Worst Name?

[Anonymous]

maybe you'll name them because you want them to eat "merde" and you want them to be a "puta"

I've tried, but I can't find a context in which this comment makes sense.

You should open your mind a little bit and understand that the world does NOT revolve around "America".

I don't think this is a matter of ignorance at all... it's a matter of taste. If I don't like how a name sounds, regardless of its country of origin, I don't like it. That doesn't make me ignorant. To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the name Barack (just don't like the way it sounds) but I'm sure it is considered a "beautiful, common" name in Nigeria. And I'm sure in Nigeria names like Ava, Emily, Sophie, Michael, and Jack could be considered ugly. They wouldn't be ignorant or nation-centric for thinking that.

yes, it's a matter of ignorance (lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact)
you are ignorant about the background of the person, the motivation of the parents when chosing the name of their child.

what should I say when I see someone named APRIL?
laugh?
what if the parent wanted to honor a grandparent naming the child after the dob of the grandparent?

you all should go spend time with your children instead of making fun of someone elses name.

Why do I need to know the motivations of the parent to determine if I like a name? That's ridiculous. So what if the person's name is Karis and that means "grace" in Greek? I don't like the way it sounds. Period. Or so what if someone was born in Summer and their parents wanted to honor the season of their birth. I don't like it. In my estimation, when someone is asking the best or worst of anything (as the OP was) it is matter of taste/opinion, not knowledge. That being said, there are many foreign names that I love and many, like Barack, that I don't.

HA HA HA
Here is a serious candidate to name their child "Merde" LOL

When I was 10 names like Debbie (remember Debbie Boone) were really popular and I wished my name was Debbie. I knew a girl named Lily and everyone felt sorry for her with that name. Now, I named DD Lily and absolutely love the name and couldn't imagine naming my kid Debbie. IMO its a bad idea to try to get too creative with spelling and the worst is adding in non-alpha characters like an apostrophe.

You heartless bitch-I'm a middle aged Debbie who was never a cheerleader and now you've insulted me-don't you know in English and native American Intuit Debbie means "woman of great power who speaks anonymously on the internet, congratulates herself on her own witty responses, loves sushi, hates eggplant, and calls herself Jimmy when shes had a lot of cough medicine"?

HYSTERICAL!! Thanks for the laugh

Actually Nigerians would be very careful not to insult names. Most Nigerian names have a deeper meaning and are not usually chosen because they sound nice but because of their significance. They have a deep respect for names. I am not Nigerian by the way. I just had the opportunity to spend some time there. I never actually heard the name Barack in Nigeria but then it may be a Kenyan name as that is where Mr. Obama Snr. hails from.

Also you would be surprised at how many Avas, Emilys, Sophies, Michaels, and Jacks you will find in other countries that happen to be far more accommodating of different nationalities and cultures than we are in America.

This is not a criticism of this thread. If it is making people happy – hey! I just wanted to clarify the point made by the pp.

Well, it was only a matter of time-some folks were having a little innocent fun and some Rainbow Coalition fruitcake gets her panties in a bunch-by the way, the District of Columbia is located in AMERICA! Thus the name DCUM and thus the fact that the majority of the posters here are posting from America-no one meant to insult clueless foreigners.

DC is in America the same way Mexico is in America, Panama, Argentina...
Ignorant, America is the Continent.
Your country is UNITED STATES of America, right?
you all meant to have fun using the inocense and good intentions of other people.
I wonder how you'll react when someone make fun of your clueless DC because "their" wonderful name.

It's the troll!

Only on DCUM. You called the person asking for more sensitivity a troll. As opposed to say the person who started this mean-spirited thread. This ties in nicely with the thread on what can be done about the nastiness of the forum. Obviously nothing, because "nastiness" appears to be in the eye of the beholder.

Actually if your read the OP's follow up it states that he/she changed the inquiry to: what names DO YOU LIKE? She liked the name Wynton, Jack, etc.
Few of you read an entire post really--just go tearing off like slavering jackals to the kill.

Count me out on the 70s. I haven't run into a Barb, Sally, Donna, Debbie, Pat, Stan, Barry or Herb under 40. These names conjure images of disco, curling irons, curlers or bad perms, and 8 track tapes.

Worst name I ever heard - Cloud - for a boy.

I wanna see your sense of humor when your DC comes home crying saying friends made fun of him/her at school...

I wasn't evil enough to name my kid Cloud.

You need to lighten up - I am laughing so hard at these posts that my coworker just asked if I was okay. I'm 6month pg and prone to crying spells - she thought I was crying.

I can also tell you that it won't happen to my child. At 3, she proudly tells anyone she meets that her name is Riley and asks what their name is. (Also, she's a little Irish brute that will probably be kicking the a$$ of any one who tries to make fun of her or her firends! That's my girl!
