Baby Names

**northernmom2boys** · 01-02-2008, 12:58 PM

Has anyone in your family or close friend named their babay a name that you just couldnt bring yourself to say out loud to the baby.My sil has named her baby girl a name that sounds like a brand name of tools and a coffee maker lol .First of all nobody can remember the name and it just doesnt sound right saying to a little baby.Anybody else come across this or am I just weird lol

~My bro and his wife named their daughter a Hawaiian name and they're considering another Hawaiian name for the baby they're expecting now. They just seem out of place and VERY hard to pronounce and remember. I've seen instances where those with odd or ethnic names were unfairly discriminated. Hopefully that won't happen to my nieces.~

Im pretty sure that nobody except family is going to pronouce this name properly.Oh well guess we will all have to practice lol

I have a nephew named Valoric. I kid you not! Ugggghhhh. Appparently it is from Dungeons and Dragons. Yeah, weird. I wanted to start calling him Rick but my brother says no.... I guess we are used to it now (he's 4) but it's still too weird for me

Well, I used to work with a girl who named her little boy Human Manly. I kid you not! I could not bring myself to call him by his first name, so I called him Manly or Little Man. Beautiful little boy too.

I have a cousin who named her only daughter Heavenly Grace. We call her Gracie.

My nieces name was suppose to be Mylay...a Hawaiian name my Brother & Sil picked out when they were there on vacation and also was married there.
Anyway..I told my brother that that name would cause her alot of suffering from classmates as she grewup..They did change their minds and her name is Maylea Kate..it's unique thats for sure..My Aunt wanted to name her son Levi ..thank goodness she changed her mind and named him Johnathan.

Wanted to add that my baby cousins name is Sky...and no his middle name is not walker..LOL..

~May-leak-ah? That'll be approriate when she's spitting up, teething and potty training. LOL!~

Dh's cousin recently gave their son the middle name of Danger. I think it's interesting, anyway... I also know someone who named their daughter Azlan, a change in spelling but after Aslan, the lion in the Narnia stories.
