That's why you're so smart now. :wink: Yeah, you had the "cool" name, even if you could never find anything personalized. I guess we should be glad we were girls. One of us could have been named Derrick.
At church a few weeks ago, there was a baptism. I had to listen a couple times to make sure I heard it right.
Memphis James Cleveland.
At least they used James for middle name, and not Detroit, for the full-on, 3-city, dumpster-fire trifecta name.
Memphis is an odd name, but OK. But in combination with Cleveland as surname? Who would do that to a kid? Child abuse.
And I know what you are thinking, but the family was 100% European ancestry as far as I could tell. Kid is definitely eligible for the Bill Simmons Reggie Cleveland All-Star team.

Zachary here.
There was usually at least 1 other in my classes with the same name. I don't really love it or hate it. I've always gone by Zach, which is where frustration came in.
Didn't really like teachers calling me by the full version (even when they would ask if I go by that or Zach). It's also sometimes a struggle to determine if a form is 'official' enough to warrant using the full version. Even on ones I do, I've still always used Zach for the signature..

I remember reading the Hickory Park dessert menu when I was younger and thinking the "ambrosia sundae" sounded pretty, and decided I wanted Ambrosia for a daughter. :no:
Is this a clever way of making this thread about your strip club thread? Ambrosia is a porn/stripper name if I ever heard.
Right? Talk about forcing your child into a certain profession from birth. I'm so glad I rethought that as I got older. It would totally be a stripper name. Or a drag queen.
I never even thought about that. It's totally the perfect drag queen name.
My husband worked with a girl once who wanted to name her daughter "Animosity," because she liked the way it flowed.
That would be horrible, and she would have had to name her other children something like Sloth and envy
I've always wanted to google and see if I could find a child named that. This wasn't a 13-year-old or anything, either - she was an adult and worked at the same office as him.
This is why I hate my name. Every Brad I've ever met, other than myself of course, has been pretty cool. But every doosh in the movies is named Brad.
Surprisingly, my name made the top 25, though I have not met a lot of people with the same name. I am a junior, named for my dad, although he has always gone by his middle name. I didn't really like it growing up because it rhymes with a lot of other "-uck" words.
We had Kyle James picked out for our son, but had all girls. Hannah Elizabeth, Jennifer Elise, and Molly Beth.
We made a conscious effort to stay away from first/last name rhymes etc, and tried to stay fairly common.

My last name is pronounced wrong a lot more than I would think it should be. People just dont believe how it is pronounced.
My name is Ryan, and I mostly like it. The problems are that there are no older men named Ryan so it seems kind of like a boy's name than a man's name, and that R is too much work to write in cursive. Ry-Devyn, and Ryeesha sound like good names for my future children.
