aardvark15	I've never understood the concept of banning a name simply because someone else became infamous while using it

oh, and I never liked "Virginia", an inappropriate name for any female, for obvious reasons

Ha! I had a boss named Virginia many years ago, and she was a total cunt.

A month or two back, I read a story online about a couple who named their newborn daughter "Hashtag". WTF? Who names their kid "Hastag"? disbelief Are they going to call her "Hash" for short? lol I feel sorry for her when she starts school. Kids are going to pick on her because of her weird name. Kids have a tendency to pick on anything that seems different to them.

Here's the link to the story:

A girl I work with had a baby back in October. They named her Wynter. Not sure if I like that name or not. It's different, that's for sure.

RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.

Osama is a general Middle Eastern name, Rumania is not in the Middle East. According to the newpaper report I read, this woman didn't even know where the name came from.

Years ago our local doctor was called Dr. Head and he had a son whom he called Richard.

True.

"Dick Head"! "Dick Swett"! Hilarious! falloff

The year my son was born, there was another boy born in our province whose parents named him 'Matrix'... poor fella.

Also, I know a girl whose birth name is Treasure Isles - no lie.

RodeoSchro	I knew a guy named Richard Head. He was a successful insurance agent but drank himself to death. I always figured his name had something to do with that.

I knew a girl back in school whos parents were Dick and Rosie Thies. Depending on how you prounounced the last name you had Dick Tease or Rosie Thighs. Unfortunately her name was Paula.

Named after their grandparents?

Semi-famous stupid Dutch man called his twin boys Rolls and the other Royce.

99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.

prittypriss	There is a memorial bridge in North Carolina, called the Peter Guice Memorial Bridge. I kid you not: http://www.guice.org/pgmbnara.html AND what is wrong with the name, Dakota? I named my son, Dakota. It means friend or ally. I have found the name to be wonderful and it fits my son very well.

Timmy84	Some people wanted to be "creative" is my best answer to this. Then again I got as much of a problem with people who rename themselves to a Bill Cosby soundalike sound effect: [img:$uid]http://yababoon.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/bizzare-name-man-600x350.jpg[/img:$uid]
