Category: Bad Baby Names

Please help me out for a girl: Madison Belle or Mekenzie Jordyn

I thought Madison Belle was the river boat in Huck Finn.

Update! Reader Beth adds Madison Bell is Erika Christensen’s, um, shall we say, assertive character in the teen version of “Fatal Attraction” “Swimfan.” No boiled bunnies, fortunately, but she’s not very nice.

For the last 50 years, my family has been naming their children after Southwestern Ontario cities. My brother is Barrie, my sister is Kingston, and my cousin is Markham. I am due in two weeks (it’ll be a girl) and I thinking about naming her either York or Orillia. What do others think?

I think it’s time for a nuclear strike against Ottawa.

(Reader Tom wrote in to suggest that she branch out to include other provinces and name her after this town, the single greatest town in Newfoundland, or perhaps anywhere else. (Warning – link may not be work-safe if you work for your local parish.)

How about Adrienne Claire? Or Fleur Jade?

Isn’t Fleur Jade that dim sum place down the street?

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!
