I saw this come across the news wires earlier and the first thing I said was, "I hope they're saving money for the therapy bills for that kid when she's 18 and realises her parents are fucking morons."

This. Too bad they don't live in a country where it's illegal to name your child a number (I feel as though Australia is one of them, or used to be? I can't remember).

12th doesn't really flow like George Costanza's SEVEN does it?

Pumpkins -- lots of countries have laws about what you can and can't name your kids -- Germany, Japan, China, Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway.

And given the bat-shit crazy names we come up with in America, I can't say as I blame them....

My friend named her baby Seven. I didn't know you could use actual numerals in a name.

My friend's husband wanted to name their baby Janus (yawn-us). Her eyes bugged out as she explained that all she saw was "anus" with a J. I have no idea what her hubby was thinking.

@pumpkinsandturkeys -- You mean, oh, EXACTLY LIKE THIS:

Hahahahaha @HisGirlFriday13 -- YES! Precisely.

Geez, the graphic even looks like a weird sphincter.

HisGirlFriday13

Show that to your friend's husband. Be like, 'Do you want your kid to remind everyone of a sphincter? Do you? DO YOU??'

As a teacher, I ran into some great ones.  Although a kid in my friend's classroom wins the contest: her name was Abcde.

Abcde.

Pronounced Ab-sah-dee.

@HisGirlFriday13 : said friend replied, "This is why he no longer has access to the name book or a highlighter."

I totally get cultural names reflecting a child's ancestry (even though I am really thankful my parents opted to give me a more American name and keep my Chinese name for at-home use only). But seriously, ridiculous names that will get your kids beat up at recess? Not so cool.
