Siap: I had class with a dude named Random. Apparently he is named after a character named Prince Random in some sci fi novel series
Old names often come back around. I don’t think that’s weird. Weird is naming kids names that aren’t real and are usually an amalgamation of some other trendy bullshit made up names.
White trash is naming your kids after a movie and enlightened white trash is naming your kids after a book.
Couple I went to high school with named their two daughters Upton and Crew. Shouldn’t be surprised though, dad’s name is River and he has a brother named Canyon
I'm trying to picture what "enlightened white trash" is. Seems kind of oxymoronic, unless white trash is purely used in a socioeconomic way.
Shakespeare gets a pass. I’m talking about people naming their kid something like Holden. It’s people who are educated enough to have read a few classic novels but dumb enough to think naming your kid after one of the characters makes them interesting.
My cousin was dating a girl whose son was named Riot. I'm sure it was spelled some dumb ass way, too.
Know a Rob Roberts. And a Phillip Philips (not the singer). Hard for me to understand what the fuck your parents were thinking giving you the name Phillip when their last name is Phillips.
Know somebody (they are white) that gave their kids a second middle name which isn't that weird, but it's an Indian name. Indian as in Indian subcontinent for clarification sake.
this could be really cool depending on the people. I love Hawaiian names and named two of my kids with Hawaiian names. I never saw it as something wrong.
Named ours a traditional Irish name and people here in Texas keep pronouncing it wrong. No idea how they see his name and pronounce it wrong.
Shakespeare characters is such a wide range that it could be ok or could be wtf e.g. Juliet vs. Hamlet. Another pet peeve is naming your kid something that doesn’t flow with the last name. Like relatively exotic first name + Irish last name.
hi these are my children Lysander and Desdemona. their mother and I met in English class freshman year.
I went to elementary school with a kid named Brighton Early and high school with a kid named Rico Rico.
one of the kids at my wife's clinic is named Rickyrob. they had to call the parents to make sure that was all one name, and sure enough it was
