Strange baby names?

My nephews name is Roxton. Cant say that im a fan. I dont know why. :ohwell:

My sons name is Jacob and I think its boring. He looks like a Troy to me. My husband wanted to give him that name. I also wanted Joaquin (pronounced wah-keen not jo-kwan)

ha ha these are all funny! My cousin named his son Rocket. They are tatted up musicians so it actually kind of works. Speaking of names, I won't tell you crazy internet ppl what my name is but I will tell you that I share the same name as my father, brother, grandfather and greatgrandfather....then I went and married my husband who also shares the same name as me...and his father, grandfather and greatgrandfather. We have absolutely NO plans of keeping with tradition

Wow!! That is crazy!

I cant stand guys that have girl names like...

STACY

sucks for them

A lot of those names were originally guy's names: Kelly, Ashley, Lesley, Beverly, and (I think) Stacey. Of course, we're talking in the 1800's, but they went through the same transition as Jordan, Taylor, etc are going through now.

Still hard on a guy these days to have one of those names, though.

Well my name is Laurel (which I do like), but it is a rare occasion for people to get it right. I hear Laurie, Lauren, Laura.

To make it worse, once I married my husband, my last name became Laren.

Yup, Laurel Laren. (no 'u' in that last name, folks). Almost EVERYONE calls me Lauren (which is neither of my names, thankyouverymuch). I do a lot of correcting. :ohwell:

I am also a professional belly dancer, and I do not use a stage name, but the owner of the restaurant where I dance used to introduce me always as "Laura" (he pronounced it "Lah-oo-rah" -- he's Greek, whatever), but eventually he decided that "Lola" is better for me. He even wrote it down so I could see how it's "better". Um . . . gee thanks, I'll let my parents know, I'm sure they'll be grateful.

My son's name is going to be Copas. It is the last name of my grandfather. A lot of people who didn't know him think the name is strange but to me it is second nature. My grandfather was a coach and whenever I was little that was all anyone called him when I was around. I also just found out that my mom was called Copas (seeing as that was her last name as well) all through college. I am glad to be naming our son that unusual name.

my husband went to school with a girl named onya johnson ( i think her parents probably didnt like her much )


i like unusual names my daughters name is kennedy ( i didnt know any other girls with that name til i had her )

i have a son named Maliki ( which i later have been told is a very bad childs name in something called children of the corn or something )

and my youngest son is Kaegan ( pronounced kay gun ) we were informed after he was born that that is the name of a head vampire in some movie. lol

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)

I knew a Freja! It's the name of a goddess I think, this child was an evil shedevil. I also knew a Forrest, but he went by Fritz

Freya/Freja is the Norse Goddess of beauty, love, and war. She's pretty awesome! (I had a Great Pyrenees named Freya. She was beautiful!)

I named my son Rowan Aurelius..... I like it! It flows well with his last name. If I ever have another baby I plan on naming a girl Lily Sophia and a boy Sterling but I have no idea what middle name I'll give him.

My step son's middle name is Sterling. Grant Sterling is his name. Looks just like his father too. UGH! lol jk

I love the name Sterling! I always thought if I had another boy, his name would be Sterling Michael. I like the name Apollos as well.

In some European country (Norway, I think?) they just passed a law that actually makes some names illegal. Included are Lucifer, royal titles such as Duke or Bishop, and the number 89.

Glad I don't live there!! My son's name is Bishop Sterling!!

ETA: My neice's name is Magdalynne Grey...Thought it was strange. They call her Magda for short...Idk why they don't just call her Maggie, it would be a less weird nickname...

I have a damien too!!! my mother in-law didnt like it at first

Some more names I like:

Brynja (girl) - pronounced "bryn-ya" - an old Norse name meaning "armour".
Toulouse (girl) - pronounced "too-loose", after a city in France.
Behati (girl) - pronounced "bee-hot-ee"- means "blessed; she who brings happiness" in Afrikaans.
Lars (boy)
Tobie or Toby (girl or boy) - Tobias for a boy
Matias (boy)
Niko or Nico (boy)

Some more names I like:

Brynja (girl) - pronounced "bryn-ya" - an old Norse name meaning "armour".
Toulouse (girl) - pronounced "too-loose", after a city in France.
Behati (girl) - pronounced "bee-hot-ee"- means "blessed; she who brings happiness" in Afrikaans.
Lars (boy)
Tobie or Toby (girl or boy) - Tobias for a boy
Matias (boy)
Niko or Nico (boy)

"too loose" might not be the nicest name for a girl . . .

Let's hear it for redundancy!

In grade school I had a friend named Kerrie-Sue Carey. Then there was a guy named Tom Thompson (really? the parents couldn't think of anything else?) This also goes for John Johnson and Mark Marks, and while we're at it, we can throw in Sirhan Sirhan.

there is also the seemingly innocuous naming of a girl that is later derailed by her married name (this happened to me). I also have two acquaintances, who after marriage became:

Kelly Kelley and Marie Murray. bummer.
