Yes, yes, fine, but what kind of tattoo are you going to put on her, and what kind of piercings will she be sporting by Kindergarten?

Have fun having seven other kids with the same name in EVERY FUCKING CLASS YOU EVER TAKE, kid.

what bs....

Well, if my reports are right, in this I, Anon column, this past week, the nagging submissions went down a 69%. The same goes for nagging comments. Don`t post no more nagging shit.

"Kids arenโ€™t garage bands or funny blog posts or pets", said the confused crazy cat lady, in her early teens, at the beginning of her book." Who obviously went out and sold the remaining of her books to recycling companies and that way paying for the big black financial hole her edition sales left her with.

Did you even *consider* "Skittle" or "Sauronella"?
7
Yeah, I know my friends with those common, 6 in every class, boring names always enjoyed being a last name instead. Is your last name interesting at least?
8
Common, ordinary names can be irritating and stupid too. Why is naming your child, of all thing, so trendy? Why do people in such overwhelming numbers right now think Jayden, Ethan, Jacob, Noah, and Logan are such phenomenally great names? This stuff often follows trends from people on TV. People...
9
Those were some of the most common white boys' names; but I should mention some white girls' names: Emma, Isabella, and Sophia -- great big heaps of them. Those would all be really lovely names, if they weren't so ubiquitous.
10
Uhm, what is this IA even bitching about?
11
Boring.
12
Todd's right. You should have named your daughter Skittle, after Zooey Deschanel's clitoris. She'd be the most popular girl in school!
13
YOUR KID IS STUPID.

I have a very unique name and I love it! I am complimented on it almost everyday, and who doesnt like that? The dozens of sarahs and daves I have know have often been jealous of my unique name and I have never wished to have a plain and boring name. Theres nothing wrong with plain names, but dont act like there is anything wrong with unique ones either. You say you and your wife have plain names, maybe you should talk to people with unique names about their experiences before you decide its so horrible and judge other parents for thinking outside the box

Since it's unlikely I'll produce biologicaly offspring, it's unlikely I'll get to choose a name for a child. HOWEVER, if I did have the opportunity: you can guarantee I'd name them all after characters from the classic PS1 games Suikoden and Suikoden 2. I'd also give them different last names, because mine is boring.

But yeah. Name your kid whatever the heck you want. That's a parent's right.
16
Meh, my name is Sarah and I have tattoos, an alternative lifestyle, a rowdy fast-paced career that doesn't involve anything illegal, and freakin' awesome parents who raised me to be a good person and make good decisions no matter what. In fact, I'm about to become a first-time parent myself and could not be more excited. As my parents offered to me, I will offer to my child the freedom of choice within reason, and a lifetime supply of good morals, despite the name my partner and I have chosen for him (which is a helluva good one, regardless). It doesn't matter what you name your child to anyone but them.....and they'll turn out to be whatever they want anyhow, so chill out and don't place judgement on other people's choices. Hopefully your kid sees past your silliness in the future.
17
So Sarah, is your point that your boring name created your boring copycat tattoos-and-alternative-lifestyle lifestyle?
18
@Geyser - Don't you mean Jadin, Ythan, Jaykub, Lhogyn, and Nuwhahhhhhhh?
19
Wow, that is really a sad comment on the stress young Portland parents are going through in their daily lives nowadays. I can't even imagine the play-date stress this young, striving couple must be going through to deal with the fact that their special snowflake has an average and normal name. But good for you!! Don't justify your life choices! Be proud to be the family with boring names!!!!!!
20
I'm going to name my child Zappawachatuy. match that
21
Boring names are boring.
22
Have you considered being friends with people who aren't dickheads?
23
nice comment Chris
24
No, Wow...my point is that a name doesn't make a person. Thanks for missing it! *headpalm*
25
I would've named her Ointment and put a fucking bird on her.
26
just be glad that you don't live in Utah. Where they take traditional names, but give them all kinds of ungodly spellings. You could literally Be Sarah spelled Seiruh. (And that's being conservative and just winging it off the top of my head)
27
Ah, Portlanders and their trite shit are more boring. they just don't know it. Fuck 'em.

Please wait...
