I hate when parents give their kids awful names.

Im not saying you have to name your child Mary or John but the whole creative thing is really getting dumb. Every time I hear some parents named their poor kid Physika or Windstorm or Snedley Webbs or something like that I cant help wonder, do these people think at all how they are affecting their kid? I wouldnt name my pet half these awful names. "Yoonique" spellings are just as bad, the parents look ignorant why cant you just spell it right instead or Ashleiggh or Kevyyn? I also hate pretentious surname names everyone is giving their babies like Cooper, Colton, Worthington... Kennadie (spelled wrong!)
Its proven that people tend to judge you by your name and hold dumb names against you, this goes for potential schools, jobs and something as simple as having to say "No... its Emilee with two Es" twice a day for the rest of your life.

    I met a girl named LaQueefa once. Nice girl, but her parents knew damn well that LaQueefa is not a professional sounding name.

    Also, Roach(Row-ack). Cool name if you're in a band. Otherwise, not so cool.

    I don't like it either. I had this one job where I worked around the public, sometimes I'd hear the parents calling their kids and I'd think to myself, you really named your kid that? What the hell? I can't even remember some of the names because they were so weird. I remember this one boys name was a combination of three different names.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! Really, America needs to do an outright ban on some these names.

          Hey, I've been there. Could only find one bar and it was a gay bar. Lucky for me it was a slow night so only people I was with were in there.

    • You know in a lot of European countries there are naming laws. Some even have lists you have to choose from! For example you cant name a pig Napoleon in France... :P

    I think part of it is cultural. Like you're not going to see many black boys named Shane or Spencer, and you're not going to see many white boys named Tyrone or Josiah.

    Yeah, my real name is Ivy. But my middle is Lockett so everyone knows me by that.
    I hate names like "Bonquisha, Tyquan, Zyreck, and Boomquisha." Those are just horrible. I feel sorry for the child..
