Robert Kardashian, the now-dead patriarch and father to all but the two youngest females, was of Armenian descent. The word "kardashian" in Armenian supposedly means "mason". That's why Kourtney named her first born son Mason. Between around 1910 to 1915, it was official policy of the Ottoman Empire, which controlled half of Armenia, to wipe out all Armenians. Thousands fled, most to Russian Armenia or the US. Those who didn't or couldn't were wiped out. Strangely enough, many in Armenia are proud of the Kardashians, because they are probably the most famous people in the world who are Armenian.

Yeah, I'd say they're currently the most famous----these have had "their day", though:

Andre Agassi, Cher, Princess Di, Steve Jobs, and Dr. Jack Kevorkian, and will probably be remembered throughout history----hopefully, the Kardashians will just be a "Yesterday's News".

The last time this happened, Kim Kardashian was on, pregnant with this one I guess. Ellen was asking her what she thought about this silly thing or that silly thing that Kanye was doing and it was clear that Kim thinks he is hilarious and is just along for the ride.

I think so, too! She might be a bit narcissistic and he keeps her in the "spotlight", so that's why she puts-up with him.

I think that Kanye is 100% serious about these names and Kim is like, hahaha isn't this a funny name we actually went through with it!

I think so, TOO!!

...and yet, enough people keep watching. Not denigrating, as I have my own guilty pleasures - TV isn't one of them due to my schedule & auditory processing issues. Just pointing out that maybe they are, "crazy like a fox" as the saying goes...

HA! I can totally see that----but, Kim and Kanye can be so disgusting, sometimes, that it's easy for one to forget how "smart" they can be----for instance, BOTH are smart when it comes to business. BOTH have surprised me, more-than-once, when they spoke like they actually had a brain----they might be SHARING one, but.....! LOL

That's not what I meant. :lol:

The You-Tube video is called "Top 10 Celebrities Who Are Famous For No Reason." It still makes me laugh every time I watch it. :lol:

There was also author/playwright William Saroyan, and composer Arem Khachaturian.

Steve Jobs was Syrian, and not Armenian. And Princess Dianne Spencer was of British aristocratic stock, and not Armenian. Don't know how she got on your list.

Can some brilliant computer hacker PLEASE develop a worm or virus that, whenever Kim's name comes onscreen, it is immediately replaced by Malala Yusufzai?

Or Golda Meir?

Or Mother Theresa?

Or Tahiri?

Or some other remarkable woman who DID something?

Wouldn't you agree that there are plenty of names that are appropriate for sports teams that don't make good children's names, and vice versa?

In my opinion, sure. But without some actual argument about why one might be "bad" my opinion about children's names are very different from each other person's, making them all equally valid.

What exactly is offensive about calling a child, "Saint"?

I agree completely.....every one of them uses every aspect of their lives for attention.

Its not the worst thing in the world to name your kid "Saint".

But if you're gonna do that why not just go all of the way- and just name your kid "God"?

In the late 1960's, Grace Slick, lead singer of Jefferson Starship, did name her newborn daughter 'God'.

Sadly, that's a bit of an urban legend. China Wing Kantner was born on 25 January 1971, in San Francisco, California, USA. From IMDB:

"In an interview for the 2003 book "Got A Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane", Grace Slick revealed that the origin of this story was a joke she had with one of the nurses in the hospital shortly after China's birth. However, the nurse did not understand it was a joke, and called reporter Herb Caen at the San Francisco Chronicle, who printed the story. According to interviews given by China and both of her parents, at no point has her name ever been "god", the name on her birth certificate is China Wing Kantner, and all stories to the contrary are simply repeating the urban legend that began with Grace's joke with the nurse shortly after China's birth."

However, it looks like a guy up in Canada legally changed his name to God, so I suppose anyone could name their child any variation thereof.

In Tennessee, apparently at least one judge won't even let you name your child 'messiah' because the judge's god might be offended:

Not offensive, just funny, especially coming from a known narcissist like Kanye.

I wonder if it's the original Charteris books they're fans of. Or maybe the Roger Moore TV series?
