BATMAN - WEIRD NAMES

Dracula
By Dracula

The pitfalls of choosing striking or weird names
Remember that you are taking full responsibility for creating an important factor in your baby's identity.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us

Selecting a name from the category of Weird Baby Name's runs the risk of being faddish and associated with a particular period in time or a particular country.

A weird baby name must be suitable throughout all of life phases ( "A Name isn't just for a birthday - it's for life!").

Consider the phases and our life cycle starting with baby - toddler - school child - teenager - young adults - parents - middle age - retirement and old age.

Will the weird baby name that you have chosen suit a pensioner as well as a baby? Will the schoolchild be teased mercilessly? And what will your baby think of your choice? Will they thank you for constantly having to repeat and spell their name to people for the rest of their lives?

Remember that although the name is weird, or out of the ordinary, it will be widely used - so other people must be able to say it and spell it easily. The name should not suggest anything undesirable or silly!

Studies undertaken by eminent psychologists suggest that people who have striking, or Weird names, considered odd by those around them, can experience great difficulties in their normal social relationships.

i've heard of kids called "Ja'Quelah", "Tar'Leithah", "La'Keaelle","Ra'Fiqe-Shaboom'ba" ... and even "My'Unique Angel"... seriously what the hell, your kids will learn how to spell "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" before their names.

Just my opinion. :)

in most african countries, parents will do one of two things:

translate literally an african word (from their local language) into english and therefore losing its true meaning and becomes wierd!

or theyuse an english word that relates to the time in their lives when the child was born. for example, one man i know accused his wife of having an affair but beofre the child was born, they resolved the issue and now wanted to put it in the past, they named the child "Forget"!!! the child after that was called "Forgiveness". i have heard very wierd names in my life in Africa:

Cement, Godknows, Givemore, Lovemore, Learnmore, Trymore, Happymore, Grey, White, Gracious, and the best one: Carrot!!! NO JOKE PEOPLE!!!

That region Nikita is a boys name it didn't really occur to us that it would cause confusion till we came here and she made friends with a girl at her school who is from Azerbaijan, her Mum had a laugh with me when we met over it as her daughter would come home from school everyday talking about this girl Nikita, her mum thinking that she was just getting her english muddled kept correcting her saying no I think you mean your friends a boy.

Yes it is weird. For example, at the end of WWII in Soviet Union, even in my country, when people were on wave of victory against Nazis and blinded with Communism, parents were giving some weird names to kids, sometning like Traktor/m or Traktorka/f (tractor), Mashinka (machine gun) etc etc. But some times parents were playng with names and surnames, so you can find Rumenka(Crimson, Pink) Guzic(A**hole) or Tarzan and Brus Lee:)
