Geeez, gray seem to have a mood today.

That's the kind of name you have to grow into.

Canyon is most definitely not a girls name.

My sister named her kid Jurnee.

I've always thought that if I had kids I'd name them after people I loved who have died. Tops on the list right now is Dale, but it also includes Thora and Emilia.

Just seems like you'd already have a nice warm feeling about the name, plus it both reminds you of the one you lost and of your (presumably also loved) child.

ditto. any name i give a child (if i ever do) will come from someone i've loved.

growing up with a name that's not the norm, it really, really helps to know that it comes from someone very special. i never once wished i had a different name because i've always known i was named after someone hugely loved and very special.

i worked in a driving school and we got a lot of recent immigrants coming in to get lessons so they could get their canadian drivers licenses. some names that stood out:

bich leung truong ("hi, i'm just calling to confirm bich's lesson this monday?")

weewee pipi (pronounced pee pee)

lumberjack billy-bob wong (no word of a lie, this guy CHOSE this name when he came here thinking it was more 'canadian' sounding than his birthname)

ignatius nip

oh, and i was in grade three with a girl named mary christmas.

My son is called RHYME!

I'm gonna name my son Sue, and my daughter Bob.

Gotta toughen up the little boogers.

My dad wanted to name me after his father, my mom after a character from Silverado. I ended up with the former as first, latter as middle, so which do they call me? Character from the movie.

Oh, and my dad wanted to name my sister Velveeta. Yea, like the cheese. My parents were brilliant at naming.

My son has a very everyday normal first name, but his middle is York after a family name on my husband's side.

I've always liked the name Piper for a girl. Except it reminds me of airplanes.

I read this as "Unusual names for feral children" and really thought nonlips had outdone itself.

Well, my full name, including middle names (I have two) is alright, but my first and last are the most boring combination of all time.

My full name is Bradley James Smith.

BRING IT.

Wow, so not only did she pick a weird name, but she spelled it wrong too?

The name Adolf has fallen out of fashion.

Understandably so.

I always thought if I had a son I'd name him Buster - a bit unusual but not in a this-name-will-get-your-kid-bullied-beaten-up-and-targeted-at-school kind of way.

Then someone pointed out to me his nickname would inevitably be...Busty.
