OMG Baby Name

[CheshireGrin]

Dreesen.

That is the baby's name. Dreesen.

I figured out that it's a boy based on the middle name. But seriously: this is made up, right?

[nadasteph]

reminds me of nasal spray.

I just Googled it, and apparently it's a donut shop and a semi-common surname. I haven't found any other instances of it as a first name. So I guess it's youneek.

This reminds me of names my stbx made up when trying to name son#2. He's into Irish sounding names, but not REAL Irish names. He really wanted Doogan. Or Deegan. No joke. (Thank God any future babies will be with SOMEONE ELSE! lol)

[Jalapeñomel]

Sounds like "dressing" to me.

[dizzydee]

I dated a Doogan and he had a huge penis.
Names are hard. I think my kid will be Noname.

[snickers]

That poor little boy.

Oh, for pete's sake!  That is ridiculous. I was at the park the other day and there was a toddler named Bruin. 

[iamgrace]

And Bruin! omg.

You have met my husband, right?  Because he would love the shit out of that name, I'm positive. 

Don't give him any ideas!

If it is a semi-common surname I wonder if it was the mom's maiden name. I know some people do that, though I would be more apt to use it as a middle name if that were the case.

Makes me think of the Dresden Dolls... Coin Operated Boy.... Poor kid

It made me think of Dresden, too. But, Dresden Codak and The Dresden Files.

Beautiful, rolls right off the tongue.

Yep. The same way vomit does.

My god people. What are you thinking? I'm gonna be mighty pissed if one of my daughters brings home a Dreesen or some shit in 18 years.

I know several guys who have their mother's maiden names as their first names and they are all in their late 30s and early 40s so definitely not part of the youneek names movement we see going on now.

I hate to say, I thought the same as JJWriter. My head went straight to Dresden.

At the zoo this week, this adorable little blond kiddo was toddling around and his name was Crash. "Don't crash, Crash!" His adults thought they were being hilarious. I bet he'll be sick of that one before he hits school-age.

Apparently it was so bad that it had to be posted three times.

I know someone (ok, I just read her blog) who named her daughter Laughter. She said she wanted to name her baby a word and laughter is what came to her one day.

It sounds like it would taste like lemon, grass, and look like a fjord.

Looks like you've got a case of synesthesia!
