I'm afraid I have to agree. My name is Rebecca and I cannot STAND it. On like the second page someone said someone had named their daughter Crystal but this person thought they should've called her Rebecca or something... I like the name Crystal WAYYYY better than my boring stupid name. I go by Becca or Bex, even though someone once told me calling myself "Bex" is pretentious (that jerk.). So, while I totally agree that some of the names in this thread are too weird or dumb (like Apple. I don't like that name. Or Fifi whatever. bleah.) I much prefer "interesting" and "creative" names to things like Rebecca. I know too many people who hate their common names, mostly for the fact that they are common.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese
Ok, I have to say this and no offense to anyone, but this is the most conformist thread I've ever read in my entire life.
It's like people who have the slightest bit of imagination get comdemned for thinking outside the box.
I love all of the weird or unique names mentioned in this thread (and yes, I read the whole thread). I love TigerLily, River, Stormy. A lot of names mentioned may seem weird but a lot have ethnic roots, which I'm sure no one cared to look up before they decided they were "stupid".
Oh and I have to say, I LOVE the name Justice!!!!
If I see another Emma or Ian I'm going to puke! These names are soooooo boooorrrriiinnnnngggg!
I wanted something no one else had and I wanted it to mean something to me and my husband and to HECK with what anyone else thinks. If you don't like it just be glad it isn't your name and move on. It's no wonder kids tease other kids or are judgemental...they have to learn it from somewhere IMO.
My son's name is Telaryn (Tahl-aaron) Kiel (Kyle) Zackary (Zachary) Nic****-Gra*** and he is 1 of 2 in Canada. I know the other one personally (except his is spelled Taleryn) and that's how I found out about the name. It's ancient Gaelic.
I might be pregnant right now, so I'm looking into T names. The ones I like so far are celtic. They are Tynan, Trystin or Trystan, and Trynt.
Anyways, that's my rant LOL.
However I do know some funny names.... Crystal Chandelier (yes I actually know this person), Sandy Beach, Candy Hart (both of these people work at my college)... etc. etc. IMO the awful names are the ones that are too easy to make fun of. Children can be horribly mean.
