These are just too good (awful-good)
What is with celebrities? I think when some of them name their babies they just stand in a room and look at whatever is around them for name ideas. Like when I was a kid, my mom asked me what my stuffed rabbit's name was, and I looked around the room and said, "Radio-basket" (they never let me live it down). I just had to share some oddball examples of names that these poor children are going to have to live with.

Who is Paula Yates? Funny, I was reading those the other day on that same site! My favorite is definitely Fifi-Trixibelle! Sounds like a pomeranian or a poodle! ha ha ha ! Crazy insane ppl! Calico Cooper.. that's kinda cool. Pilot Inspektor?? OMG! Did you know that Jason Lee is a scientologist??
And by the way, I love Radio-Basket! I think that should be the name of our band, should we ever have one LOL! It's awesome! (not to be confused with Radiohead, of course!) And isn't it funny how Geldof looks an awful like Geldorf? LOL!
:( No I didn't know he was a Scientologist! That makes me sad.
:(
And yes, I pronounced that name Geldorf earlier when I was reading the names off to Laura. LOL
I don't know who Paula Yates is? but you're right, sounds like she'd be better at naming puppies than kids.
Those names are horrific. Just because they're famous doesn't mean they should name their kids ridiculous names!
Life is hard enough without a ridiculous name! Stupid people! Aunt Daphne
It sounds like they were looking at comic strips or pet name books. How ridiculous!!
Mom
Those names are ridiculous! Poor kids!
I guess agrees that they are "ridiculous!" lol
I meant to put "Everyone agrees". Now I'm being ridiculous! haha
what do you mean "live with" - I don't think there's any evidence whatsoever that a name has any predictive factor of quality of life. The old wives tale of being teased on the playground is just ridiculous. There are plenty of kids name "Ted" and "Sally" who get teased. It has everything to do with the person and nothing to do with them name.
Don't get sucked into anecdotal crap.
I wonder who left that comment??
Well, "Anonymous", you may be right, sorry if I offended you or used your name. But I don't think giving the kid a name like Fifi-Trixibelle is going to improve their quality of life much.
Just my opinion!
I think kids get teased for lots of reasons. Sometimes it is because they act weird or haven't developed the right social skills. Other times I think it CAN be because of a name. In Junior High, there was a girl named Charmin Brand. (first and last name) Everyone used to call her Charmin Brand Toilet Paper! Was it right? No, it was rude and mean. But it happened. I don't know if that kid would have been teased had they been named something else...?? Who knows? I just wouldn't want to name my kid something that *I* would think might make them be teased. Kids have it hard enough.
Hey Andrea, remember Dicky?? ha ha ha!
LOL yes...I can't believe you thought of him! A good example!
Dickeeeeeeeeee! lol
