Making up baby names

Apropos of this thread, I thought this site was amusing. It features a baby name generator that apparently starts with the root language or theme of your choosing and then distorts it to make a “new” name. Caveat emptor!

that link only leads to a parenting magazine subscription.

So, if you want to name your kid after a magazine, you’re okay?

" Free Subscription Baboon"

It has a ring to it, I must admit…

:wink:

Oops.

My friend’s sister just had a baby within the past couple of weeks… she named it Samwise. I nearly pissed my pants from laughing when I heard this.

Make your child hate their life and you as well with such LOVELY NAMES AS:

**
XANTONIELE
XIELLAWELM
XIELYNOEMA
XIENESHTON
XIEROSALEE**

Oh, now that’s just mean…

I like the endagered species category.

The favorite name I got was:
Wookie.

hmmm:

Wookie Baboon.

Look on the bright side, Samwise is gonna be one tough guy? what from having to fight his? way home from school every day and all.
This story reminds me of the story of Frank Zappa’s son Ahmet, the kids at school called him “Ahmet vomit” so he changed his name to Rick and the kids at school called him “Rick the dick” so he changed his name back.

My good twin, Sean, has named his yet-to-be-born daughter Arianna, dooming her to life as a stripper. Way to go there, Number One!

Why is “Arianna” a stripper’s name?

What’s wrong with “Samwise”? :slight_smile:

I plugged in Scandinavian names for guys from the bottom of the alphabet.

ZASILIUSTI
ZEERRENS
ZERREDREN
ZISAKSELOR
ZOVENER
ZASILIUS
ZASILORN
ZEMMINNU
ZEMY
ZINGER

YEMAGENS
YES
YINGMARVI
YIS
YISTAVOREN

Yes is a name? Yes?!

I typed in “E” names with a “Postvirtue” criteria. (Mainly because I don’t know what the hell “Postvirtue” means.)

I got

EDONAH
EDONTALON
EGALENE
EGALIND
ELANTIANAH

Hmmm. Some of these sound like prescription medications, and the other ones sound like a living nightmare when you’re trying to order something over the phone.

Makes me feel…postvirtuous.

Change the “Arianna” to “Brianna” - viola.

What, no Quenyan or Sindarin catagory?

Arianna isn’t so bad. Actually, I think it’s pretty.

The most recent additions to our family are Codee Lee (f) and Utah (m). Why an atheist from Australia would name her child after an American state known mostly for being a religious centre is beyond me. Utah’s older brother is Maximillian Ian, who joins cousin Codee in having a middle name that seems to oddly repeat the ending of the first name. I don’t actually know what Utah’s middle name is.
