I just read that Jessica Alba named her baby Honor Marie.   Honor?  Come on.

Well at least that's better than Knox!

Penn Jillette named his daughter "Moxie CrimeFighter"

I shit you not!

So  "Sue" would not be on your list for boy names, huh?

  Nuts indeed!  Diesel?  Yikes!    

Mylie Cyrus' given name is actually  Destiny Hope Cyrus. Not much better.   Her uncle called her "Smiley" which she could not pronounce.  It came out "miley".   That, of course is a perfect reason to let your child officially change her name, right?  BTW... I only know this because I have a nine year girl.

Jeannie

Edit to add;   I once worked with a woman who's son and daughter-in-law named their baby Silver Autumn   Nicole.  The daughter -in-law had it written in a baby name book.  The woman I worked with wrote "the Lone Rangers horse"  next to it.  LOL  they named her that anyway!

My given name is Madeleine Wanita Ashgrove, after growing up with that name I decided to name my daughter something just a little updated and normal. Its hard growing up with a weird name, I don't understand why some parents are cruel to their kids by naming them off the wall names like that, its not like they are the one who have to live with it their entire lives or anything.

What about George Foreman, all his kids have normal names LMAO

We have a friend who has THREE full sisters named Patti.  Her dad liked the name and just kept naming them Patti . . . . go figure.

Whatever happened to Edith, Enid, Shirley, Arlene, Agnes, Edwin, Irvin, Irving, Augustus, Rudy, Frank, etc.??  I can imagine a grampa Roy or Grandma Ava, but I can't imagine a grandma Tiffany, Brittany or God-forbid, grandma Diva-muffin!

We named Jrbrew (Roy) after two grandfathers (one from each side).  When he was about 6 months old I had to get him liquid antibiotics and the pharmacist asked why MR. MITCHELL needed liquid - was he infirm and couldn't swallow pills? (I'm sure he was thinking Mr. M was my dad or grandad).  I told him Mr. Mitchell was only 6 months old.

Confirmed for me that my son had a nice strong adult name.

(And I kid you not, there is a girl in our community who is OLDER than the scandal, but is named . . . . .
Monica Lewinski!!!!)

Our cat's name is Ellie, but when she's feeling particularly spunky, we call her Fionarocious.

Nikki Sixx named his oldest son Gunner, just so when his name was on a list it would be listed as Sixx, Gunner.

My dads name is Gray J
My moms is Sheila Rae

So when my sister was born her name became Tamara Grae

My folks where sure that I was gonna be a boy.
My first name was supposed to be Shane Wayne (I know that would have been cruel) , but when I came out missing certain parts  they called me Traci Waine.  Shane was from the damn movie that my mom liked. She said that she wanted to put me on a horse and yell "Shane, Shane, Come back, Shane!!!" My middle name came from my Grandfather. 

In the 70's Traci (and all of the different ways to spell it) was a boys name.  Now you dont hear of many boys named Tracy.  So every year that I started school and the teacher called out Traci Wayne Gordon I got teased up the ying-yang.  "Dick Tracy" "Flash Gordon" it was so much fun.  And then of course once I hit Jr High and High School... you have the bad porn of "Flesh Gordon"  Yeah I LOVED my name. 

My daughter is named Krishara Renea...  Krishara is Celtic for "Winter Star."  She goes by Shara.  But she loves her name.  I did not want to give her a long middle name, and Renea sounded right.

My son is named Cameron William, after his Dad and Grandfather.  Cameron is my husbands middle name and I love it. Butyou can t get more traditional.
