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 ]]></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[April Fools is a day away Indigo.

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 ]]></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[HELLO MORNING STAR!!        MY YOUNGEST WAS ALSO BORN IN 1972!!   LET MY, IF I CAN, TRY TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND 1972!!   IT WAS A TIME IN ITSELF!!!   A TIME OF SELF EXPRESSION, WHICH, I'M SURE, IS WHY YOUR PARENTS WANTED TO NAME YOU MORNING STAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY (UNFORTUNATELY) WERE PRESSURED BY THEIR PARENTS TO "CONFORM". I HOPE YOU DO KNOW THAT YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR NAME BACK TO WHAT YOUR PARENTS REALLY WANTED YOUR NAME TO BE!!                    GOOD LUCK MORNING STAR!!!  BY THE WAY , THAT IS AN ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL NAME!!!! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carol]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 26th 2009 7:52PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></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!

A generation of fucked up mutants doing everything in their power to minimize their kids' chances of a normal life. There are plenty of interesting and beautiful trdittional names in real languages like Gaelic, Italian, and English that no one needs to stick their poor kids with something idiotic out of a cell-phone text message. Or is literacy (and I don't mean computer literacy) too much to ask. God must love stupid people, he makes so many of them!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 3rd 2008 5:40PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></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[Wow, what a bunch of dumbasses.
