 Posted: Fri Jul 04, 2008 1:48 am Post subject: The awful baby-naming game |
 |
|
Baby names seem to be getting a lot more...interesting lately. It could be difficult for prospective parents to find a completely unique name for their child. After a decade of creative baby-naming, all the good names are taken. Thus, if we are going to give our children original names, we are going to have to come up with things so ridiculous, humiliating, and horrible that few (or none) have tried it before and few (or none) will try it again.
Sure, your little boy will be a Drake Buttmaster Your-last-name-here, but he'll be the only Drake Buttmaster Your-last-name-here. How special!
The game: it's up to us to invent the worst names possible!
The rules: you have to invent them yourself. No I-once-knew-this-guy-named-Fortenbras business. We all know somebody who "knows" the legendary Orangejello and Lemonjello. Bring something new to the table!
To start: Polio or Paulio for a boy and Savethewhalessia for a girl.

LOL.
Aspigia

Lardofatsia.
I don't know I'll have to come up with better ones. I'm obsessed with names.

hehe the name thing has gone all over the place,
see people on tv with names that...well...i dont know,
doesnt make much sense in any way other then
using it as an attention-getter. you want you child to
stick out as much as possible or something. |

yep, they force their need to be creative on the kid, even though the kid will cop a load of teasing as a result.
eg apple, peaches, moon unit(yes some one is called that)
anyway have you seen it when people end up taking normal names and turning it into something unfortunate by accident.
vulgar story, read it in the paper once
mr and mrs peacock had a baby boy and decided to call him drew. anyway if you say the name drew peacock fast it sounds like something else... apparently they did not realise this until Mr Peacock typed the name into google. they apparently said they did not want to change it because it was already on the birth certificate.
what is big deal it is easy to change a name via deed poll.
it would save the kid a lot of bullying. |

That was in The Sun a couple of years ago, I remember it making feel slightly nauseous that the reason they didn't want it changed was because they loved the name "Drew" so much and thought it was a really pretty name.... 
Oh well , I suppose they could have called the poor bugger Chris... (surname Peacock remember...) |

| I saw a woman named Candida on TV. Maybe her mother was prone to yeast infections during the pregnancy and wanted a reminder of that? |

Aryan Justice...that gives me a sick idea that I'm sure NO ONE has EVER used before.
We should totally name our kids after death camps.
The bad-name advantages are multiple: unsavory associations, German pronunciation and spelling hell, general weird-soundingness, and a deep feeling of shame that will surely be forced upon the child (poor Birkenau Greer, she could NEVER look Jewish people in the eye).
Would work for boys:
Buchenwald
Dachau
Sobibor
Sanchenhausen
Orhdruf
Stuthoff
Chelmno
Belzec
Would work for girls:
Treblinka
Terezin
Belsen
Ravensbruck
Mauthausen
Unisex:
Auschwitz (because it's doesn't sound masculine or feminine, just vaguely sneeze-like. It also sounds like the defense's argument for justified matricide)
Well, it would be UNUSUAL and QUIRKY. And we all know that is all that matters.
I'll be off Wrongplanet for the remainder of the day. I have to take Warsaw Ghetto to a soccer game and a dental checkup.

A lot of baby names given by celebrities are terribly sad and sick.
If your last name is Wipe it would be a bad idea to name your baby Ass.
How about Unwanted the Third.
