crazy baby names.

Brilliant Shan sent me this article via e-mail. 

o.O

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?
