I was in the library and all of a sudden I hear this mother yell....


"Beyonce, Beyonce!!" and here comes this little 3 year old saying, "here I come".



I know I said I'm like Beyonce more and more but I don't wanna see a bunch of little Beyonce's roaming the streets.

i've heard someone calling their kid Mariah in a super market once. it's strange when you hear of people with unusual "pop star" names. i bet someone else has named their kid Usher!

dancerella said:

Mariah I can deal with. Beyonce is too much.

CynicKill said:

Can you imagine how many "Sade's or Charde's" there are running around in the hood right about now

nammie said:

oh my god, that shit is funny but you know it's true. how about omarion? or maybe it's too soon for that.

dancerella said:

I almost forgot to mention that I know someone who named their child Arsenio!

I'm all excited waiting for a baby Prince or Madonna, myself.

nammie said:

I work with a girl named Sade.

Rhondab said:

I think Beyonce us an ugly name

dancerella said:

That's the Spanish version of the Greek name Arsenios. I don't think that's too wierd

There was a little eight year old girl named Appolonia in this summer school program where I worked.

Oh Lawd, at least its not another Eesha baby

I've know people who named their kids:
Sade
Mariah
Infiniti
Imagine
Lexus
Elektra

Add Daquiri to that list.


Beyonce that's a no no....

I used to go to school with a kid named Michael Jackson. And everyone picked on his name all the way through elementry school. How silly.

And i used to work with a girl named Celine

Daquari?
Why name your child Beyonce? You're only setting that child up to be tortured. Since we're talking about bad names, two of the more outrageous ones I've known: D'Miracle and Candi Apple.

I know a little girl named Oprah.
How heinous is that?

OMG, does she talk about her best friend Gayle all the time?

paisleypark4 said:

Daquiri ??? The poor child! Why don't these parents see they're setting their children up for a childhood full of torture? And Beyonce - I'd Hafta smack a person upside their head for naming their child that .

I'd have to divorce myself from my parents for that one!

Some parents in the program I work for have children with names like:

Alize
Porsche
Trinity
Ashanti
Prosperity
Denzel
Gennessy
Aaliyah

funkyslsistah said:

Yeah, I've heard Aaliyah and Porsche.
Alize? Damn
Gennessy - did you mean Hennessy?

funkyslsistah said:

THESE make me wanna fucking cry

That's how it is spelled in our system, it could be intentional. Hopefully not as a coded remembrance of a special night with a special drink.

Back in the 80's popular hood names for babies were Alexia, Krystal and Dominique.

funkyslsistah said:

Sadly enough, that might be true.

no no..HOLD UP HERE!.LOL

i'm from chi-town and the kids i grew up with has some nicknames!


try these on for size:

"TUD"(older brother of the bottom two. forgot his name though)

"SY-Pie"(his real name was charles)(brother)

"Saddy Cat"(her real name was amanda)(sister)

"Killer Gray" (father of the above 3.this name sounds like a boxer)

"Disco" (the neighborhood kitty cat.i named him that for the many colors on his fur.he would start chasing his tail at the sound of music)


This Should Be The Name Of All Names For Your Child...NOT.lol


"DAWURL"


anybody else?

they were talking about a kid a few years ago named Lemonjello...which of course is just Lemon Jello...so that's what all the kids called him. you know growing up in the hood back in the day, I think 3 out of every 5 mothers put a "D" in front of their children's names to sound more exotic than they really are (of course my middle name is D'Andre, so i should know )

I work in a middle school and in my classes alone I have two Mariahs and one Appollonia. I'll probably have to wait a few years for my first Beyonce.

i go 2 school with kids named james brown, chuck woody (yes its his real name), prosper and love
