   The first itme I had ever heard the name Nevaeh was on an episode of 16 and pregnant. The 16 year old pregnant girl thought the name would be unique and perfect. And now grown ass adults who should know better are making it popular. Seriously? So every time I hear a parent naming their child that, I keep thinking, "you are…

He has kids named Adolf Hitler Campbell, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell, Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell and Heinrich Hons Campbell. His latest girlfriend named their kid Eva Braun…

   While I'm on a computer and able to post: I've been following this thread for a while but haven't posted because of TK's screwing up mobile posting. My great-aunt had three children. She named her son Gavin* and everyone called him Gav or Gavvie. She hated the fact that he was being called by a nickname instead of his…

   My mom's maiden is a difficult German name. Her brother took to using "Wang" for reservations and the like because it was easier. My last name is unusual and long though nowhere near as difficult as people make it. FI's name is much shorter but very similar to a slur in his native language. I'm tempted to change my name…

Apparently there are boys out there named: Clever, Klever, Furious, Happy, Boulder, Colorado, Zurich, Chevelle, Subaru ,Pacer, Tripper, Trotter, Edge, Gatsby. And…

   Oh fun fact on spelling. Both my first and last names are common nouns, spelled exactly the same way you would spell in the dictionary. But the last name is also commonly misspelled when it's used as a name. Like if the noun was Carpenter, but people constantly want to spell it Charpentier. So I'll hand my license or…

   I get all sorts of crazy names from my OB patients (I've perfected my fake "oh that's nice" reply with a smile). One of my favorite stories is from a situation where I was trying very hard to distract this woman from what was going on, so I kept the conversation going further than I normally would: Me: Do you have a name…

   A friend of mine is currently dating a hipster douchebag who had his name legally changed to an onamoneapia. Jerkface apparently had a very normal name, but as an 18 year-old pothead hipster fuckwad, jumped through all the hoops to have it changed to a sound. Good thing he's in some creative field because there is no way…

   Same here. And saying "Like in the dictionary," or "Like in the Bible" never helps. I've said, "Spelled like the actual word: someone building something with wood" and then they go, "So, C-H-A-R-P-E-N-T-I-E-R?"* *Not my real name but I'm going with the Carpenter example still. Make me stabby. Also on a tangential topic.…

    I've always loved Izzy for a girl for a shortened version of Isabella. Because I always loved the name Isabella. Then Twilight happened. I have a guy friend named Izzy, it's his nickname for reasons no one really knows. There's a very good chance he nicknamed himself Izzy.
