[QUOTE="Lil, post: 664868, member: 17309"] I've mentioned before that I work in child support. As such, I get to see lot and lots of "modern" baby names. AWFUL. Not just the ones that are spelled "uniquely" or the parent's throw Ja or De or thank you in front of a perfectly normal name, or toss in a random apostrophe for no apparent reason...we get some real winners. I've seen Princess, Queen, King, Prince and Sir. Yes, Sir. So his name will always be Sir John Doe. I guess they wanted people to always address him formally. I've had a "Truly Uniquely" and a Lucifer. We actually have a running joke about the number of Jaydens and Nevaehs we get...really, really popular. And I had a number, it was spelled out, but the kid's name was Seven. There are the names of products that always get me...Dasani (like the water), Jovan (like the cologne), Armani, etc. Lots of alcohol names, Tequilla Rose and Jack Daniel and even Courvoisier. I'm waiting for little Viagra Smith or Cialis Jones to come across my desk. We recently had a Cristal (pronounced like the champagne). We had one with three boys, Hunter, Fisher and Trapper. People love to make the kids names go together - or to name them after the parents. I had one family of six kids and every one was a play on the name "Anthony"...which was dad's name. I had a Arwen (Lord of the Rings). My all time favorite couple with the last name "Soldier" - they named the child "Universal". That wasn't even a good movie! That just doesn't even scratch the surface. What people do to their kids amaze me sometimes. Makes my old lady name sound pretty good. [/QUOTE]
