Shame he didn't stick with the flower theme and named her Rosie.

I work at a company that makes EVA foam mats. They can be for commercial uses, but our main audience is parents who want a fun, safe space for their kids to play. Part of the service we offer is customising the mats with the kids' names. I've seen the whole parade of Brayden/Jayden/Kayden before, but I saw a pair of names recently that had me reeling. They were Brynleigh and Aluralyn. I also encountered an Aquannette today.

I worked a patient's account and her name was Cummie Smith. Born in 1922. Maybe Cummie was a more common name back then.

I know it seems an awful name for people nowadays because of the obvious, but I can't imagine how this poor lady managed to get through the cold war with a name that's so close to Commie.

I did a little googling around and there are a bunch of old ladies named "Cumonie," possibly also related to "Cymonie" and "Cymon" (I wonder if that's just some wacky language's feminized version of Simon?)

Uh, no Commie would just name themselves Commie. If you think about it, it's the perfect disguise.

I like how she assumes that it's the baby people are judging. Kid's not even born, and she's already deflecting her poo poo onto him. Good luck, little SSS.

My program recently got two students. The enrollment staff call them "the twins." They are cousins born one day apart whose parents decided to give them the same names, first and middle and last. I can only imagine their fathers were brothers who really wanted to be the first to name their child after a relative and the second one's parents didn't know the other had beat them to it.

I just realised my name, while perfectly average, is also a terrible name. My mom and family were sure I was a boy, so they had a boy name chosen. Well, I was a girl. So she was stuck trying to find a name for me. A lady in the hospital had let her borrow a book so she named me after the main character. She named me Christy. I'm Jewish.

The Christy Huddleston connection for sure is weird but the strange part is giving a Jewish kid the name of the founder of Christianity. Because Christy literally means Christ-Like. It would be like a white redneck kid named Mohammad.
