ridiculous baby names

Dear friends,

Please, I beg of you:
  • don't torture your future children
  • don't cause our friendship to cease
  • don't give future school bullies any more reasons to tease
  • give your future children a shot at being well-rounded, reasonable, high-functioning members of society
  • stop making me guess the gender of your child
You can be unique and give your child a beautiful name without giving them a reason to hate you.

Lately I've been doing a lot of research and part of my work has been getting names and writing letters. When you write a business letter you want it to be professional and as a result, a salutation is also necessary.

Baby naming sites have become my friend, but in my quest I have come across some RIDICULOUS names:

  • Arlo
  • Baylen
  • Bear
  • Bodhi
  • Bowen
  • Buster
  • Cash
  • Copeland
  • Cosimo
  • Dashel
  • Dreavyn
  • Journey
  • Kaiis
  • Knox
  • Kyd
  • Lailaa Nicole (this is for a boy!!)
  • Laird
  • Leland
  • Maddox
  • Mekhi
  • Moroccan
  • Naviyd
  • Otis
  • Peanut
  • Pilot
  • Ptolemy
  • Racer
  • Rebel
  • River
  • Rocket
  • Rogue
  • Sophocles
  • Sundance (again, a boy!)
  • Tripp
  • Quinlin
This post could go on for quite a while, alas I will end it there. Such.weird.names!
