Lala, I'd like to thank you

For making me read STFU parents today.  Because I found this:

And, apparently someone named their child (or perhaps a pet) Dazzling.  I'm guessing child since most pets don't need scheduled nap times.

I saw that one. I am in love with the fact that someone named their kid that. it's pure gold.

That leaves me with what?  Katniss?  Peeta?  No thank you.

I want Glimmer.

alixzafiris

I called Glimmer. Though I'll swap you for Gale.

Damn. Parenting fail that I gave my son a normal-ish name.

laladypoet

I call Wingspan and Banjo.

alixzafiris

Banjo is possibly the best name ever.

I'd also like to submit Trust and Phonebook for my list.

I read an article a year or so ago.  I would love for someone to find it and tell me it was a lie.

The woman named her kid Le-A.
Pronounced: La-dash-ah.

I wanna know why "rebekkah" wants her kid to take a shorter nap so that he wakes up later in the morning?  Shouldn't a kid that young be going to be before 9pm? 

BTW - don't hate that my next 2 kids names will be Saw and Knick-Knack. 

laladypoet

I've said this before, but I've seen three birth announcements where the kid was named Abcde, pronounced "ab-sid-dee."

I also saw one where there was a " in the middle of the name, and it was not a typo. I know, because I used to type the announements up for the newspaper and I had to call the hospital to check.

Propecia Dickendash has a certain ring to it.

alixzafiris

Yeah? Well I plan to name my fourth child Echinacea.

I'd like to add Laykin to the list of bad names.   Also, this is hilarious.

OMG that's ridiculous.

Wrkn, my friends were just talking about that the other day!

I've seen some weird ones, but they're relatively minor compared to these.

One was "Beau Hunter". I made me want to go hunting.

Another was "Sam Munn"..... like salmon.... word has it kids were asking about the trout baby even before it was born.

Wrkn925

Not a kid, but we had a lunch lady named
wait for it....

Nova Cain

That's her married name, so she chose that, which almost makes it worse.
