Seems to be a Hollywood thing over the years..see who can come up with the most unique name... " Unique ", of course = stupid Not all names are stupid, my daughters both have very unique names they are nothing like this one. I think some people are so desperate to name their child something different that they don't think about the child growing up. |

As someone who was BORN with a very unusual and unique name, I can relate to poor Tabooger and Blanket and people like them. My birth name is Väinämöinen. The thing doesn't even fit on my darn ID. While I can appreciate the meaning and what it represents now, while I was a kid it was cruel and unusual punishment to give me a name like that. I was already a shy outcast, the weird name turned me into a pariah.

I wanted to name one of my children with a dance step. Just to see teachers call the role.
My (now ex) wife stopped me. [sigh.] |

There are so many celebrities who choose unusual names for their kids… James Brown - Yamma David Bowie’s - Zowie Rachel Griffith – Banjo Don Cortese – Tabooger Simon LaBron – Pine Tommy Lee Jones – Kafka Richard Gere - Jigme Bob Geldolf – Fifi Trixibelle At the same time they want them left out of the limelight...right? I've always found it strange that they give their kids names that make people talk, but then get upset when people talk about their kids. The only explanation I could guess at would be that these are people who are used to having their cake and eating it to0. True. Some International names: Karl Marx: Jinlgehuedelszweigeringenhoestetterknabe; Ghandi: Ramahajarnagarandajabwazaneer Huganda Henrik Ibsen: Nothingness Buddha: Buddha Tibor Szemeredy: Andras Genghis Kahn: Batu (Batu actually means "guy who slips on his own snot outside the tent every morning when he wakes up and goes out to tend to the chicken and the horses".) Gigi: Mon Petite cus-cus Rasputin: (died childless) Idi Amin: Vladimir Vissarianovitch Dzhugashvili |
