~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.~

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.

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.

I think it's a personal choice what you name your children - as long as it has a meaning to you -

I never understood the one name in the phone book when we were kids ((when we were at the age of prank calling people)) :)

Peter K. Whacker Jr. ((yes, I'm serious!!!)) I remember it like it was yesterday!! :lol: now, WHY would you do that to your kid????

Levi was a pretty common name when my kids were growing up (in the 80's)
My dh has a very unusual name that makes everyone think his parents must have been hippies. It's actually Scottish, but unusual, and I've never heard/met anyone else with that name.

I must say I do not really see the difference between Levi and Jonathan (I assume it is spelled like this). They are both biblical names.
