Toni Braxton: children called Diezel and Denim. (Perhaps future sprogs will be called Gap and Doctor Marten’s Industrial Workwear)

Elle Macpherson: son called Aurelius. (Why not go the whole hog and call him Caligula?)

Christie Brinkley: daughter called Sailor (can you imagine people saying "Hello Sailor" to you EVERY SINGLE DAY for the REST OF YOUR LIFE?)

Alex Kingston: daughter called Salome. (Quite a lot to live up to, there).

Sean Penn: son called Hopper. (If nominative determinism is true, Sean should be booking Hopper a place at the Betty Ford clinic right now).

That's not a fact, just a theory (it may also come from an ancient Semitic name meaning 'daughter of Baal'), but even if... When you meet someone named Elizabeth or Isabella, how many people are like: "Ah yes, from Elisabet, the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheba meaning 'God is my oath'. In the New Testament this is the name of the mother of John the Baptist."

If I meet someone named Elizabeth, I might get brief mental images of Elizabeth I and II and Elizabeth Taylor, maybe even of the ship HMS Queen Elizabeth II. When I meet someone named Isabella, I think of Isabella I of Spain, Isabella of France and Isabella Rossellini. How many people are even aware of the ethymology of either name, or any other name for that matter? Ethymology is the very last thing I'd consider when naming my children...

Markus is Finnish name.. I mean there are people claiming it.. Germans, and many others, but we all know it's our name and that's it. Others think they're special like that but they aren't.

I'd like to name a girl Aava, but I think she'd get teased in school for having such a rare name.

That's a real posh english name. I'm sure there's alot of old rich white lords that you share your name with.

Me have kids?

I have no idea what names I could ever imagine giving my kids, but it would defently be seldom names... I have only met one IRL who shares my name, and heard of a few... I've never actually met anybody who has my oldest brothers name, but heard of a few, and my second oldest brother has a name I've never seen anybody else have...
While most people I know has standard names... In 9th grade there was a class where 3 of the ~20 students had the same name...

Dumbest names i have heard given by stupid parents:

Crystal Bell
Richard Root
Richard Pullar
Richard Horn
Ida Lichter
Wayne Carr
Wayne Kerr
Joe King (famous swimming coach)
Cardinal Sin (famous Phillipines cardinal)
Ophelia Dickie

They are just absurd. FYI, root is intercourse and horn is an erection

I think from memory Frank Zappa's daughter is named "Moon unit". What drugs was he on? Movie stars' children's names just proves they don't live in the real world.

For the record, my baby daughter's name is Anastasia

also at least one of the 9/11 terrorists had the name Ramsey. Ramsey Ahmed if I remember correctly.

my name is strange cause it's both English and Arabic. just a coincidence that two so seperate languages share a name in common.
