Originally posted by kirksey957No, I haven't, because I don't know where to find it. Anyway, I thought it would be obvious that I don't really expect Phlabibit to give the child a Norwegian, German, Finnish or Italian name. I just found it interesting to come up with names which are used both for girls and boys ("Gerd" is used for boys in Germany and for girls in Norway).
OK, obviously many have not read my Ivory Tower thread on naming a child, ...
OK, listen up all you wacked out teenagas that think you know all about parentin by givin yo kid some crazy ass name. As I mentioned earlier if ya want to waste a lot of money on tha psychiatrist , this is where to begin. Let's talk names, foolz.
First up, all you environmentally conscious parents livin out of wedlock wantin to name ya kid after a damn tree. Get a damn life. I heard about this kid named Willow Siqouia (or whatever that big-ass tree is out in California). If that's such a good idea how about "Bayberry Sagebrush"? See what I'm gettin at. Name a kid after a tree and they gonna end up wearing burlap and a damn grass skirt when they get older.
Don't name ya kid after a damn bird either. Raven? Raven is probably the name most often given to strippers and pornstars. Keep that kid off the pole.
Don't get the name of yo kid from the movies. Sigourney or Aragon? Get yo tail out of the movie theatre and go buy some pampers, fool.
Patina? What tha hell is that? Just a damn color from a Martha Stewart paint store. Puleeez.
Summer? It's a damn season of the year.
Bree? It's a damn cheese.
Orion? It's a damn constellation. You want people axin ya kid what planet they come from?
Laurie? Yes, for a girl. Name a boy that and don't be suprized to find him looking at the Bird Cage the way some of the foolz on this site look at Lord of the Rings.
Some otha rules of namin a kid. Keep it simple. They gonna have to learn how to spell it. Don't change the spellin of something basic. Fo example Mary. Don't spell it like Maree. I find odd spellin makes your basic minimum wage earner go crazy when they fill out applications ova the phone and can neva get the spellin right.
As I mentioned in my Ivory Tower post about names, they have incredible power and influence. Take fo example "Oprah." You wonder why that poor woman is all the time havin weight issues? Rhymes with "okra" that's why.
So don't go plantin the seeds of a bad life with a bad name.
Originally posted by eagles54No, not at all, but I'll tell ya something funny. There's someone on this site that is namin their dawg after me. What am I to make of this? I'm flattered. Name yo dawg after me, but not yo kid.
You're just frosted because Phlab didn't say he's going with 'Kirksey' or 'Kirksie.'
