What is wrong with these Alaskans?

[doriswe]

Bristol Palin named her kid Tripp, Sarah Palin has sons named Track and Trig and now Levi Johnston named his kid Breeze Beretta. WTH???

:-| that's bad... 8-D

[bullygirl979]

Shut up, Doris!!! They make me feel normal!

*writing this as my foster dogs lets out the BIGGEST audible fart ever*

Sigh.

[doriswe]

I'm giving myself a huge pat on the back for giving my kids normal names!!

For real. I grew up with a kid named John Outhouse.

[mclovin]

Worse is that Levi has another kid...

There is someone at my job whose first name is Thankgod. I'm not kidding.

[starburst604]

I went on a date with a guy whose name was Liberty, but he went by Bert. Not sure which is worse....

[roselis]

Yikes! Beretta as a middle name? really?

If we had 2 girls, XH wanted to name her Samantha Nicole, so her initals would be SNM. I put that down real quick. It started as a joke, which I was fine with, but he actually wanted to.... I'm glad we had only 1 boy together

[doriswe]

I feel like I need to admit I gave DD an "interesting" middle name....but no one uses it (well me, when I'm yelling at her).

*hangs head in shame*

Also, speaking of DD, when she was probably 7 or so she scolded me about giving her the first name I did. She was allllll sorts of pissy and said she wanted to change it....to Angel Love. Pretty sure that name would guarantee her a job on a pole!

It's like the Mormons who name their kids things like McKinli and Laikynn and Maddison :/ How they don't drink yet still come up with these terrible names is beyond me!

My XH's friend was named Midori. Guess what she was named after

Spill it!!!!

At least you gave her a middle name. My parents didn't. My initials are "EW". Do you know how traumatizing it is to go to camp and have your skivvies labelled EW?!

Sigh...don't judge....fuck, you should judge! Her middle name is Impala....after the car....wasn't my choice, but she's the only kid named *firstname Impala*.

I'm going back to my backwoods trailer now!

::giggle snort:: It's a totally youneek name! Pray tell, was she conceived in an Impala?

lol...I know, right?? No....not conceived in one....although that would be a much better story!!

I swear my other kid has two real names!

Um...I actually like the name Madison.

I actually like the name Tripp. And Trig isn't awful either.

Sorry, I misspelled it. The name I'm thinking of is Mattison. Madison is acceptable, for sure.

Madison, while it's really popular, doesn't make me stabby....Maddisyn, Madysyn, Madisin, etc. does!

[bullygirl979]

I used to work with a woman who was having a baby. I asked her what the name was and she said "Madeline K". And I said "Oh, K-A-Y?" and she said no. So I say "K-A-Y-E?" and she says "No. K. Like the symbol for Potassium."

Yeah.....

Weird. I love the name Kay though. Don't even tell me that "Every kiss begins with Kay" because I might have to kill you

Kay is a fine name.

K aka Potassium is weird though. And she was doing it for the Potassium factor. It was her little inside joke.

ETA: and you will never hear me say that damn quote because those chessy ass awful commercials make me want to beat baby kittens.

[dakotadangerdog]

Ugh I hate all of these fake made up names, and the totally misspelled names. Adding 8000 Y's to a name doesn't make it cool, it just makes you look like a giant idiot.


(says the girl with two Y's in her name, but hey, MY NAME IS LEGIT)

[blackkitty]

My son's name is Cool Breeze

Doris - how on earth did you ever agree to this?! Thank god it's a middle name! I'm assuming it was your DD's dad's choice - what the hell was the reasoning behind it?

Is that where she was conceived?

[BookLover]

My ex wanted Bruno for a boys name. I told him I was having a baby and not a puppy. Even then, the that name would be nixed. We were in Alaska at the time.... I'm so happy I had a girl. However Tripp and Trig aren't bad. I think the fact that Levi had another baby on the other had is. I've known a couple of Tripp's and a Trig.

Nope, never had sex in the car....that would have made a mess and he was all about keeping it clean!

[letyourselfgo]

People love to make fun of me because of what I named my daughter:

Her name is Vivienne. I named her for her Great-Grandmother (ExH's Grandma) who was named Viola. Granny did not want our child to be named Viola, saying that she hated her name. So, I found it to be a subtle tribute.

How was I to know that Angelina Jolie would name her daughter the same the following year when NO ONE was using it, and now that name is shooting up the popular ranks with the quickness?

Now it's ranked #200 something among girls in the US this year, and I'm not very happy about the popularity, although I don't regret for a second naming her that. It suits her so well.

I've got an extremely uncommon name. People fuck it up all the time. It's kinda nice to have something different, but at other times, I wish I would've gotten something easily understandable.

With that, I can't believe some of the shit that I see people naming their kids nowadays. Unique is one thing, youneek or just flat out dumb is another.

Mine's hard to spell, but at least it's easily pronounced. My sister has an uncommon name that a lot of people pronounce AND spell wrong, I'd get so sick of that!!

I'm in your sister's camp.

It really isn't a tough name, especially when people see it. But since it's so uncommon, people often think that even though it's spelled exactly how it sounds, it must be pronounced like a similar, more common name and I just have it spelled funny.

And if they know how to pronounce it correctly, they think that since it's different, it must have a thuper duper youneek spelling. Either that, or basic phonics knowledge has gone the way of the dinosaurs.

I've actually had multiple doctors' offices think I screwed up on my forms and try to call me by my last name as my first name. And my last name's pretty stinking difficult, too.
