I’m am taking this class in high school were we get to play with preschoolers and to be like teachers to them. In the preschool class there is a girl named Astarri. My friends and me told our teacher that was a cute name, my teacher asked us if we knew her last name. We all said no. She told us, no joke. Her last name is Night. Her name is Astarri Night, like a starry night.

I know she’s kidding, but I still hate anime
I’m a huge fan of the anime Dragonball Z and I want to name my future children after some of the characters. What do you think of the names: Piccolo, Dende, (for boys) and Bulma (for a girl)?

I also think the name Goku is sooo adorable! Of course I think naming a child Vegeta would be going too far.

I love your site so much, and read it often, so when i saw this name I had to send it in. It’s the new girlfriend of a friend of mine, and he actually had to tell me how it was pronounced. Well, here it is:

Ceallaigh (pronounced Kelly). Keep up the great work!

From a hospital website:

Gianni Carson, born to Meredith and John May 19, 2006

One of the worst last names I have encountered so far belonged to Abdul Shitaway.

In the combo category – I once met a guy called Attila Leinhos (Leinhos is the last name, but still funny since it means “linen pants” (in German)- Hunnish conqueror ready for a night on the town?). Fortunately, he gave me his card instead of telling me his name, and I had a second to get my face back under control before looking up.

I know a family who named their sons Tade and Tido… I am assured these are real names, but still.

Also, a friend of mine is eternally grateful that she and her sister were born girls – they have very reasonable girls’ names, but the boys’ names her parents had picked out were Gernot and Giselher.

As for children suffering from names… I always think of a young woman who gave me an aggressive stare and said in a threatening tone, “but no stupid remarks” when I asked her name. Turns out she was called Scarlett, which isn’t half bad compared to some of the names I’ve seen here – and poor Scarlett was certainly scarred for life.

After reading your site for a while (love the new updates) I decided to see for myself what these sites were really like.

Holy cow, no shortage of fish in the ocean!

“What to you think of the name Coyt? I seen it on a reality show last night (Race to the Alter).”

And how’s this for too much effort?

A dear friend of mine has the already unfortunate enough last name of Shaft. In an inexplicable act of madness on his mother’s part, she named his brother Downey.

I once lived in a children’s shelter in Oklahoma City and there were kids named:
McKinley Roosevelt (a girl)
Justin Case
Angelina Angel

-C.

Don’t get me wrong. I love my sister. But she’s named her two daughters Afton Rose and Brynn Iris. Afton and Brynn are the names of rivers in Scotland, apparently. I’m just waiting for Firth of Forth Chrysanthemum and Inverness Orchid.
