My friend gave birth to a daughter like a few days ago. Her first child. Guess what she named her kid? She named her daughter Tinkerbell or well she named her Tinkerbella cause she added the "a" on the end. She was going to give her a normal name like Lisa or Sarah, but just out of nowhere she named her kid Tinkerbella. Its on the birth certificate. Then she said "When I have a son I will name is Peter Pan" God I hope she is joking. I mean I would never name my kids like that, but I still think its odd. Even considering I have a tinkerbell tattoo on my back lol. What do you guys think?

My sister named her son Boaz, as in from the Bible. It's grown on us, but if her second child was a boy (it turned out to be a girl) then she was going to name him Ezra. Also, from the Bible. As it is, she's named her daugher Evelyn, so that's much better. I can understand her religious views being very important to her, but as I mentioned when she was pregnant, David and Joshua are also Bible names, and they won't get her kid beat up on the playground.

I'm a payroll administrator. You cannot beleive some of the names that come across my desk.
I've had Veverly, Krackhor, Karidah, Miracle, Precious, Sincere, Nekema, ShaVaughn, Keyosea, Liberty, some that I swear people made up by randomly picking letters from the alphabet. In fact one of the girls in my office made up her daughter's name using the letters from her name. I don't even remember her name.

I'm a huge fan of 'unique' names but even I would have to draw the line somewhere!
'Apple' and 'Coco' were bad enough, but OMG puhleez - Tinkerbella ???
When I chose dd's unique name, I made sure it would suit her if she became a lawyer, just as a test of the name's ability of grow with her.
Would anyone trust a lawyer named 'Felony'?
Would anyone respect a teacher named 'Tinkerbella'?
I wouldn't choose most of these names even for a nickname, or a pet's name, but definitely not something I'd ever put on a birth certificate.
I wonder how many of these children will change their name legally upon reaching adulthood? Or is there any chance they could do so sooner? (Maybe not, if they must plead their case before the judge named Fifi-Trixibelle)
