names, good and bad - Page 6 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I like Stephanie, although it's overused around here. Another name I've only heard once or twice and really struck me as awesome was Vera (Vee-ra or Vay-ra).

My half sister was named Amber with the middle name Lee which is super porn star esque.

Also, Rita's daughter's name is Astrid on the show Dexter.

Well, it's not pronounced like "If I trip I'm gonna fall on you." And Swinn Cash is a WNBA player. Women's pro basketball jokes aside, don't even tell me you don't think that's a kick-ass name!

Ok, so maybe I've fallen a little under the sway of the bizarre celebrity baby naming trend. I have odd taste, what can I say. At least I didn't put Suri and Pilot Inspektor. Though I do kind of like Shiloh....

And I like Astrid, too, so I'm not sure where that puts you, Pongo. Sorry.

Religious Spanish girls names are the worst:

Purificacion
Encarnacion
Inmaculada
Concepcion (though this can be shortened to Concha, which I rather like)

Read an article about parents in New Zealand who named their kid Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. Child was made a ward of the court until the parents changed the name.

I like Penn Jilette's daughter's name: Moxie Crimefighter. Sure, it's goofy and there's some teasing that can be done a little bit (though guys get teased more for their names than girls; girls get teased for appearance), but for the rest of her life she can say her middle name is Crimefighter, and also just calling someone "Moxie" is pretty cool.

I think the implication is that since it is possible to be a little bit slutty, it is also possible to be a little bit married

my head hurts

I remember getting his basketball card when I was kid and thinking wtf. Seriously, who names their kid God? Those are some sick expectations to live up to.

According to Wikipedia, his father, who was also named God.

We need to stage a one-on-one between him and Jihad Muhammad.

Neveah is the worst girl's name EVER. Not counting the ridiculous ones you see on the "missing children" all at your local Wal-Mart, of course.

Seems like every other baby girl these days is named Sophia or Olivia. Isabella isn't far behind.
