just for fun...what would you NEVER name your baby?

Ok, so you've been offered a million dollars to name your baby...Dorkus.

Would you do it?

Definitely not enough money in the world to put that kid through that kind of torture. DH joked that we should name the baby Rusty Shackleferd (I think it's from some show). It was a joke but not a very funny one! I have an uncle who's last name is Faucet and he joked that he wanted to name his new son (who is 2, his oldest is 25) Rusty....get it Rusty Faucet. haha - not!

No way...I went to elementary and high school with some kids that had some pretty bad names...I couldn't do that! Plus, a million dollars doesn't go as far as people think it does. Make it $100m and then MAYBE I'd consider it. hahaha

Good point AM, in this day and age it wouldn't surprise me.

Heck we are getting flack because if we have a boy his name will be Ethan Matthew Edens, Ethan Edens is too many E's they say. I think it sounds just fine. It's not like I don't know a James Jones, a Brooke Brooks, a Tom Thompson......

Yeah, My SIL's grandmothers name is Dorkus. So funny I know. She is like 80 though so I guess it is alright, and she goes by Dorkus.

In the office I work in there are tons of files all over the place. One day I came across this file and someone's name was actually, Harry Johnson Jr. So we laughed and giggled like little girls when someone mentioned, yikes he is a Jr. So somewhere in that family there is an old wrinkled Harry Johnson Sr. wondering around! We laughed for days, still do sometimes.

Where I worked before I too had lots of paperwork flowing across my desk, hiring paperwork and tax forms. I have many names that stick out from that including Summer Camp, Mahagony Ebony, Princess Jules, etc. Amazing sometimes. I'm definitely not going to Apple, Peaches, Phyneaus levels that's for sure!
