A man from the UK named his daughter Meggie Maisie Lady Gaga and son Tommy will.i.am.
“I’m trying to convince him not to. He’s done it once so I’m sure he will do it again.”
The father apparently took the advice of his oldest daughter to name them after celebrities. I think it’s a terrible idea, but at least it’s not their first names!
What do you think about this? Would you name your kid after a celebrity?

What in the world… I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with naming them after a celebrity, but “lady gaga” just no. I think it’s stupid if he actually spells it “will.i.am” instead of just William.
guest
what is this world coming to…

Someone named their baby “Like” from Facebook. I am not surprised someone would name their kid Lady Gaga or Will.I.Am. How are they going to get jobs when they are older or expect people to take them seriously??????
guest
I question the father’s age, maturity level and sanity o-o

This makes me ashamed to be British.

I would really like to name a daughter Giselle. I believe I started to like the name after finding out that it was Beyonce’s middle name. But I wouldn’t name a daughter that because it’s Beyonce’s middle name, but because I think it’s a beautiful name.

That’s just weird… then again, celebrities name their children strange things – like Pilot Inspektor.

I was honestly expecting the name to be something like I.Am.A.Lady.

I read somewhere, not sure where, about a little girl who had a bad name and she legally changed it when she was 9. Good for her. I remember her name started with T but that’s all I remember.
guest
wait… so… apparently daddy has all power over the kids’ names? huh? Is the wife the mother of the kids???
guest
mistake!! mistake!! ugh poor girl

@delication@xanga - I have a cousin with that same name and know a few people with that name. It’s a pretty normal name as far as I’m concerned.
OP:
My friend has a unique name and she hates it for good reason. Her real name is Little Annie {insert last name}. She’s mostly called Annie as opposed to Little.
My only rule of thumb? Don’t give children names that will cause them grief and it’s usually a bad idea to name children after celebs or music artists because a lot of them fade pretty quickly and a lot of them lose relevance after some time.

@AngelAsh_86@xanga - Her name was something like “Talulah does the hula from Hawaii” or something equally ridiculous, haha.
guest
fucking lame.
guest
@AngelAsh_86@xanga - Talula does the hula from hawaii, I believe was the name.
guest
@delication@xanga - it is a beautiful name, but i used to know a girl in high schoolnamed Giselle, and let’s just say she went by Jizzy the majority of the time.
guest
beats naming your sons “adolf hitler” and “arayan nation”

If I were either of those children, as soon as I got old enough and big enough, I would freaking kick both of my parents’ asses and then promptly get my name changed on my 18th birthday. God, that is so stupid.
Oh, and if that were my husband? I wouldn’t be sitting back passively and letting him pick those names either. No freaking way. If I pushed the kid out, I would expect to have at LEAST half of the say (if not more) on the name of my child. Argh.

What a fucking moron. I’m glad he’s from the UK, though, and not here.
guest
poor kids….
guest
someone really wanted to make the local news.
guest
@AngelAsh_86@xanga - Was it Talula does the Hula? I heard about that. I think the parents lost custody for giving her such a dumb name.
guest
Cute.
guest
not weird, they are middle names, after all. I mean my aunt named my li’l cousin Emily Selena, Selena because of the singer that passed away at the time Mex Tech Pop Singer Selena Quintanilla

@o0_Innocent_0o@xanga - and for his wife for not being as resistant, “I’m trying to convince him not to. He’s done it once so I’m sure he will do it again.” <—— as if she didn’t had a choice, she wanted a wacky baby names too .
guest
@needmoreink@xanga - dang, you said it way ahead of me, good observations about the wife’s passive response ^_^

@LitlKittyKat@xanga - Jason Lee is awesome xD

@xTwilightAlchemistX@xanga - Yes, I believe it was. How did the parents ever agree on such a dumb name?

@written_conversations@xanga - @TheBlueNinjaTiger@xanga - Yes, I think that was the name. How in the world did the parents ever agree on something so dumb? No wonder the poor girl changed it.
