I feel kinda bad for kids whose parents try to be creative with names and gently caress them out of ever finding a tourist trap knicknack with their name on it.

I know people with a kid named Blayde and another one that they're going to name Bronx. I guess I can give them credit for that one being an actual name even if it's not a people name.

The challenge of naming babies now is this:

Do I reject the absurdity of the current naming trends and pick an old rear end name like William

or

Just name the little poo poo Jayden and be done with it. Mediocrity for a mediocre lad. You've failed me, boy.

or

Do I acknowledge the current naming craziness and try to anticipate the NEXT awful naming trend so my kid's ahead of the game? Meet my son, his name is Brompden.

I taught third grade for two years, up until I decided I wasn't crazy about teaching and changed jobs. My '13 class had a "Bear" and my '14 class had a "Baer". no third grader can live up to a name like that.

the new windows 10 ad has a kid named Milan, I guess that's the new Paris?

Milan is a common Slavic name (e.g. Milan Kundera), so even if the parents did actually name them after the city the kid can at least lie about being named after their Czech great grandfather or something.

How did Madison end up a girl's name, anyways? It's a patronymic that gained prominence because it was the surname of a founding father.

Little Aberdeen is a nice kid with an unfortunate mum. Both her parents are from New Zealand, but they currently live in California. Her mum wanted to put her in beauty pageants for a while, but the family made so much fun of the idea that she didn't. I'm glad, cause Aberdeen has a hella lazy eye. Being a nice kid is way more important than wearing fancy rear end dresses and winning best in show at baby Cruft's anyway.


Forgot to include her brother's name. Ayston. Pronounced like the Aston in Aston Martin.

Also I'm guessing you guys are giving out names of friends' children, or children's friends. How do you all know so many children? I dont know if names that come from lovely media or made up vowel vomit is worse. Why don't you find a solid name from those baby lists. YOUR CHILD HAS TO GET A JOB AT SOME POINT
