If you are in need of a chuckle...

Life is depressing sometimes, between current tragedies, work, family, etc... it's nice to have a good chuckle.  

CN:  God awful names that people are naming their children.  (FTR, I just realized I love the name Adler.  Will that make me a terrible future parent?)

    I saw that last week and loved it. The commentary was the best part but I was seriously perplexed by many of the names.

    My husband and I were laughing over these the other day. We've always liked a particular boy name for a girl, but I am slowly being shamed out of it.

    The Blayde one was pretty funny.  Heck, pretty much all of the commentary is pretty funny.  I particularly enjoy the one with the apostrophe.

    I saw a kid named Messiah the other day. That one floored me and I'm pretty immune to shock at this point.

    Oh and Lbarr, after reading the list, I don't mind Adler or Ryker for a boy. Ha. But those extraneous y's are so annoying I could never do that to my kid.

    My favorite bloggers kids are named "Archer, Fable, Reverie, and Boheme" (I think it's Boheme, whatever, they call her Bo)

    I like the name Archer. Fable is a little much for me.

    That is my H's favorite girls name. And I really like it too, but we'd probably call her Brooke. It's actually like the #21 name in the US for girls in 2012.

    Same here. We've debated Brooke Lynn as two names or Brooklyn as one. Note: not Brook'Lynn, lol.


    And Annyston?!

    that's kind of what I was thinking. Like in theory, Aniston is similar to Addison (kind of?) which is super popular. I don't hate it, but I wouldn't name my kid just because of the celeb reference.

    I used to love Caden so much. But now there are just too many Caden/Kaden/Kaiden/Kayden/Caeden's.

    I just hate the random y-ing of names nowadays. I'm not opposed to different, nontraditional names in general, but just uneek ones for the purpose of being different.

    I have an odd first name and it was the bane of my existence as a kid.

    ETA: posted too soon. I hated my name as a kid, but it's fine now.

    I just saw that someone named their daughter Aaliyah (pronounced a-lie-a).  Not a fan.

    Aaliyah was a semi-popular singer in like the late 90s maybe? I think its A-lee-ah. That's also one of the top rising baby names in the US, like top 50 maybe.

    Lol.

    I wonder what they say when the kid hears the story.  "Umm, we didn't PLAN that you'll eventually kill your brother, but if it happens, we won't be surprised."

    Omg, Cain and Abel?  I would definitely go for Cain though.  Actually I know a Cain, but it's spelt "Kane"

    I just reread it and I don't know why the Nyfe one is cracking my ish up.  I'm getting strange stares.  Haters gon hate.
