carrington Alisa. I chose to give my daughters unusual names…but not unusual enough to be made fun of.

Not unless the younger one runs into a vicious gang of Lytton Strachey readers.

I really like the “Brenner” but I can’t find it’s meaning anywhere, and I am not sure that it is a real name.

But why should that stop you? Name the kid Fridgidaire! It has a meaning.

My fiance and myself have names already picked out. For a boy we like-
Clayton Nathaniel… Payson Alexander… or Jaylen Alexander
and for a girl we like…
EmmaLee Jade… Jaylee Morghan… Shyler Madison…Laken Makai

Boy’s names: All sound like linebackers. Girl’s names: Anagrams.

Laken – the new herring treat from Finland. Laken, ja!

Q: does anyone have a cute boy name starting with a “K”?

Sample responses:
Kade, Kacey, Kahil, Kahlil, Kaleb, Kane, Karey, Karl, Karsten, Kristopher, Keenan, Kyle, Kelly, Kendrick, Keegan, Kieran, Kinsey, Kirkland, Kyler, Kurt, Kurtis.

Kahil? Karsten? Krap!

what about the name skylar or raven?

Thanks, 14-year-old-Goth-girl!

In a few months I’m going to be a new mom, and we know its a girl. My dh and I have been discussing names lately (we already have six children: Jack Dominick, Rose Solenne, Monroe Charlize, Ophelia Eden, Heart Scarlett, Pascal Sebastien) and our favorites right now are:

Okay, I think this lady’s lying. No two people could contain between them enough evil to conceive both of this many children and this many f’ed up names. Even a godless universe contains more rhyme and reason.

Phoenix (she was conceived in Phoenix)
Aedin
Cielle (see-ell)
Gracelyn
Maxime (max-eem)
Jasmine

These people, being either liars, new age cultists, schizophrenic Dungeons and Dragons players, Mormons, or all four, make most commentary on those preposterous names moot. However:

Every kid thinks the idea their parents have sex is nasty. So why oh why would you want to remind them of it every single time someone calls their name?

I mean, how ’bout some truth in advertising, here! Name her Ramblerbackseat.

Please, someone, HELP! My husband and I are having a horrible dilemma on names. For girls, I like Brielle, Ashlynn, Brooklynn, and Madelyn, and he likes TIFFANY. He refuses to bend!! I don’t really mind it, but it was never one of my favorites. What do you think of Tiffany??

She’s okay, but Debbie Gibson could write her own songs.

For a boy, we have even a bigger problem. Every boy in his family, including all of the nephews, has a name that starts with R. ! I think Robert is too boring, and Riley is turning more and more into a girl’s name.I like Rylan (pronounced ry-lin) but my husband says it sounds too feminine. What do you think about that, too?

Gee, how did he get the idea that “ry-lin” was a girl’s name after fighting over Ashlynn, Brooklynn and Madelyn? (Question: When are these folks going to really push the envelope and put a THIRD n to the end of a name for no reason?)
