NoSaint Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I always thought that was a nickname that just stuck. Real name. Helped him grow up tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I worked with a girl who narrowed the kid's name down to "Grayling" or "Pike" (they were avid fishermen). She asked my opinion, so I said "why not Kickmyassontheplayground? You'll get pretty much the same result." She didn't think it was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 I once heard about a guy who was stuck with the name Orenthal. I wonder how he turned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Jack Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 You mean Orenthal James? He shortened that to OJ. That'd be the perfect nickname for someone in the orange juice industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's House Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 I'm actually all for this kind of thing Most people don't realise that naming their child something dumb "But Unique and Different" can sometimes lead to alot of bullying and name calling from other kids growing up But hey, atleast the parent can smile and talk about the uniqueness that they gave their child My dumbass sister-in-law just named her kid "Messiah Elijah ------". When my horrified wife asked her if she realized she was basically naming her son "God" she replied "It has a strong meaning". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 There are a lot of people out there who think having kids is all about themselves. I've had people when my wife and I were younger calling us selfish for not having kids. And I'd tell them no, it's many times just the opposite. I work with a guy whose last name in Boring. He met a girl in college whose first name was Truly. He constantly asked her out on dates and she turned him down. Finally one day she just gave up and accepted a date. He joked with her and said if we got married you'd be Truly Boring. She said, not on your life bub. Well they did get married she has been Truly Boring for probably 15 plus years now. Oh and I've seen her at parties and she is NOT Truly Boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot wait until you write your first birthday card or the Christmas present gift with the "to." Gosh. It's funny, my sister is with twins right now - I am reminding her of all the names she liked as a kid. One was Batavia for a girl, and I am pushing the name Denton for the boy. The boy she's not sure of yet, and she is going with just plain Lauren for right now - gag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a distinct group of people. Now Chef... Atticus is a bit more in the norm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
