Baby Names???

Check this story out...

Gandalf, Superman and Madonna

I remember one time I had a young couple come into my office. They brought their newborn baby boy. His name was Anakin.

I kid you not.

OK, I'd name my son Anakin... maybe for a middle name. But Gandalf? Screw that, name the kid Legolas (he was the hotter one, anyway!)

Is it true that in Germany, certain names are considered child abuse?

yeah...if you name your child anything that ends in a -stein or -feld in germany, they take you to a "camp"...it's what i hear anyway.

I worked with a man who named all his daughters after alcohols, Tia, Maria, Bailey, and Sheridan. I pity them. Ive also come across kids named Rooney, Aston Martin, Margharita and Celine. Theres also a worrying mount of Paris' about.

Oh honey... I had a co-worker once who regaled me with the tale of the client who had named her little girl Pleasure Du Jure W******. He looked at her and asked her "Do you know what "du jure" means? You named your daughter the pleasure of the day." He was thinking about 'Soup Du Jure.' She looked surprised and told him she just thought it sounded pretty! Can you imagine when that child grows up? She's gonna end up a prostitute or a lounge singer in a burlesque show!

If I bungled the whole French thing, don't hold it against me.

Although it doesn't matter du jure is really 'du jour', but I loved the story.

Penn Jillette and his wife named their baby boy Zolten Penn Jillette, saying in a statement: "Zolten is a common Hungarian name, it's my wife's maiden name and most importantly, it's the name of Dracula's dog." His daughter's name is Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. Seriously.

Ack! I just knew I was going to botch the French somehow. Anyhow, thanks for the reminder.

Didn't Kevin Smith name his girl Harley Quinn? After the Joker's mad assistant?

You're right GL247. He did name his daughter after the comic book character.
