30 People Share What Baby Name Immediately Makes Them Think The Parents Are Stupid Before my nephew was born, my sister sent me a text asking if I liked the name "Rylar". I sent her a list of questions to ask herself, and if she answered yes to any of them then Rylar would be a fantastic name for her child. The questions were:

1) Is he destined to be a lion tamer and/or magician?
2) Will he not have a last name, like Seal or Prince?
3) Is he going to have an ominous title like "The Terrible" after his name?
4) Is he a character in an RPG?

She named him Lucas.

30 People Share What Baby Name Immediately Makes Them Think The Parents Are Stupid There is no such thing as a baby name; the name you give your baby is also going to be their adult professional name. Some parents forget to name their child accordingly.

I know people under 13 don't realise this name is a recent invention, but it is. It started the much-hated recent trend of making up a name by rhyming it with the old names Aiden and Hayden. If you love to hate that trend, place the blame where it belongs.

Now the names Aiden and Hayden are sneered at as "made-up trendy names" while "Jayden" has defensive 15-year-olds (named Jayden) arguing that it *is so* a traditional name! Eg. this thread

Anything that's difficult to pronounce and/or difficult to spell. It's just cruel to the kid, not to mention everyone that will interact with them throughout their life. You can choose a unique name that everyone can pronounce and spell.

Think of your kids as people having to live their entire lives with a unique name you choose. Consider the following with honesty when making your short list of names. 1.

Consider how often said child will have their name mispronounced, miss-spelled and ridiculed. Do you want to do that to your child? 3. How much do you want to be the butt of articles such as this and people talking behind your back about how silly your child's name is.

We have fairly strict rules so you can't name your child something like Lucifer for example (but apparently "bumblebee" is fine, lol). That aside, with my first child I picked a pretty common and simple name (Casper). Realized that having short, easy names are better for everything (from a parents/teachers/friends perspective at least) Them learning to say their name, naming their stuff, shouting their name at the playground, when their teachers tell their name etc etc. I went even more simple and short with my second and third. Therefore I just don't get super complicated names - do you really want all that extra work? Imagine them having to stand there for every school project or work interview spelling out their name 5 times?

Ya know this kind of stuff is so trivial and really shows how shallow some folks can be. Much like language and words, names are unique and at times can sound odd or abnormal to us. Instead of being hateful to people and calling them stupid because you don't relate to something. Why not take a step back and realize that everything from language, words, names, accents, speech, and writing is going to be different and there's nothing wrong with that. No matter how strange something might be to you. It's not the names that are the problem, it's people's closed minds and narrow view of all the different ways of so many things we do as humans that is the real issue. But by all means keep thinking it's a word/name that is ignorant when it's really just you looking for a reason to be judgy and crappy towards another human. =(

I remember a story I read years and years ago about a guy who, when he was born, his parents hadn't thought of a name yet, so they let his older sister (who I think was about 4) choose his name. And since their last name was "Claus", she chose the obvious. When he was drafted for, I think, The Korean War, he was at his first day of bootcamp and the drill instructor was reading off the names until he got to the Cs and then went deathly quiet. Looked around and barked "All right! Which one of you jokers signed up as "Santa Claus"?

In the US (southern states especially) these names are sometimes family names on the mother's side. Maternal names are generally lost when the woman takes her husband's last name. It can be a tribute to the past. Or they can just be "cute."

When my Evil Step-Mother was pregnant with my future little sister, she wanted to give her an Arabic name because she is from Morocco and it was fine, but my father was a real French guy with a real French family name. And when my ESM came with the name Bousaima (Bu-sah-ee-mah) we had a little gulp... it's a sweet name (means "kiss to mummy") but I told her it would be impossible for the girl to find a job with it. I asked what my father wanted and he said "I love the name Sarah". Yes, I know, that's *my* name Dad ! Finally they found an old Berber name that was original an simple to pronounce. Fortunately they were smart enough.

I never liked my middle name, and there for a while I was considering changing it to 'F*****g'. Nobody you know in life ever has to know your middle name, but imagine if you became famous, or if someone was talking about you posthumously, and they said your first and last name with F*****g in between them. You'd sound like a rockstar

It’s articles like this that make me appreciate my parents' lack of creativity. Older sister’s names are just our parents' middle names, older brother's names were the two most popular choices for boys the year he was born (and also he shares a first name with our dad), and I’m named after one of my mom’s best friends (except mom used 'z' instead of 's' because, in her words, "z looked cooler").

I once had a student named Toy. Cute little blond boy. He has to be mid 30's now....and I was getting a slew of foreign kids with weird initial names. I got where I would ask them quietly "Is this really how you say your name? How does your mom or dad say it?" Turned out not even close. I would let the class know the real pronunciations. It was the school Secretary when she registered them. Anything she had a hard time with she would give them Initials and tell them "Well here we will call you A.B." That is the actual name she gave Amoglavee. (African) and called a Tongan boy "Tata" (like the slang for boobs) whose real name was pronounced Tafu. And yes I live in Texas....sigh.. Don't even get me started on the Asian kid's names.. some kids had names with 27 letters but were very beautiful when you say them correctly. Or just Long, Dong, or Phat. I know we butchered them.
