My mother was one of 16 children born to my very German grandparents.

Names included:

Celestine
Constatine
Cyrilla
Beatrice
Velma

I had a great uncle name Fidelis.

These were names from early in the 20th century.  These people were all born in Kansas.

Other family names were Sophia, Solomon, and Marion.

Knew a kid named Brick Wall.  Knew of a guy named Fairfax Ferguson Arnold IV.

Who gives a shit what other people name their kids?

Its such a travesty that language evolves over time and people are scared and angry because they aren't used to the 20 names they associate with their generation.

Have you heard some grandparents and great grandparents names? Cleatus, Edna, Opha, Albert, Barney, Gus, Gertrude, Mildred.

You walk up to the hottest girl in the bar, make playful banter, you are unable to hear her name so you get her name and number on a napkin or she sends it to your phone. It says "Winifred 555-555-5555". I guarantee for a moment your going to second guess yourself whether or not should smash or not.

So its stupid because they didn't name their kids up to your standard of the usual names of your generation? Oh god, what people name their kids will be the downfall of society.

Edna-"Lets name our son Josh."
Harvey-"No one uses that name, that sounds great. It is short for Joshua."
1920 primuspilum-"That is such a stupid name. You should name him Elmer."

Yep, nothing too terrible so far.




The closest I have is when a friend of the wife's wanted to name their daughter Cheyenne or Montana. I broke out laughing and said, "Wow, guaranteeing she's going to be a stripper, huh?"




Wife was not amused.

I issued all my children names that utilize a series of tactical, modular, and adaptive name components that can be cross matched and user indexed to suit a variety of mission requirements in both permissive and non-permissive childhood functional environments as part of a family operational team in the full spectrum of white middle-class activity.

Modular, tactical and mission-specific adaptivity are the future of naming.

Every time I hear those two names I picture two blond kids with bowl cuts in their soccer uniforms even through it's not game day.  Their mother is the type that has those little family stickers on the back of the mini van, the hover-mom that will make sure see two bowl-cut she-boys will grow up emasculated, shells of men but with really good grade point averages,  she's the type that makes the family take beach photos wearing all white.  Dad should have known what he was marrying but alas, he overlooked her "quirks" because, well, guys are stupid when it comes to the vajajay.  He stays at work at least two hours late and goes in at least an hour early so he can drink from the bottle in the bottom desk drawer.  Yes this extra time at work allowed him to become partner but that just raises the work expectations laid upon this sad, functioning alcoholic.

The last name as first name thing is also a longstanding blue blood tradition.  The child's middle name is the last name of the mother, and the first name is typically written as an initial only, such as R. Drew Wentworth.  The practice predates hyphenation.

Jackson, Madison, Taylor, etc.

If you give your kid a last name that connects to nothing in your family history, it makes no sense.  You're not naming a dog.



Name the CEO, not the toddler:  George, James, Thomas, Charles, Edward, William, etc.

Was helping with children's ministry at church. Parents dropped off their 2yo boy. Name tag said "Declen." I said "hey Declen!", like you would assume it's pronounced. Mom looks at me and said, "it's actually Deeclen." I think I actually physically shook my head.



In the group of 7 2-3yo kids I was helping with in class, we had Cyrus, Declen, Ayashyla and Abigayl (twins), Ross, Wexton, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand..........
Sam. That kid became my buddy.





The amount of Aidens, Jacksons, Coltons, Noahs, Kaidens is staggering.

As for the last name thing, Madison is popular around here because of James Madison and the county of Madison. Many Girls named Maddie or Maddy. Also Schuyler, named after the town where "The Waltons" tv show takes place, although some will spell it Skylar. Sissy Spacek, who has lived here for many years, named her daughter Schuyler. She was in the movie Orange County, with Jack Black.

My kids names are Brendan and Trinity.
Easy to establish gender by name only. Sons name has his ancestral heritage invoked. Daughters name also has religious significance. Also unique in that they are the only ones in their school with those names. Lots of Brandons, not many Brendans. Almost no other Trinitys.

I dislike the trend of using last names as first names: Madison, for example.
