Let us review the names, shall we?
If I was one of these children, I would hope to have one of the following names: Patrick or Stephen – - at least they’re normal. Malachai and Eli aren’t so bad…if it weren’t for the fact they were named after Children of the Corn. Really? REALLY?
There is Peppermint, poor child. But I would rather be a piece of candy than Blackbird, (named after a swarm of birds in the yard).
Let’s see…other names from various fictional people this lady bestowed upon her children? Rogue, Frodo, Morpheus, Artemis, and Baudelaire.
There is a child named Echo, after eco-campaigners.
Hands down, though, the worst name (and most disturbing) out of this group is Voorhees – - named after Jason Voorhees, as in Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th. You know…the serial killer…
I used to hate my name as a kid. Now I am grateful to be named Mckenzie, with a little k. I don’t get the fad or desire for parents to go out of their way to name their child something off-the-wall. My friend is a teacher and two names off her roster this year? Abcde (ABB-CA-DUH) and Pajama (PAY-SHA-MAY).
What are crazy names you’ve heard?
