It must really suck for people who have these names or gave them to their children. I mean, it's already done... Who knows. maybe they'll realize what they did and file for a name change.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-not-to-name-your-baby#post-822450 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:59:15 +0000 rachiecakes 822450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: my friend is a social worker and she gets some doozies, too. a sample?

Not as prevalent today, but five decades ago black men were called "boy" or by their first name and not Mr. So and So even when a child addressed them. At least with a furst name of Sir the man was called something dignified. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-not-to-name-your-baby#post-822415 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:51:39 +0000 jmarionsmith 822415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: omg. those names. i just can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-not-to-name-your-baby#post-822403 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:48:34 +0000 mrs. wagon 822403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: ..... did those babies name themselves??? aaaaaaaaaa! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-not-to-name-your-baby#post-822398 Fri, 31 May 2013 14:47:38 +0000 .twist. 822398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: Oh wow.
