A number of these are very common in certain cultures.

But a lot of them are just names that douchebags dreamed up.

Huh? someone who loves english kid lit. Not what I think of as pretentious esp since both characters are of modest background.


Yes, I'm tickled by the idea that it's pretentious to name a child after a small bear in a duffel coat, named after a London train station, who regularly covers himself with jam.


I don't think paddington is pretentious, but I do think its a bit silly. Go bigger -- Heathrow or Schipol.


OMG Heathrow would be the BEST! Please please let's start a trend of international airport babynames. That would be a new front in tweeness/pretentiousness.

I can see an O'Hare, a Heathrow, Hartsfield, and .... wait for it ... IDLEWILD. I will pay $1000 to anyone who names their child Idlewild. It is just so PERFECT.

I challenge anyone here not to find one decent name on this list. There are actually some really great names waiting here. Too bad I have my last baby's name picked.

Mercedes is a beautiful and classic Spanish name. Would be weird if you were not from a Latin/Spanish culture.
