Carbon Thief posted:I had to find out if those kids are always stuck wearing dumb hipster poo poo... not quite, but the Mom's blog has tons more pretentious photos. And the kids are named Plum, Sailor, and Bird. Okay, I saw that her kids, from oldest to youngest, go Julian, Plum, Bird(ie?), and Sailor. The first one got a normal name and the second got an unusual, but not completely out there name. Then she hits the crazy fan of names.

In a world with people named Cherry and Apple I'd rather it be used as a nickname or even middle name, but it doesn't make me go as crosseyed as Sailor and Bird do.

Wait, why is the baby in the photo called Gemma then? Maybe those wacked out names are just nicknames... though that wouldn't explain why the oldest one is just Julian, I guess.

Ohhh, thanks. I probably should've been able to figure that out. It will be interesting to see the names of these youuneeque children's future children. I want to live to see my grandkids' friends being named Dreidel and Philomath and Wonderwoman and poo poo.

This is exactly how it goes. Naming is cyclical, where the plain named folk give their kids fancy and/or unique names, and THEY give their kids plain sounding names.

If you were going to give an unusual name to your child, why not just make it the middle name? Like, sure, going with Charles or David is quite boring, but making the first name Destry, Kyd, or Kal-el is a bit too far in the other direction. This is not even mentioning Moon Unit, Diva Thin, or Tu(Morrow).

Met a guy today named Chase Teats. There's probably not a lot you can do to improve a name like Teats, but I wouldn't have combined it with a verb if I'd been the parents.

Postal Parcel posted:If you were going to give an unusual name to your child, why not just make it the middle name? If your dad is Frank Zappa then being named Moon Unit is the least of your concerns, so he gets a pass. Also if you're super famous and/or rich then you can kinda get away with it more. If some billionaire actress wants to name her kids something stupid, well, that's going to influence society and it'll be a common name soon enough. But you're just not special enough to get away with the same. Stick to the classics.

There are so many unusual and uncommon names from all cultures that are nice but hardly used, so I have no idea why people have gone to naming their kids after random locations, superheroes, or maybe some stuff they found in the junk drawer in their kitchen. There're a lot more options between John/Jane and loving Michigan Crockpot Squirrel. Like if you want to name your kid after a bird there's plenty of nice poo poo you could pick, why would you name them loving Birdie? Like the McDonald's character? "Oh this is my other daughter, her name is Hamburgler  "

A friend found out at 16 (due to a learner's permit application) that he had no legal first or second name for some reason. His paperwork had been filed and everything, his mom had just been super indecisive about his name or something so his birth certificate just listed him as his surname only. He wound up getting to pick his middle name and chose Danger for essentially every reason you can imagine a teenager wanting that as a middle name.

I had a "normal" name growing up, but only one classmate ever shared it, and just for one high school class one year. I loved that so much, I made a rule when we named our kids: It can't be in the top 100 names, but it has to be "normal" (you'd be surprised how many names fit that category. Actually, I made one other rule: Iambic meter to match our last name.

It’s clear that Nintendo is not just done with the Wii U but done with the company. There is no recovering from a conference that bad. I loved this company and put my heart and soul into dedicating my gaming life to them. But now, I have nothing. I’m an empty shell. I'M RAGEQUITTING YOU NINTENDO! hahaha
