In the past week, I have SERIOUSLY heard people that have used these names for their babies:
Cinnamon
Magic Lee
Purpil
Life
Kilo
Miracle
What are some people thinking????

Fire can be a cool and cruel last name. I work in HR so people always say shouldn't it be Hire not Fire?

People tease with the following name selections all the time:
Forest Fire
Ready Aim Fire
Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire
Come On Baby Light My Fire

All girl names in front of Fire make them sound like strippers so we will have to choose wisely!

One of my friends named her daughter Rainy Lane. Another friend named her two daughters Blessing and Miracle.

I think Blessing sounds too much like somebody just sneezed and you are saying "bless you."

My MIL used to work in a day care center and had a kid named Messiah. Talk about pressure!

I would not name my baby French lol. I just thought of that when i seen this post.

French Fry .....ummm nope i think not lol
Curly Fry.....ummmm nope not that either
ok so i am not sure what else but those for sure are out. However i do call my hubby Fry Daddy and Collin small Fry sometimes but that is just nick names not something they have to put on paperwork ;p

Well, my last name is Mayer and I desperately wanted to call our boy Oscar but I was vetoed by the whole famn damily...go figure.

My DH thought that it would be funny to call our twins...

Ike (after the recent hurricane) & Tina

Especially since our last name is Turner!

I think some of these names must be urban legand b/c I've heard the "sha-thed" (s***head) name before too. Anyone heard of twins named Orangejello and Lemonjello (Or-aungj-ello and Lem-on-gjello)?

I have to say that I really don't understand silent consonants, apostrophes, or complicated spellings. It seems like you're setting your child up for constantly having to correct people when they say the name wrong. Don't these parents think about graduation? It would be terrible to work hard to graduate and your name is mispronounced on such an important day. Life is complicated enough, don't you think?

Like someone said earlier, I also wouldn't name my child a super popular name. Since I'm a Melissa, I know how it feels to have several kids in the same class with the same name. It is really annoying (to me anyways).

I took care of orangejello and lemonjello in the early 90's. They were at Childrens forever!!

My husband's family is Cuban and my dad thinks it would be GREAT to make our child Fidel! I think it was secretly heartbroken when he found out we are having a girl...no Fidel. However, he did then come up with several female variations of Fidel...Fidelina, Fidelity, Fidalia, etc. I really think he's kidding! What makes all of this even better is that my husband is the least Cuban looking person ever!

My DH works with kids all day and he saw a (caucasian) kid named Jihad - just cause the parents thought it sounded cool. That kid is gonna have a hard time for life getting on airplanes or getting into other countries I bet! (Jihad is arabic for most commonly "holy war" - it can mean other things but that is what it is most commonly associated with).

LOL! Love this thread :-)

DH worked with a guy named Richard Manual, and he went by D***! Now why would you do that to your son?!

[renni1010]

I used to have a neighbor who named their daughter Mercedes and their son Benz!!!

I would never name my kid Moon Unit, Moxie Crimefighter or Diva Muffin.

I also dislike the names Rose and Marie. Not sure why, they are normal enough, but I just don´t like them, they sound old and fat to me.
