Forget that! My first son is gonna be Leekspin Remy!

Screw you both. My child will be Kentucky Fried Cruelty.com. Followed up by GoVeg.com of course.

My kid is gonna be named petakills.

WIN!

Indeed. I have been potential-child-name PWNED.

Little baby Georgebush.

Best (worst?). name. ever.

My best friend wants to name her children:
Pip Pip Cheerio
and
Applejack

Both of which I'd rather be named than "4real" (see how I related it back to the topic there? )

I seriously feel bad for that kid. I think naming a child after a "product" is just awkward. Or naming a child using chatspeak, or numbers. So, any updates on the kid 4real?

Oh my.

... and my girlfriend thinks kids would get picked on for having the names: Ragnar, Thor, Sven, Odin, or Halfdan.

Maybe this will help convince her!

I'm going to name my kid after myself. Gingerharpsealpup. All one word. I think it's lovely, don't you?

It'll be hard to fill in those little bubble sheets on standardized tests.

True story: I had a friend named Christopher in junior high school, and we took standardized bubble tests every year (this was long before No Child Left Behind, but most states did it anyway). Anywho, the bubble sheets only allowed 9 letters for first names.

We never did find out why this was, but I grew up in West Virginia, and Billy Ray is only 9 letters, as are Bobbi Sue and Sally Mae...

Back to the topic, every state-mandated test he ever took listed him as Christoph. And of course it threw his promotion from one grade to the next into a tizzy every year, because there was always a Christopher Smith (not his real last name) who hadn't taken the standardized test required for advancement, but this Christoph Smith kid seemed to do real well, despite not having any grades or being enrolled or even being a real person, and so every year he had to get the principal to write a letter and stick it in his permanent file saying that Christopher Smith and Christoph Smith were the same person.

Only in a bureaucracy would this happen every year. At the same school.

In PA, there were only 8 spaces. I was Cassandr every year...my aunt actually told my mum that it was a reason to choose a different name for me, as she was always Elizabet on those tests and she hated it.

Now I'm grateful for only having a four-letter name. Weee.

Whenever I take my CAT test, my name is seemingly "Ashleig". No room for the H at all.
