It's all a question of being used to a name.
In Turkey, Nilüfer is a common first name for a girl, although it's known there to be a take-off on the German word Nilufer which means "Banks if the Nile (River)."
The beautiful Arabic name Laila means "night."
It would sound silly to name somebody "Heart of a Bear," but Bernard sounds ok, although it means "Heart of a Bear."
How about "little angel" (Angelina), etc., etc.
Interestingly enough, one of the most common English names also means "toilet": John. |

I plan on naming at least one of my kids after a character/actor on LOST. Yea, I know I am pathetic. *shrugs*
I found this on a website though:
Quote: |
Weird names for Boys:
Abba
Abyss
Amen
Andrew's (note the apostrophe, as if the mother were reminding herself of who
the father was!)
Apple
As-Matik (say it fast, you'll see what I mean)
Bear
Blade
Brando (8 different ones!)
Charm
Confession
Dwarf (I don't even want to think about that kid's childhood)
GQ (must have been a handsome lad)
Gal
Go
Godly
Gospel
Hey (makes it easy to call him in for dinner, Hey! Hey! HEY!)
Holy
Infinite (3 different Infinites, you do the math!)
Knight Sir Lancelot (I'm not kidding)
Lisa (A boy named Lisa?)
Nadir (which means "absolute lowest point", thanks Mom.)
Stalin
Stallone
Truth ($100 bucks the kid becomes pathological liar)
Unique (15 different Uniques, and one Uneek, which when you think about it,
makes him unique)
Weird Names for Girls
Alaska
Albert
Beautiful
Beautiphul (beautiful, but in a strange way)
Boat
Chaos (what were they thinking?)
Chevy (I mean, why not Saab?)
Chevette
Choice (as in, "If I had one, I'd have chosen another name!)
Cuba
Dynasty
Final (does this mean her younger sister is a mistake?)
Galaxy (hope she ain't shy)
He (a she named He?)
Infinity (I guess infinity is any gender)
N/A (as in, not applicable?)
Nada
Precious Angel
Prince
Promise
Providence
Sin
Sparkle
Story
Symphony
Tall (you better hope she is, that's all I have to say)
Tangerine
Tequilla (this means Mom won't get upset the first time you come home wasted)
Treasure
Unique (15 of these as well!)
Virgin (ok, so her name will be obsolete around her 16th birthday?)
Wednesday
ZC (I can't even begin to speculate on that one) |
All of those are names of actual people. Some kids have seriously frakked up parents. What the hell were they thinking?
The least weird one on that list, I think, is Bear. Because Bear Grylls is @#$%ing amazing! |

I used to work in the subscription department of a publication with world-wide distribution. So some of the names were strange to American ears and eyes. Three of them still stick in my mind, after over 30 years.
Miss Nine Six - no doubt pronounced differently from what we thought.
And two ladies who lived very near one another:
Minnie Frostie and Millie Freezee |

I had an elderly male friend who was named Beverly. I also have an aunt by that name.
We named our youngest son after the man...
... we used his middle name though.

^^^ Might want to edit for a 3rd. Our, not out.
There were a couple people in my film class who had bizarre names. One was Yucenia. Seriously, who names their kids such whacked out names? It might sound pretty to you, but the kid won't appreciate it in high school. |

Even more annoying are people with "normal" names with weird spellings. You have to wonder how many years of their lives they will waste patiently spelling out "M Y K A A Y L A H" or "N A Y T H U R N". Then there's the gimmicks like "Neveah" (Heaven backwards). |

I've been working on a genealogy and I discovered that I have a great-great-grandmother named "America". My Grandmother was named Zola, she named her daughter Zita and my father Clyde.
But the worst name I've run across belonged a kid I hung out with when I was in Boy Scouts. His surname was "Suchsdorf", pronounced sucks-dorf. This guy had the thickest skin of any individual I've known.

My son has 3 sisters
Jade, Cherry - apparently looked like one. and Teddy - something about being like a teddy bear He was lucky and got Nathan but his mother called him Diddles.
Luckily for all four children she no longer has any direct input in their lives. |

I groan when I see a kid being given a name which means they will need psychological counselling for the rest of their lives simply because of their parents' idiotic narcissism. |

I'd always beware of trends, what sounds cool now will be terrribly dated in 50 years time
Naming kids after where they were conceived??? Suppose thats why that NZ kid is Bus Shelter.
Or using place names? Works for Skye and Dakota but pity poor old Bognor.
I do feel for children that are named as an extension of the parent, a relative named his child after himself and he was named after his father, it just seems unfair not to treat each as an individual.
I dont view my kids as extensions of myself and I'm sure my eldest, Porch and Conservatory would agree |
