[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man oh man am I dragging up this old thread. But hey, I googled "why do people name their kid braden" and got here somehow, and I'm also a Northern VA resident, so it's fate, I guess :D

I also hate the -aden names for either gender, as you might have gathered. I've always hated the names Bertha, Ursula, Beryl, and any of the McK- names.

For the record, my name is Audrey, and I am of German descent, which appears in my middle name, Lore (short for Hannelore, oma's name). I was really surprised to see both names on here only once since they're kinda old lady names. Also, if I have a daughter, I want to name her Moira Ardith (surprised I didn't see those either), and a son will be Kieran Brett (I love the name Kieran because it's got the same roots as the name Cernunnos...good to hear he'll be a good drinking buddy, too!). I'm stuck on Moira because of the Greek Moirae, and I've just always loved the name (fortunately my husband does, too).[/quote]

Okay Audrey Lore "hater of the *aden* names",

Lore? Really I'm German, also. My Oma was named Willehmina. Your parents Americanized Hannelore to Lore, yet you are bitching about "aden" names. Pot meet Kettle.....

Kieran is just as bad if not worse as Braden, Jaden, Aiden, Taden, Caden, ect. It's a true Irish name that lots of Irish people use, but a German person complaining about other perfectly good names picking such an oddball name. Wow.

And Moira Ardith? Wha? You hate McK names, I'm assuming McKenna would be one of those? McKenna sounds 1000xs more normal than Moira Ardith.

Now, I find that your taste in names is *your* taste in names, not mine. So why rip on OTHER people's taste in names? Just because YOU want to name your children oddball names that you find perfectly beautiful doesn't mean that everyone else thinks those names are lovely, just like you don't find the "ADEN" names lovely while some other people obviously do.

Why are we so judgmental of what others name their children, give it a rest people. And FYI, it isn't the kids that are making fun of their peers' names on the playground, it's the parents (us!) who are the shit-talkers. See: the entire Internet.[/quote]
