[QUOTE="donna723, post: 177712, member: 1883"] I had two C-sections and I don't remember getting any drugs that would have even remotely made that sound like a good idea! It sounds like the parents wanted to show off their own cleverness and didn't give a rats' rear that the poor kid would have to contend with that name for ever! I was soooo careful picking out names - it took me months to decide. I was admitted to the hospital the evening before my son was born and I took a baby name book with me. I had the first name but hadn't decided on a middle name. I went through the entire book trying them all out with the first name I had chosen ... I got almost to the end before I found one I liked. His middle name is "Wade". And I was determined that neither ones names would have the cutesey "alternate spellings" or any of the other weirdness that is common today! You really have to feel sorry for some of the little kids today - the ones with the 20-letter long "original" names that are full of apostrophies and hyphens - the names you can't pronounce, even if you sound them out. I just picture the poor little things sitting there in kindergarten, clutching those big fat pencils in their tiny little fingers, struggling to learn how to write their names! [/QUOTE]
