I'm really struggling to think of names that end with the letter D. David, Donald, Richard, Gerald, Conrad. Muhammad ? What are all these once-incredibly-common boys' names ?

The other day at work I heard a mother call out to her toddler son, "Mason! Come here!" I thought she was just another white middle-class soccer mom choosing a last name as a first name, thinking she was being unique. Later that same day I heard on the radio that Mason was the 3rd most popular baby name for boys this past year. I dunno, I hear 'Mason' and I just picture all these women giving birth to 76 year-old men.

I'm trying to remember where I heard of a baby named Mason and turns out it's Kourtney Kardashian's son.  Well he certainly looks like a guy named "Mason Dash".

I know a guy (who is in his late 20s) named Maisen and I always assumed it was pronouned 'mayz-en' until I heard someone say his name out loud and realised it's just a dumb way of spelling 'Mason'

I work at an after-school club thing where we babysit kids until there parents pick them up. Some of the kids names are certainly "unique". Braxton and his sister, Brakayla Amara Alyvia Rourke Darica Naveah And an interesting name choice - There's a mother who named both of her kids after herself i.e her name would be "Kennedy Johns", she named her kids Kennedy and John.

I went to school with a Mason, I guess he was born in 81 cause he was a year younger than me. Until recently, he was the only Mason I'd ever met.

The first one always seems weird enough on its own and then the second one sounds so forced even in comparison that it makes it that much worse.

Interested that this gets brought up now. I was just in a class on psychological testing for work and the instructor mentioned once receiving hospitalization records from a person who's name was, as they said, "a mathematical construct." The mother was schizophrenic, according to the family. I really want to know what his name was, but Privacy and Such.

^The hardest part is getting them to acknowledge the existence of the man inside the Big Bird costume.pookel posted:gently caress those parents for putting their kids' names and faces out in public like that. How's she going to feel when she's an adult and trying to have some kind of normal life, and that story is the first hit on any Google search of her name? If she does have anything resembling a normal life, I imagine she's going to feel like someone who has had schizophrenia for most of it. There's no way the people in her life aren't going to know that, and that's okay; there's no shame in having a mental illness. Besides, putting her name on their charity sounds a lot better than "The my anonymous kid is really sick and probably won't lead a normal life, honest Foundation." Six year olds basically never get those sorts of diagnoses.

I felt bad, he seemed really emotionally strung out the day I met him, I dunno if he's like that all the time though. If I don't have him mixed up with a different kid, he has I think an older sister who has a comparatively but not equally weird name.

My friend had a piece of paper that had names of people in one of her classes (for a project I guess) and I took a glance at it. Your parents hate you Yena, Zye, and Kattianna.

First name: Jaelynn. Middle name: Zaelee. Edit: I am seriously going to name my future child something like Henry or Ruth, but maybe normal, grandparent-sounding names will be back in style by then. Rollersnake has a new favorite as of 07:23 on May 14, 2015 |
