    I went to school with a girl named Tibia Payne. (Nice girl and she may have spelled it Tybia, I don't remember) Isn't "tibia" a bone in your leg? Perhaps her mother suffered from shin splints while she was pregnant??

    Yes, should could have named triplets: Tibia, Fibula and Femur...

    Awww, that's my daughter's name. :heart:
    Same spelling, like the flower but everyone wants to spell it Lilly.
    And here I thought I was keeping it simple and easy for her...

    Lily is a great name. Just not with Pond.

    Some names are always bad. Some are just bad in certain combinations.

    My son's name is Jett, which I didn't think was weird, but my grandma needed a year or so to get used to it. I sometimes get the "did you say Jett??" response, but not too frequently.

    My sister had a couple friends in high school named Diamond and Princess...can you imagine being a grown woman named Princess?? Like putting that on a resume?

    There's a Cleveland Browns player (used to play for LSU) named Barkevious Mingo. I really wanna name my next dog Barkevious. It sounds like a royal dog name.

    If I ever have a girl, I really want to name her Brumhilda. I think it's a beautiful name. My boyfriend says that's definitely not happening. Also, I will love my daughter, so I probably shouldn't do that to her. Maybe I can use it as a middle name.

    Apparently they call her "Northie" which is kind of cute. But they chose North because it means strong and powerful.

    I like odd names. I would love to name my daughter Irelyn one day but my husband is like "HELL NO."

    LOL!

    i like it too.. i've heard worse.. & i'm with you .. i like unusual names .. no one will forget you that's for sure.

    Yeah, don't do that! Middle name is fine.

    My uncle's ex-wife is a social worker, and she said that some woman named her kids Syphilis (pronounced Sa-phyllis) and Gonorrhea (pronounced Ga-Nora). WTF?

    I saw an "In Memorial" post in the newspaper once where the five surviving children were all named after cars. I can't remember all of them but two were Mercedes and Tercel.

    My nephew, Keegan, told his mom he didn't like his name and wanted to change it (he's 8). So every morning when she woke him up she'd call him some other name.....Frank, Phillip, Clyde.....he'd always tell her "No, I don't like that either" Until......Cleatus. He smiled and exclaimed excitedly "Yes! Cleatus! I like that!" So now we all call him Cleatus. LOL

    I told my wife if our child was a girl, we were naming her Polly Esther. Thankfully, we had a boy!
