Chip is the son, wherever dad and son have the same names. Instead of "Junior" I guess.

Chip off the block?

It's actually a nice name, but was ruined by a stuck up college classmate who would always correct anyone who pronounced her name with the typical American enunciation (Nad-ah-lee). She'd always say "It's Nat-uh-lee" with extra emphasis on the "t".


I have a friend whose name is spelled Nathalie. Her mother is from Luxembourg, and I believe that is the European way of spelling the name.

Wouldn't you be pissed if someone mispronounced your name?


My classmate and her family were from Illinois. She was just pretentious.

Absolutely same! I hate Jayden, Aiden, and Hayden (yuck!!!!!!!). Trying so hard to sound preppy/attractive, but probably unattractive and mildly white trash.



Not mildly. VERY.


What if you know AA kids named Jayden? Can the parents be both black and white trash? Kind of a gray trash?


PP back. I actually do know one Jayden who is 1/2 black and 1/2 white.


Me too. We however know so many Jadens that when clarifying he is described as "black and white Jaden". Asian Jaden is referred to as "Jaden-Jaden" because we see him all the time. T

Hmmm, I think they also use "th" in the spelling of "Mathilde."

Interesting. I actually feel Beatrice is worse. (I have no skin in this game; I have neither a Beatrice nor a Beatrix.)


My niece is Beatrix (Bea) and I love it. Her mom is British and they live in the most hipster part of Brooklyn so it works. It's really grown in me.

As a child of the seventies I was given one of these hideous names. Thanks.


I have one, too, but I was a child of the sixties!


+1, but born in the 80's-- I was always the only one in my class, which seems to be pretty desirable on this board....


The seventies names are pretty awful. If anyone names their kid "Rhonda" in this decade, just ugh...
