Baby names?

Just be glad you weren't one of Frank Zappa's children, Moon, Dweezil, Ahmet and Diva. There are some names I hear and think, "That's a kid's name", because it was uncommon when I was young.

Those are some fancy names. Speaking of "Moon", I actually know a little girl called "Luna". That's quite nice I suppose.

Robin Williams' (RIP) daughter is called "Zelda". 😀

My cat's name is Luna :P
Zelda was actually a common Jewish name at one point although I am not sure it has continued that way.

Ah, right! Not sure if R. Williams was Jewish.
Closest I did was naming my rabbit Willow.... and even that was more a nod to the Warwick Davis film to be honest.

I know someone who named their child Piper after the Charmed character.

Strangest name I've heard. Probably Beckham, Kosworth, Sambuca, Beyonce.

I could picture a family with four children named Sambuca, Ouzo, Pernod and Anisette, all licorice flavoured liqueurs. But only in California.
Some people just shouldn't name their kids, it's horrible, I know i shouldn't judge, but I do.

Some names beg to be judged... People here hear "Michael" and name their sons Maicon, Maicol, or some stranger spelling you can think of.

I read the obituaries in the newspaper: the amount of "John Lennons" that die are uncanny.

I know a guy who named his son Axl, after Guns's Axl Rose; I like it.

It may take some convincing of my future wife (whomever she maybe😉) but I fully intend to name our son after Fox Mulder out of the X-Files, and he will be the coolest dork of them all!

I know a little baby boy called Fox Winter!
 
The most unusual person I know is Peace And Love... first name Peace, middle name And Love. She's just called Love for short.

I knew a girl in high school named Autumn Leaves Flowers. Her parents were hippies. She had a sister with a weird name too, but I can't remember.

I did name on my hamsters Spike, cause I loved Spike at the time. lol.

I like the name Autumn. Also winter. Summer maybe
Nothing wrong with that, might be that on the list myself, it would be such a unique thing to call a child😀
 
I think that fandom names can be pretty cool for kids. As long as they're names though... like Xander, Willow etc... if you like it, then why not?

I'm not a fan of 'things' as names. Like pillow or blanket and all that stuff. Pilot Inspektor... just, c'mon... or like 'Freedom'... those are the kids that grow up and change their names to Bob or something else super-regular 😉

As for fandom, I'll admit that I'm very happy my brother-in-law vetoed my sister's desire to name their first son "Tiggr"...
"Funny" names like that are better saved for pets if you ask me. (Person who named her dog 'Buffy') 🙂

I knew a girl named Freedom. Lol
I don't like blanket name recommendations, because i think the last name is an important decider in what the first name should be. That being said, I like gender neutral uni - sex names myself, like morgan, dylan, logan, etc. for girls a lot. But very feminine names are also nice.

Of the buffyverse names I can't say, because I associate the name with the character too much to be objective. I like wesley, but it's because it flows well with his full name and because he's such a memorable person. It could fall flat and lack taste like day old soda for another person. I don't know.
 
I always preferred names that could be shortened such as Nathaniel. The child could be known as he wanted, as was suitable.
Nat, Nathan, Niel or Nathaniel.

I agree, I like names like that too.
