I suspect the husband and wife who named there child Adolf Hitler, might also be brother and sister

As for the celebs who call their children weird sh!t like Apple . . . it's just a very sad cry for attention. If you really want to make an @ss of yourself in the public domain, then fine . . . but don't inflict it on your children.

For some reason, my wife would not let me name any of our daughters Jarella.

Oldest two are Savannah and Madison. For the last one, I picked the name Ania because I wanted her to have a polish name. It means "grace" which is appropriate for what she went for her first two years of life. It's different but not too out there.

Audio Science? Really? Yeah, giving your kid a really weird names is pretty much the same as painting a target on their back for the rest of their lives. Another one that gets me is spelling a common name completely different for the sake of being unique.

After reading the Game of Thrones books I'd like to name my daughter Arya if I ever have one though. That kid cracks me up.

while i fully agree this is a terrible group of parents, where do you draw the line. would the government be as quick to swoop in and take little Louie Farakan Jenkins away from his family?

on a similar note i seem to recall a story a few years back where some country ( i want to say sweden or switzerland) actually can veto a bad name a parent wants to give their child, the parents in question tried to name their baby metallica and it was shot down

Here's ANOTHER case, so where do we draw the line, indeed?

We were having a hard time deciding what to name our son before he was born a decade back ... that was till it dawned on me while reading the Logan' trilogy. I suggested Logan on a long car trip while I was reading the 2nd book, and my wife & daughters loved it. Thank-you William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson. I sometimes call him Logan-one.

Naming him after Logan from Logan's run is awesome!!

My ex-wife used to joke about naming our first son "Hunter", so when roll was called the teacher would say "Gay, Hunter".

She had an endless number of these (Gay, Chase etc etc )... witticisms.



mmmmm... no.

LOL.

I always thought the Mission: Impossible character Ethan Hunt has a naughty name. Say it fast and it sounds like eaten _unt.
