    If I ever have another child his name or her name will be so outlandish he or she will be ridiculed for his or her natural existance. If they are twins....I am thinking chit and chat. Boy will be Oops girl will be Uhoh.

    I doubt that the ridicule they will be experiencing will be because of their name. :mrgreen:

    I've always liked having an unusual first name, helps people to remember you better when they meet you for the first time. Of course I've always heard plenty about being a "Benson from Benson"!!!!!

    When naming a child, look at what evil rhyming names children can come up with. Then look at what the initials might spell. Try to imagine a five-year-old trying to learn how to write his/her name. (Creative spellings cause problems). Try to imagine the frustration when nothing on official paperwork is ever spelled correctly due to the unusual spelling of a name. Then try to imagine if this name could ever cause your child to resent you for saddling them with it.....

    TRUE stories: I taught a child who thought the capital of Burkina Faso was a beautiful girl's name...I asked her why she already hated a child who did not exist. (The capital is Ouagadougou, pronounced Wah-ga-doo-goo). I have taught children named Tequila (she told me she was named after the drink) and Turquoise (her mama thought it was a pretty name, but the poor girl could not spell it correctly at age 11). My sister has taught PrinceWilliam, ThankGod, Hallelujah, and Diablo (All four were siblings. Hallelujah was the only girl, ThankGod was the boy after her...she was a "trial" according to the mother. The capital letters are intentional in the names. The oldest child was called Michael.) I taught a boy named Conception. (He knew what it meant!) A friend of mine knows a family whose son's name is pronounce Shi-thade. It is not spelled that way! Sh*thead is the spelling!!!!!!!!!

    A very popular male name Tyler is of Old English origin and its meaning is "a worker in roof tiles." It is an occupational name. Tyler is pronounced TY-ler.

    English revolutionary Tyler Wat; 10th President of the US Tyler John; American jurist and writer Tyler Royall are three of the personalities with this name.

    ok I got one for you. When I was a Police Officer a woman had a baby in the elevator. This was not my call thank god b/c I would not be able to contain myself. Baby gets delivered & they ask what is the childs name & she says "I did not have one picked out but since I had her in the elevator I am going to name her ELEVATICIOS.(no joke I swear)"

    Funny this thread popped up ... On DS#2's valentine list there were four Kaitlyns. Kaitlyn, Caitlyn, Kaitlynn and Kaitlin. ...somebody shoot me...

    I wanted to name ds2 Grayson and DH talked me out of it. Maybe that's what's wrong with moms?! They listen to their husbands.
