Giving Your Kids a Creative Name

You'd Think...
You want your kid to be special. There are a few million Daves, Bobs and Johns running around NOT being totally awesome and obviously it's all because of their boring-*kitten* names. So you decide to name your son something original, like Malcolm, Ivan or ****smash McIroncock.

But in Reality...
You have just sent your flesh and blood straight into the middle of a massive man-rape in the prison shower. According to a study at the Shippensburg University, kids growing up with ordinary, popular names have a higher chance to become law abiding citizens, while all the unusually named ones should start deciding what state they want to commit their first felony in (friendly tip, skip Texas). The study lists the top 10 bad boy names in America as: Alec, Ernest, Garland, Ivan, Kareem, Luke, Malcolm, Preston, Tyrell and Walter, which we must point out are not the names of any serial killer or presidential assassin that has ever existed, so we're assuming the research is skewed in a certain direction.

Although, Steve Buscemi played a serial killer named Garland in Con Air, so we guess that's maybe half a point?
The theory is that the additional attention garnered by odd and unusual names can cause peer ridicule and discrimination in the workforce, which tends to result in a few thousand Alecs and Prestons stealing toilet paper from the gas station. So do your kid a favor and give him a typical law-abiding, mentally stable name, like Michael.

My wife likes a name that someone has suggested, and i do like it but it was an old girlfriend and she doesn't know that, i just say i don't like that name. I can imagine all my friends saying he name her that cause he still is in love the the old girlfriend.... i dated this girl over 15 years ago BTW...

Tell her. She will abandon the name real quick! You sooo cannot name your child the same as an ex. Your wife would kill you if she ever found out...

I'm a Caitlin and it is one of the hardest names for people to grasp when I'm calling for appointments, etc. since there are 100 ways to spell it..but like all names, sometimes you just have to see the little guy/gal and the name will come perfectly!

What ethnicity is your family? Mine is Irish & German, so I suggested a lot of Celtic and Germanic names for my sister's son. We have a Kerry, Kelly, Moira, and Greta among my cousins.

Does your family have any traditions you can commemorate with the name? Since my family were farmers for many generations, and still really enjoy gardening, we tend to have a lot of plant & tree names. In my family we have a Lily, Holly, Willow, Aspen, Ash, Lee (which is an old word for "meadow") and Rose.

I also like names that mean something. I went to school with a girl named "Liberty." Then there's Grace, Serenity, Destiny or Joy.

And it you get completely stumped, you can always just go with birth month. I have grandmothers with middle names "June" and "May," and a cousin named August (he goes by Gus).

Lil_MiSsSunshiNe

Mia, Olivia, Regan, Rylee, Chloe, Eva for a girl

Oliver, Jaxon, Noah, Abel, Jacob, for boys

I've thought and re-thought baby names probably a million times.

Girl names I like: Senna, Amanda, Ingeborg (Norwegian), Elizabeth (Lizzy for short), Ellinor (a family name), Emelia (another family name), Linnea (too common in Norway now, but this is my sister's name), Emely, Freya, Elsa (family name again), Sophie (my niece ), Liv (means life).. agghhh too many.

Boys names I like: David.

Elizabeth_C34

William is a good one. It's traditional but can be shortened in many different ways. Andrew is another one that can have multiple nicknames.
