I was almost dying laughing. Unfortunately, I know kids with three of the names listed in the article. (The one about the girl getting bent over the sink at TGI Fridays....now that was harsh).</p> <p>I know an Addisyn, Jaedyn, and a Maddysyn. I don't get it! They don't even look right! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-253301 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:59:06 +0000 rachiecakes 253301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rachel: I like this one, too, haha - I know a handful of Kiers, as well as a Kiernan and Kieran... ah, Boston </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-253241 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 14:13:25 +0000 photomommy 253241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This was hilarious!

I'm all for "different" names, but some of these are silly. Seriously. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-253026 Thu, 09 Aug 2012 11:18:53 +0000 IcebergMom 253026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband and I love Portlandia! </p> <p>I really dislike alternative spellings for common names. Where I live it sounds like every kid is from a soap opera. All the other Graces (my daughter's name) are 60+. Love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-250155 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 19:48:23 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 250155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in Utah... The phrase from Portlandia is "put a bird on it", but in Utah it's all about putting Y's in names. Yes you can get 3 Y's in one name. Now when they call me about a kid from the ER and tell me his name is "Max" I ask how many Y's are in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-250112 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 18:56:42 +0000 matador84 250112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought it was funny. If you have read Freakonomics, it is research based and proven that what is in a name can determine how far someone might go in life. I teach in a middle school where it is very high-poverty...and tons of precious kids have pretty ridiculous names. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-250033 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:47:25 +0000 anonysquire 250033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: I'm with you. I love unique names! I am a Lindsay and growing up I always had like 5 best friends named Lindsay. It got old :)</p> <p>I would never make fun of people naming their kids plain names, but people always give me grief when they hear my future unique names. Eh, oh well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-250023 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:39:44 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 250023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Egh! I hate people who misspell names just to be different. Some names are just ridic. I feel bad for the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-250011 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 17:33:15 +0000 MrsH 250011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"• Blayde The extra Y in there makes it 10 percent sharper. And don't fuck with Blayde's brother, Nyfe." I almost just had water come out of my nose while reading this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249938 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:37:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 249938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha maybe I have no sense of humor but I totally found his article condescending and... mean. idk maybe I took it personally?!</p> <p>I have a unique first name and I LOVE it. I would much rather have a unique name than be "one of four Jennifer's" in my class. </p> <p>Knowing how much I adore my name, I wanted my son to have something that is not too common - someone who will be taken seriously, but also "unique". I did a lot of research on the name first to be sure that there were other good people out there with his name. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249902 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:08:25 +0000 tororojo 249902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think Julissa is a legit name (I have known a couple that are now in their 20s) but WOW, I must agree that some of the baby naming trends are pretty atrocious these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249896 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:03:45 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 249896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, wow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249892 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 16:00:35 +0000 LuLu Mom 249892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: This was my favorite too! haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249887 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:57:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 249887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snorted several times while reading this article . . . lol @ Raw'Bert! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249884 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:56:57 +0000 Shutterbug 249884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Kierson - Straight from the "Invented Irish name for Boston-area steakheads" file" LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249874 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:51:56 +0000 mrsjyw 249874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L O L? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249864 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:43:15 +0000 LuLu Mom 249864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The sarcasm makes me laugh, and I do agree with a lot of points, nothing drives me more nuts than 'weird" spellings to be different. Or spellings that make no sense with the pronunciation of the name. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/babu-names#post-249569 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:21:45 +0000 Smurfette 249569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend forwarded this to me.
