Absolutely!

I don't think the two poor young men I have met who carry around the name of a group of demons and the guy who lied to the Holy Spirit would consider them wonderful.

My name is Jocelyn, and I absolutely hate being called Josh-E-Lyn. Ugh! There are no "H's" in my name! I don't see where people get it. I also don't answer Josh. Joss, yes, Josh no.

LOL! I am a pill about my name though. I would tell people my name when I was young and then spell it for them! LOL!

X does that, 90% of the time she has to re-spell it afterward.

Here's what bothers me. X is now 12yo. Her grandmother still spells her name wrong. To me that's just pure laziness and lack of respect.

My Mom's Mother spelled my name wrong too. But that is another tread!

I was thinking about this thread today...

The name Joseph is Bible name. If you find that my child's name is Joseph,would you just assume I had used it for that reason? Joseph is a nice solid Bible name so they must be Christians, so I will let my child hang with them... too bad he's named for Joseph Smith, and your decision has just allowed your child time with the nice mormons down the street...

James is a book of the Bible- and Jim Jones' mom liked it too... etc. etc. etc.

I was thinking of this thread during the Sunday evening sermon. It was on Job.

The names of his three daughters (the second set):
"Dove"
"Cinnamon"
"Horn of Antimony" or "Horn of Eyeshadow"

Of course, I suppose when Job named his daughters, there weren't many Biblical names, LOL!

Those are their names, yes. But translated into English is what I posted. But Job naming them would've been like calling them the English translations.

I knew a gal who named her baby Cognac cuz that's what she was drunk on when the baby was conceived. I was annoyed at her being so thoughtless. She wouldn't consider how the child was gonna feel being named after alcohol.

Although, I agree with other posters who point out that you need variety and change from time to time or every child would have similar names. I agree with variety--as long as common sense is present when the child is named.

I dunno, I know an awful lot of Brandys. Although, they could say it was the song...but is that really complimentary?

Brandy's a known name.

And her second choice was Heroin. What's next...Crack? Ick.
(Although, I don't know if she could of named her baby that legally.)

Edit: and she picked Heroin cuz she thought it was funny...not cuz she used it...but, still...

When my dad was a young policeman working the substation at the county hospital in a big city, he was amazed at how some people named their children -- after various body parts.

there's a lady in my hometown who named each of her 7 children after liquor. there's a hennessey, a cointreau, alize', and i forget the rest. if i walk down the liquor aisle at the store, though, i'd find them. i feel so bad for those kids when they get to school!

We have a very dear family friend who adopted kids named Cinnamon and Country.
