I have a rabbit named Tido. It's spelled with a "d". Not a good name for a person, but a great name for a rabbit.

My grandmother's English name was Mabel.

I like Mabel, I think it has a nice sound to it, but Maybelle was something a little different sounding. It's hard to explain.

A truly horrific name I came across today was "Starkeisha". I guess her mom liked Starkist.

Another horrible name for a girl would be "Honor". If you can't figure out why, just pronounce it a few times.

Fifi Trixibelle, Peaches Honeyblossom, and Pixie. Those are actual names rocker Bob Geldof cruelly bestowed to his three daughters.

It's a little creepy to give them names that sound like porno actors. $:-\$

They're going to have to alter their names a bit if they want to go into politics. I can't imagine someone saying "and the next President of the Unites States, Fifi Trixibelle"

All the name you posted Ari are great... for dogs

. I don't like the names which make the identification of children sex difficult like Skylab or Honour for girls or names that don't fitt like Cleopatra unless you're Egiptian Queen not 300 pounds shvartza "princess" from ghetto

. You shud always give name from your culture. I got both my names "Hebrew" so gave my son one "Jewish" too: Jan or John/יוחנן (Yoḥanan).

Yeah, but like most people, my mind initially conjures to the woman with a hair full of snakes, whose glares turn men into stone...

I can't stand the idea of naming a child after a country. Why would anyone would want to name a kid China, India, Egypt, Indonesia, Cuba, etc... Do they realize how absurd it is to give a child such a name? Can you imagine the following: "Hey Croatia, can you please give to me a soda?", "Zimbabwe, for the last time, clean your room now!", "That's it, Albania! You're grounded, young man!"?

Also, misspelled names tick me off. What, can't the kid spell his/her name right? Oh wait, their illiterate/"trendy" parents thought that it was a good idea to substitute the letter I for the letter Y, the letter S for the letter Z, etc... in their child's name, thereby making their kids look like retards. If you want to see copious examples of intentionally misspelled names, then watch that panderer Maury, or go to your local welfare office.

And, Muslim names. Enough said.

There is help for all those without a clue. I.N.C.H.

The Institute for Naming Children Humanely is a non-profit organization dedicated to achieving a better society through better names for children.

I did see a book where the author was really puzzled as to why black parents are naming their children with black names when statistics show that children with black names do worse academically , career wise, and get more into crime!!!!!!!!!!!!
