At least if the name was semi-odd, it could be marginally funny like Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue." <br><br>The sad reality to all of this is that any two heterosexual nimwits can get together, make a kid and name it whatever they want, but should two "normal" homosexual people want to adopt a kid, for no other reason than their sexual orientation, they are denied.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[candlestick4155]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 8:50PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Baby Names Being Derived from...Text Messaging?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/baby-names-being-derived-from-text-messaging/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/baby-names-being-derived-from-text-messaging/</guid><description><![CDATA[Anyone attempting to give their child a name that violates the norms to that degree should also be visited time and again by their governmental agencies of child welfare. <br><br>I dont know if the 4real/superman story is real, but I do know that there are 4 American children named ESPN (pronounced espen). People who choose names like this are giving everyone around them a peek into their mental maturity and the likely path of their children. <br><br>Whatever happened to giving children names that they could be proud of? Whatever happened to the dignity of an individual?

My mother had wanted to name me Morning Star. My grandparent's on both sides made fun of her during her entire pregnancy so she decided to name me Karen instead. Growing up I was happy that she had decided to name me something other than Morning Star but I still didn't like the name they decided on instead. Now that I am an adult I wish my mom had decided to stick with Morning Star. It wouldn't be so bad to be called Star. I like it now. Some of the names mentioned are out there but who are we to judge anyone by their name. The only one who should sit in judgement is the Lord. Just my opinion. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[proudmomma9507]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 31st 2008 9:37PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Baby Names Being Derived from...Text Messaging?]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/baby-names-being-derived-from-text-messaging/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2008/03/31/baby-names-being-derived-from-text-messaging/</guid><description><![CDATA[My sister worked for a while in a hospital maternity ward, and she said some women would ask for a copy of the Yellow Pages and pick their kids' name out of that!

My name is not as odd any longer but it's still hard to get people to spell it or say it correctly.
