Wow, she's just beyond beautiful.

I know a girl named Beyounka I told her your name isn't Bianca it's BEY-YOUN-KAH

she didn't think it was funny. I also knew a Anthwaune (Antoine)

I also know a Liberty, Harmony, and Melody, I am still waiting to meet a Strange(stran-jay)-you know from the Boomarang movie. You know she's out there.

I mixed up the spelling on my daughters name but only her middle name can be considered Ghetto,

with my youngest I went ethnic but pronounceable

Thanks (I had anything to do with it ) This pic does nothing for her beauty. She is the prettiest little girl and VERY sweet. My cousin is concerned that she will have some issues with ppl always telling her she's pretty but LD seems to be fine. She just likes to get her play on.


And Buttah...so far so good...LD is the only odd name in the family. Even our ghetto family members have names like "holly" and "veronica"...


my mom had a friend named Truelove.

Ok, I was talking to my bestfriend's husband and he works at my son's school. He will never forget this little girl whose name was spelled: Leseeria. Now, looking at that, there are a number of ways you could pronounce it, right? I can assure you though that according to her mother, you are wrong. He mother prononces it:


Lareesia (La'-ree-see-ya)

...and will cuss you out for saying it wrong too! That type of denial amazes me! The only thing I could figure is that she may be dyslexic causing her to put the "r" in the wrong spot.

Don't tempt me. I'll be visiting you one day in Europe with my son St. Patrick.

Rhondab said:

She's gorgeous. And I like her unusual name.

ThreadCula said:

Nope.

me and my friend was talkin bout this exact thing in spanish!

she asked me, would u every name ur kid porsha?? i was like nahhh its cute but i aint name my kids after things. then she was like i'm be ghetto and name my kid lisole! (that cleaner stuff, i forget how to spell it), then she was like nahh nahh my kids gonna have ho's @ the end of they names. then she proceeded to name some ...ho's, then i said what about mayho (my-ho) and we started jokin on all the ways folks could joke on that name, then i was like its gonna be mayho and taho! i actually dig mayho tho, lol

i think i only ever knew one person with a "ghetto" name. chyneesha, we called her chyna tho. our teacher used to always fuck up on her name and call her chynessa or chyneska. i knew this boy named rashawn but its pronounced rajohn
then there was this little boy in my old school named prosper, i had a teacher named ya-na-tee but it was speled nyomontie (something like that)

i like ethnic names. i knew a girl named ore (everbody used to joke on her and call her oreo) and her sister was olutosin (we called her tossi), my 8th grade teachers name was zadiah

i hate country ass names tho. my grandma's name is mae. now mae by it self is nice but when put shit in front of it i can't stand that. so my middle name is mae, first name maya. my friends joked on that shit (and said it with a twang!!) for the longest


whoever named their kid langston amir thats real pretty

Rhondab said:

awww shes adorable! those eyes are sooooo beautiful

Lammastide said:

That reminds me of 'Three's Company' where Suzanne Somers' character was named Christmas Snow.

I admit I used to really like the name Paris (for a boy) before a certain socialite became very famous.

How about Kal-El? I wonder if Mr. Cage will change is name to Jor-El at some point.

sextonseven said:

I still like Paris for a boy, but for me Helen of Troy's lover and the city come to mind, not Ms. Hilton.

I'm friends with a pair of sisters named Aphrodite and Artemis. It's not fucked up really, because they're Greek and named after their grandmothers. Their brothers are Kristofer and Sebastien.

I don't know what my mom was thinking I mainly have to say my name twice or more.

meow85 said:

I knew girls named Aphrodite and Artemis as well. I think they are beautiful names. I also knew a girl named Athena (which is not weird, but it's along those same lines I suppose).

I also knew girls named Andromeda, India, and Ostrey. Also three girls alone in my high school in San francisco named Isis. 3!!!

that's a rather appropriate name for a cat, however...

minneapolisgenius said:

My daughter is Elektra. My own name is Greek, and I love ancient history...

Her cousin is Sebastian. But he's French.

Heiress said:

Cool. And I've always loved the name Sebastian. That was also my yoga teacher's name. (well, it still is, he just moved to Switzerland. )

minneapolisgenius said:

It's been the trend here in France recently to name children after their grandparents... So all the old names are coming back - stuff like Lucien, etc.

minneapolisgenius said:

Aphrodite's always saying she's going to find some nice Greek man named Hermes and they'll call their first child Hermaphrodite. Seeing as her current is named Ryan though, she may need to think up a backup plan.

Heiress said:

Heiress said:

Interesting. Lucien was always on my list if I ever had a boy actually.

So if I named my kids after my grandparents, then the girl names would be Lorraine or Clothilde, and for the boys it would be Howard or Aristeo.

I'm just as bad ..if I ever had another girl I would seriously consider calling her ocean

Not the same but I just spoke to someone called 'Mrs Cupboard'.
