Both of my daughter's names make the top ten!

Any parents that name a daughter this have to turn her loose somewhere in Africa when she hits 18.

Dominic, I just had a moment from this post where I just paused. I basically almost crapped myself. Because I had it scrolled so I could read "names that guarantee your daughter will be a slut" and during the second before my mouse hit the scroll arrow I was thinking Shannon and Amber to myself. Those two were by far the biggest sluts at my Kansas High school, and being a legitimate pretty conservative place at the time that was creepily absent of sluts, those two were most likely the only ones in my class who slept with more than ten guys during high school. I then proceded to hit the scroll button and when two out of the three names were Shannon and Amber I spaced out in zomg fashion for a good 5 seconds.

btw, Shannon is still a good name. I Shannon

In a haze the other night I thought Sol (the spanish word for Sun) was the perfect girl name... Then I figured most people would just be calling her Saul, so I've found some variations... Solaina

This is weird, there's currently a thread about this on my other forum

Worlds Colliding!

Both women I've known called Holly have been hot.

'Claire' is my nemesis name. I've known so many women called Claire, had something going with two of them, both ending badly. Consequently, I'm very wary of any new women I meet called Claire.

I've heard this same story from about 15 different people, with slight variations, e.g. "My (friend/relative/significant other) who is a (teacher/doctor/landlord) has a (student/patient/tenant) named Orangjello or Lemonjello. Until I actually see birth certificates with these names on them, I'm declaring it an urban legend.

I like these. Not a big fan of Laura, I would substitute Emily, always liked it. Agree with the sloot names for sure. Flowing with the last name is important.
Cassidy flows with my last name, is a Grateful Dead song, and I dug it. Althea was actually considered, but couldn't pull the trigger. Liked Scarlett before Johannsen, now it will be benign. I've given Sofia some thought, I picture Coppola, whom I like a lot and find the name very feminine and pretty. I like Sara without the H, but then again I'm sticking with the Dylan/Dead references One old , old name I kind of like is Estelle. Don't know why, but I would consider it. Good list.

Son was definitely going to be Maximus before Gladiator came out. Family name, plus it flows with last name which is similar to Antonius, just a little different.

To clarify, the name does not sound like So-line-ah, but So-lang (silent g/h)-ya the silent g/h should produce a nasal sound. do you like it?

Snopes knows of at least one Lemongello, but it's spelled differently.

I think Alma is quite pretty

I'm with you on Olivia and Laura. Also a big fan of Lauren. Another personal favorite is Jordan, and I like it for boys or girls.

I think its funny that all of your names from the bad list typically belong to someone who is currently over the age of 50.

wtf is this a level?

grunching so may have been mentioned but a girl name i just can't stand is "bobbi".

Worst name of all time (male or female):

Skylar

oh, I forgot my nieces' name: Tessa Grace. I like when the first and middle name go well together. Very pretty name.

I kind of wanted to name my daughter Marietta Georgia [last name] to honor where she was conceived, but that idea got nixed pretty quickly.

I remember reading about Lemonjello and Orangejello several years ago in some chain email, and now apparently there's a Lemonjello and Orangejello who went to school near me. But after hearing several other people talk about Lemonjellos and Orangejellos who went to school with or near them, I'm convinced that none of them actually exist. That or black people really really suck at naming their kids.

One of my more trustworthy friends says he knows a girl named "Shi-thead", which obviously is spelled ****head. I choose to believe this one exists because it would be so awesome if true.

Here's a silly name story. Years ago a friend of the family told me a story about a woman that had a baby in a taxi outside one of his stores. Supposedly the kid was named
"Taxina" LOL. Probably BS, but it seemed like a true story at the time. Guy was kind of a
joker though.

So I work in the field of child advocacy - removing kids from neglectful/abusive parents and providing services
