    I like weird names... My children are going to have really eclectic names! I'm a big fan of these names:

    Tea (girl) pronounced Tay-a
    Finnigan (boy) - I realize this is not a totally weird name, but kind of a rare name. Nickname would be Finn.
    Anders (boy) - popular Scandinavian name, but not popular in the US.
    Bine (girl) - another Scandinavian name. Pronounced 'bean'.
    River (boy or girl)
    Freja (girl) - Scandinavian name.
    Gunnar (boy) - Scandinavian name.
    Hanne (girl) - pronounced Hanna.
    Harbor (girl or boy)

    Taylor Hanson named his son River Samuel. I love it :)

    My mom's old bass player had kids named Nico and Nigel.

    I also know lots of hippies. One of them has gone with strange names for their kids (Star, Rain, etc.) I am a somewhat of a hippie myself but never considered elemental names.

    My Dad is called Nigel lol

    I love different names! My daughters are named Raven and Valora. I wanted to name one of them Oncidium (but that was a little to out there for the husband lol) but if we had a boy I would have loved Lucifer or Malikai as a name.

    I do think you should be able to name your kids what you want within reason for the childs sake, realize that some parents are not good parents and who knows why you would name your kid harry ball, or sh!thead, Satan, or any other really negative or ridiculous name that would get them teased and ridiculed relentlessly throughout their life. Thats the kind of names I don't agree with. Hitler, Radio science, Nevaeh (heaven backwards) are all fine to me, it's just the really ridiculous and mean ones that you know will have an impact on that child growing up that I don't agree with. I mean seriously should you be allowed to name your child Whorebag? I agree with the poster below me, you should have to take some kind of a test before having a dang kid these days. Ever since common sense became not so common I have changed my views a bit.

    Personally I don't think the government should have any say in what you name your child, regardless of how ridiculous the name is. That being said, I also think people should have to take an intelligence test to be able to have children :) I've met a ****hed, he pronounces it Shi-thed. My sister has a boy in her school named Onetwenty and my sister in law named her daughter Cherry..I feel very bad for her when she has to go through highschool.

    I met someone named extrafine once, yes extra fine. Interestingly she wasn't, I guess people don't always grow to fit their names. oh and there is a movie star who's kids name is I am pretty sure pilot inspector.


    Yup, it's Pilot Inspektor and it's Jason Lee's kid - the guy from My Name is Earl...

    What about Nicholas Cage's kid, Kal-El. Really?

    And "Audio Science" -- that's Shannyn Sossamon's kid. For real.

    Naming kids Princess (Katie Price's daughter) or Prince (Michael Jackson's sons) does not in fact make them royalty.

    Speaking of the Jacksons, Jermaine Jackson names his kid Jermajesty. Get over yourself...

    And on the over-ego front, didn't George Foreman name all his kids something with George in it. Like Georgina, Georgette, etc... Give me a break. Is there anyone else in your universe other than yourself?!?!?!

    People are idiots.

    My sister-in-law is a teacher and had the name *kitten* on her student list a few years back. It was pronounced Ash-hole-e!

    I am a big fan of unusual names. My oldest daughter is Dallas. We've only heard of one other female named Dallas. My second daughter is Jurnee (pronounced like journey). Unfortunately, we've had a other people in our area use that name since she was born - with various spellings - and now know of at least 6 others, one even in our family.

    I've always loved the name Lilith and had always said my girl would be named that until my ex named his kid that. I remember the first time I told my mother in law I wanted my next boy to be named Damien I thought she was going to have a stroke.

    I don't know if this is true, but I have heard about these twins from a few sources. In a town close by to where I grew up, there were these twin boys named "Orangejello" and "Lemonjello" - Pronounced Or-ahn-gelo (like Michaelangelo) and Leh-mahn-gelo... but they spelled their names Orange jello and Lemon jello. I knew people who worked in the school that they went to....

    I just met a student of ours and his name is Ben D. Ovar

    I also met a girl when I was in the Air Force, and she was in the Navy. Her rank was Seaman, and her last name was Guzzler. She didn't think about that one before she joined the Navy.

    One of my friends has a nephew named Jasper. A co-worker recently named their son Clyde. I realize these names aren't that "out there" but all I can think is poor kids. Thank goodness you can change your name when you grow up. I've always hated my first name and I plan to drop it when I get married.

    My mom's husband's name is Clyde. I love him and he's fantastically awesome.

    My boss's name is Clyde too but he goes by Rick. Best boss in the world. :smile:

    I happen to like names like Lilith, Kali, Lucifer, and Damian, but I choose to use them on my pets so that my kids don't have to suffer. lol I also like a lot of Irish names that Americans can't pronounce like Ciara and Caitlin. Again, saved them for the pets. The vet still gets them wrong, but at least the dogs aren't humiliated. lol

    I've heard a lot of strange names, but I think the one that takes the cake was a woman named Vagina. She pronounced it "Vajeena". I think I would have changed my name if I were her.
