Get Over It
An interesting side effect of my research for the book is that I’ve developed Bad Baby Name Sympathy. I find that I start defending the name-givers.
Take this blog post, for instance, about Cate Blanchett’s new child and baby name. No offense to the author, but I find it hard to believe that anyone these days is surprised or shocked by celebrity baby names. I mean, really? And this one isn’t that bad: Ignatius.
Apparently, our sense of justice and fairplay about names is deeply ingrained and not easily uprooted.
And I’m not just saying this because I secretly wanted to name my kid Ignatius. Promise.

in that case I agree with you, Ignatius is not that bad name.

How about the name Gunner? I know someone who recently named their son that. His first name is Gunner and his middle name is the name of his father, so it makes him sound like he is a particular rank in the military followed by a name. Does anyone know where the name Gunner for a son came from??
I believed it’s based off of the Scandinavian name Gunnar, which basically means “warrior.” Either that, it Gunner really means what it sounds like, “someone who uses a gun.”
I agree. I’ve frequently roll my eyes at the computer screen at all the shock and dismay some name police express over this name and that name. I mean, don’t they just get tired of all the drama after a while? Sheesh …
My husband went to school with a set of sisters (Mansfield, Oh) and I kid you not their names were:
Very Sweet
Really Sweet
Truely Sweet
Always Sweet
Forever Sweet
I knew someone who named their kid Precious Joy - she went by PJ not surprisingly.
here are some awful names, I actually know these poeple:
Dixie Borders
Rusty Badman
Otto Graff
Harry Hohl
(& his wife who was born in China) My Hohl!!!
Awful names seem to come in threes, have we all noticed this? Take, for instance, my sisters and my best friend. All pregnant with boys, my bestie expecting a month before my sisters who are due 2 days apart. My bff names her son Quinn (I totally love this name for a little girl), my sister names her son Harry (really?!) and my other sister names her son Cwynn (what is that name you may ask… it’s Quinn, just with a unique twist on the spelling…)
Here are some other celebrity names that I shake my head at…
