That's pretty common (or was) in italy. It was common in ancient Rome as well (Septimus, Octavian).

Numbers as names were totally normal if you were in ancient Rome. Meanwhile those Roman names found continued use in English and American families, though of course much more seldomly.

According to Lynn, names are coupled with identity so it is an important choice and very personal to individuals. “I remember being worried about people liking our chosen names for our children and not revealing them in case others we knew used them first! As a teacher, naming children is harder as there are so many students that you associate with certain names.”

30 Hilariously Unfortunate Names Parents Actually Gave Their Children, As Shared In This Thread Well... let's just say that the state I live in doesn't have a significant english-speaking population, especially in the rural regions, despite the official language of the country ( India) being English and most of the urban population being educated. However; I have friends whose parents gave them names like "Benadryl", "Goodbye", "Very helpful" and the absolute worst "Dishwasher". This, however is because people from the rural regions ( especially in the North-East) come to the cities, and see words in ads and billboards that they find pretty and innocently name their children after a variety of brands. I don't always blame them, I had a family friend who came off as very posh and educated, spoke perfect English... but named his daughter Darth Vader. Some of them are just trolling. Do not underestimate people of the hills; they don't take your bullshit, educated or otherwise.

Lynn also said that it's lovely for children to have interesting names but added that “sometimes calling them names that are associated with other things can be problematic.” She recounted: “I knew a Gabriel who was far from an angel, for example. I also knew a very unoriginal William Williams. Just consider whether your child will be happy with their name at 25.”

Having said that, the educator concluded that “nothing is set in stone and if children wish to legally change their names, then they can.”

My mother is Icelandic so she and my grandparents all had to have their first names selected from a list approved by the country's naming commitee. It's to preserve the language and also to prevent a child from being named something ridiculous or embarrassing. And the naming system is patronymic, so the father's first name becomes the last name of the child plus "son" for a boy or "dóttir" for a girl. For example, if a guy named Jón had a daughter named Bryndís, her name would be Bryndís Jónsdóttir. My dad is American though, so I have the same last name as him.

So the reason we think names like "michael" and "nathaniel" and so on are normal is that they are in another language, namely Hebrew. If they were translated, they'd not be names, and they'd be on this list of stuff we'd be making fun of. So for example, "John" from Hebrew Yohanan means "gift of god" - I bet if one of the parents on this list went and called their kid "Giftofgod", we'd be mocking it. But because we're used to "John", it doesn't bother us. So my suggestion would be come up with actual english names that aren't fun to mock. So I've seen "Storm"; to me that is ok. One of the examples above mocks someone called 12th or twelfth or something like that. Well, the latin names Tertius and Sextus and Octavian and so on, literally just mean 3rd, 6th and 8th. So.... I think we're laughing at SOME of these because they're not disguised by another language. Take the name "Chair". We'd laugh like crazy at that. But the name "Sihle" is very common amongst the Zulu. It's "chair."

The military at that time wasn't prepared for someone with just initials and sent back his paperwork for him to correct. Considering he only had initials he carefully wrote L (only) M (only) and sent it back. When they handed him his dog tags, you guessed it, he was Lonly Monly and his last name.

Some parents have no care for the future of their own kids. How will they get through school, how will the name be received at a place of work and how will their overall dignity be affected? You can ruin a life with a funny name. I named my daughter an unusual but not unheard of traditional name. A couple of women who were well known had the name and I couldn't think of a way to make fun of the name either. I thought how she'd feel about it as an adult. The only problem she EVER had was that if she wanted something with her name on it then there was very little to buy (easier now with the internet of course) Seems some parents just want to pick the worst name possible..

How about a) we let people call their own children whatever they want and teach our own children not to be bullies and b) people educate themselves about other cultures and other times in history before they slag off what to others is a perfectly normal name with a long history. I got bored of commenting, tbh, on so many names that have existed for quite a while. And if you think this is a modern phenomenon, find the Horrible Histories episode on youtube about Victorian names. You'll be ready to let all of these go, after that.

I've also met two people legally named Spike, and a former teacher of mine had taught someone named Female. That one was a sad story.

I heard of a couple who wanted to call their daughter Clamydia, not realizing that it's the name of an STD.

I am glad that in my country, parents are not allowed to put random/stupid name to the newborns. After reading all the stupid names, I understood better the law. Go Europe!

Seven wasn't in the list, but I taught a kid with that name. I always wondered why his parents named him that. I met a guy once whose name was Joe Josephson Jr.

One of my dads cousins had a kid and named her "Fields". Apparently they said it's from the Bible? I've never read the Bible so idk but even then, why Fields???

Abcde. This was the name of a girl that Southwest Airlines gate crew were laughing at. It's pronounced ab-si-dee. Her mother set her up to be made fun of.

Fair point, but I think the complaint is about unreasonable names like the ones given here. To me, using normal english words is fine.
