i picked up a baby naming book
and my real name is on the list of
"no kid is cool enough to pull these names off now"



but i have 35 years of experience and i rock it quite nicely

We named my son "Angel" in honor of my husbands grandfather who raised my husband. No longer had we filled out the birth certificate when we wanted to change his name to a traditional american name, instead of such an ethnic name. Angel is a very common name in Mexico for men. But, we did not...we went with it. And in all honesty the only time he had a hard time with it, was a couple times in elementary school, when a new kid would ask his name or something like that. All of his friends and school mates were use to it, and never gave it another thought. Now as an adult, in the profession that he is in, he likes the ethnic name. It makes him stand out and be proud of his ethnicity, he is young a mexican/american professional.

I was supposed to have been named Miguel Angel Gomez but my dad said "No. No. I don't want him to suffer like I did." His name is Jose de Jesus Gomez Garcia.


I wish he would've kept the Angel middle name though.

My son's name is Angel Pacheco, how ethnic is that!

PaisleyPark5083 said:

Oh damn . I actually really like the name Pacheco.



I've always been kinda grumpy about my name 'cause it's so American and everyone else in my family has really ethnic names. Jessica And my parents didn't give me a middle name. I mean, damn..... can I get a Maria or Mercedes or Altagracia or Amarilis up in there?

jess555ja said:

see that was me, I gave my daughters, traditional american names: Andrea, Michelle, and Kelly. And their big brother Angel.

PaisleyPark5083 said:

My parents went with Jessica (me obviously), Melissa, and Viviana. WTF? My youngest sister got the best name. And I always loved my mother's name.... Lourdes Celenia. If I ever have children, they are soooo gonna have Hispanic names. I love them.

I think my children's names are going to be Techron, Chevron and Propecia.....can you tell I watch a lot of commercials?

theodore said:

And....?

It just looks like a painfully boring, normal name to me. What's the worse could happen? His classmates will think he was born in the U.S.?

sexxydancer said:

meow85 said:

meow85 said:

lol i don't remember... you know my real name! am i on the list?
it's so much cooler how i spell it anyway


btw why do you have a baby name book missy?

sexxydancer said:

Those people crack me up.

"We're going to have how ever many babies Jesus gives us."

Jesus has nothing to do with making babies! Fucking does!

emm said:

I don't remember. I haven't look at the book in a while.

LOL Don't worry, I'm not planning for anything! I did a project for a class in high school a few years ago on baby naming trends, so I've got like 10 name books that I never got rid of.

meow85 said:

I guess my mom stopped at 9 cuz she ran out of R names.

sexxydancer said:

I could probably think of more R names. But still, 9's enough.
