Or naming all your sons after yourself like George Foreman
Well, I’m sure the boys later in here life will eventually tire of joking about ‘going south on North’.
Oh no, wait, they won’t. :smack:
I know I’m tired of it, already.
Actually North is not her real name. It’s short for Y-Axis with Respect to the Earth’s Surface.
If a kid’s going to be teased, he’s going to be teased no matter his name.
Commenting on celeb names might be fun, but I tend even when it comes to celebs to apply this rule: When I learn the name of an infant, my job isn’t to judge the name, but to welcome the infant into the world.
Having said that, I am the opposite of bothered by any of these names. Apple, especially, seems perfectly unobjectionable. Nice, even.
I personally think Easton would be better.
Kim Kardashian wanted the baby delivered by caesarian section. Kanye West insisted on a vaginal birth just so he can boast his child was delivered via the North West passage.
I’ll be here all week.
Yeah, kinda like killing five million Jews, then expecting people to give you a pass cause you’re ‘still better then Hitler’.
Of course, genocide is a crime and a relevant factor for all humans to be aware of and pass judgment on, while a baby’s name is really only a matter for the parents and the baby. And also not a crime.
Oh, la. I can think of names much more fun than pokey old North. How about —
Key
Go
Wild? Or, even better, Wildwild
Red Rock
Or my personal favorite, East
As long as nobody uses the name I want to use: Seven.
Thank you for pointing that out, it had momentarily slipped my mind. Other than that, though, parents giving their kids stupid names are exactly like Hitler.
Do you think that’s wise, Mr. Up
I don’t really buy that. Kids are teased for any reason, or for no reason. I was teased about my name, which is as ordinary as they come.
It’s your analogy.
It really wasn’t one. But maybe I should just heed my cultural heritage, and stop trying with this humor thing, it’s just not for Germans. It’s like you attack Poland, then try to blame them, because ha, it’s funny, right? and all hell breaks loose… :rolleyes:
Tough being named after a box office flop.
Tell it to Candice Agree.
Eh, a kid named North will probably receive less then 1% of the teasing a kid named “Richard” is going to get based on their name. But I doubt people would be freaking out if they named their kid Richard (well, other then the fact that it’s a girl, but you get my point).
Anyways, North is a perfectly crommulant name.
