Kids names

[smithy87]

Why is it (especially in Celeb Land) people think its great to name your kid something horrendous, like Ferrari?

I mean take David and Victoria Beckham. Now Brooklyn I can cope with, but Romeo? Please Victoria, why are you that desperate to have your name in the press? How is the poor child going to go on at school with the ribbing his mates will give him. I know he'll be at a posh school, but kids are kids and they tell it like it is. What about when he's at home in his mansion and Victoria can't find him? How is she gonna stop herself from shouting over the intercom "Romeo? Romeo? Where for art though Romeo?" And her latest bundle of joy - Cruz (which allegedly is a traditional Spanish girls name).


Whilst out shopping recently, some mother shouted to her child "Speed get over 'ere and get in ya trolley" Speed? Is that what she was one when she conceived her?

I wish some people would just take the time to think about the implications calling your child a silly name will have. Do you think they'll be thanked later on in life when the doctor's receptionist shouts "Casanova Jones, room one please"

It was Gywneth Paltrow. Lets hope the child doesn't become overweight and known as Big Apple

I agree! How about some of the celeb baby names here recently.....Courtney Cox named her girl Coco....Gweneth Paltrow named hers Apple. My oh my! Those are just a few that come to mind now. Seems like they are competing for the most weirdest names.

i thought it was gwynnie, i think thats one of the strangest yet

coco doesnt seem quite so bad but still not 'normal' but then i think im slightly biased coz i like courtney and she struggled to have a baby, she could have called it frog and id have liked it!!

why cant they just name their kids, sarah or amy or claire?!

[hotsauce]

coco is odd!

If my niece had been a boy, they were going to name her Kentucky Rod. I was so grateful she's a girl!

Having grown up and been the only one of my kind for 14 years I think giving a kid an unusual name is comparable to... child abuse. Not only would people screw up the pronunciation and spelling of my first, they could NEVER get my last name correct. For years I hated my parents' choice of name for me. today, my name is common enough that there is no mistakes so now I have forgiven them ahahahaha.
Kids deserve a fair chance right off the bat in life so DO NOT ruin it by giving them an idiotic name.

It may not be an unusual name that is cruel...may just be the wrong name. There is a parent at my school who named both of her sons Tim. I like the name Tim and all...but good grief! That would be confusing!
