I'm bored, so I was thinking up baby names for fun. I have always liked Lucy, Cadence, Jack, Michael, Emily, Gabriel, Charisma...

    Must be a woman thing... as I have NEVER pondered baby names.

    However, I have come across several that I wondered what their parents were thinking:
    1) Candace (Candy) Valentine - Her B-Day was Feb 14th.
    2) Long Dong
    3) Honey Bear Hoover
    4) Wei (Way) Wrong - And he usually was

    I like new age names that white people trying to be trendy are coming up with...

    Ashley Jordan

    But I've always loved Oksana Marie, Nicholas Alexander, and Victoria Anne

    I'm a big fan of jacking up the spelling of normal kids' names to mess them up for life.

    I prefer classic stripper names for girls. Cristal, Cinammon, Candy, Juicy, Diamond, Lucious, Magnolia. You know, keep it classy.

    For real!

    No, you're not a hipster, how's little Connor and Sienna doing? Oh now Brooklyn is on her way, huh? Congrats.

    *may fill up thread with hipster baby names instead*

    i'm pretty annoyed at people naming their sons Grayson these days. :angry:

    One i find overly amusing is - wife is a baby catching nurse and told me this one.

    La-a Pronounced Ladasha.

    Poor kid.

    Names I like

    Penelope (my daughter)
    Henry
    Maxwell
    Victoria
    Stella

    I was waiting for this one. Now we wait for:

    Lemonjello and Orangello
    Deniece and Denephew
    Female (fuh-Molly)
    Shlthead (sha-tead)

    and others I can't think of at the moment. I, too, was a baby catching RN. I never met anyone who did this to their baby.

    Since when is Connor a hipster name? I know a guy in his 40's named Connor.

    I really like names typically used for the opposite gender. Like Shannon for a boy or Ashton for a girl. My husband isn't a huge fan of that, so we probably won't do that with our kids.

    Like I said, I don't have kids, but here are some names of kids in my husband and my families...

    Jessica
    Braxton
    Abigail
    Lila
    Mariah
    Destiny
    Hunter
    Jordan
    Dustin
    Caydence
    Sabastien (yes, spelled like that)
    Kholton (yes, spelled like that)
    Madelynn (same mom as the previous two)
    Joshua
    Brandon
    Ashley
    Tiffany
    Kevin
    Kayla
    Savannah
    David

    ...all but one of those are kids in my husband's family. Kids running around over there like roaches. Hasn't anyone ever heard of a condom? Ugh, southerners.

    Oh man the list is crazy long of silly names....I feel for the kids.

    I am more annoyed by obnoxious spelling than obnoxious names.

    I know someone who named her daughter Ryliee. WTF is the point of the "i' if you're going to put a double "e" on the end? Your child's name will be spelled incorrectly 97% of the time for the rest of her life. Congrats.
