I don't see anything pretentious about it snoopcester Send a noteboard - 04/08/2010 12:29:14 AM
In fact, I'm not sure why it would be?

Still, funny names are better to joke about using than actually doing, unless you want your child to be picked on in school.

After Joel's post about names below, I have a question...a serious one. MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:12:32 PM 1366 Views
Not great, to be honest. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:17:25 PM 957 Views
I rather doubt you'll get many supportive reactions. Legolas - 03/08/2010 11:20:27 PM 1042 Views
That's kind of what I figured... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:49:37 PM 982 Views
That's subtler, at least. Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:03:04 AM 986 Views

I'd suggest Magnum! instead. Kuke - 03/08/2010 11:25:04 PM 897 Views
How do you pronounce the !? Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:26:50 PM 968 Views
Presumably it has its IPA value: alveolar click. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:42:33 PM 390 Views
The band "!!!" is pronounced "chk chk chk" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:35:40 AM 405 Views
Snow for the middle name. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:27:47 PM 965 Views
Hm. Rebekah - 03/08/2010 11:28:56 PM 963 Views
Re: Hm. TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:46 PM 913 Views
You'd have to make it a double-barrelled first name, otherwise it'd just be "Yellow White". Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:01 PM 960 Views
Her nickname could be Beige. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 03/08/2010 11:59:07 PM 410 Views
So she will be confused colorfully? *NM* MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:52:14 PM 418 Views
Yes. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:00:33 AM 395 Views
Sorry to be a spoilsport, but playing silly buggers with your children's lives is just not cool. *NM* Tim - 03/08/2010 11:30:54 PM 390 Views
Not playing silly buggers... MightyYT - 03/08/2010 11:53:45 PM 914 Views

Name your kids whatever you feel is right. Beqi - 03/08/2010 11:55:02 PM 1004 Views
I think it's cute but probably a bad idea, she might get married young just to change it *NM* Isaac - 04/08/2010 12:04:40 AM 385 Views
Hopefully it's not to Mr. Blower. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:07:57 AM 396 Views
This is a valid point. *NM* Tashmere - 04/08/2010 01:14:42 AM 392 Views

this. *NM* Camilla - 04/08/2010 10:06:18 AM 391 Views
Can I ask why you want to do that? Nate - 04/08/2010 12:29:51 AM 1042 Views
Watermelon Mallet Gallagher. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 04/08/2010 12:32:04 AM 450 Views
My parents meant well, but I couldn't live up to the expectations and had to change it. *NM* Nate - 04/08/2010 12:36:44 AM 394 Views
That's awesome BlackAdder - 04/08/2010 12:34:10 AM 962 Views
It's true there are some awesome names that have fallen into disuse... Legolas - 04/08/2010 12:44:55 AM 1037 Views
Heh, snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:23:10 AM 815 Views

Maybe Off or Egg? *NM* MightyYT - 04/08/2010 03:11:55 AM 429 Views
In truth, it might be better than Betty ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:25:20 AM 1049 Views
On a more embarassing note, I love the name Virginia, that would be worse than snow by a mile ... The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 02:32:00 AM 909 Views
The first thing I think of when I hear Viridian.... Kronin al'Sulc - 04/08/2010 04:42:23 AM 940 Views

Short answer: No, you should not. LadyLorraine - 04/08/2010 02:27:18 AM 1055 Views
Awesome! Have fun explaining the meaning of "snowballing" to a ten-year-old girl. Vodalus - 04/08/2010 02:48:12 AM 947 Views
What is the meaning of snowballing? *NM* The_Muted_Grimaud - 04/08/2010 04:13:32 PM 419 Views

If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. Vivien - 04/08/2010 04:24:12 AM 936 Views
Re: If you have a son, name him Major Major and change his last name to Major. snoopcester - 04/08/2010 10:24:11 AM 850 Views
hopefully you will mary someone smart enough to stop this madness *NM* random thoughts - 04/08/2010 05:43:25 AM 376 Views
After reading other's responses. . . Amys - 04/08/2010 06:41:33 AM 922 Views
Everyone is being too nice. It's a stupid idea. And it's selfish. Leave "cute" names for your dog. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 08:01:35 AM 365 Views
And goldfish. Goldfish handle terrible names really well. Mine have never complained. *NM* Rebekah - 04/08/2010 08:37:24 AM 463 Views
I dunno. They have such resentful stares. *NM* Ghavrel - 04/08/2010 09:26:59 AM 355 Views
you have to be carefull with the dog thing as well random thoughts - 04/08/2010 02:50:01 PM 788 Views
Another friendly but determined vote for "No way" *NM* ironclad - 04/08/2010 08:27:49 AM 459 Views
Don't. Have it as her nickname, but not her real name. It's charming but also charmingly silly. *NM* Kallichore - 04/08/2010 09:47:34 AM 413 Views
It isn't pretentious, that's for sure.... Elaine - 04/08/2010 01:47:19 PM 984 Views
Sounds like something I would do Tigr - 04/08/2010 02:27:09 PM 906 Views
My vote: no. Too much teasing. Nobody wants that. It'll be cool til she's 4. But that's it. *NM* Avendesora - 04/08/2010 03:02:15 PM 404 Views
.a serious one. Palatine - 04/08/2010 05:59:01 PM 973 Views
I don't think this is a terribly good idea, for many of the reasons posted - but I have a suggestion Francie - 04/08/2010 06:03:44 PM 953 Views
Using it as a pet name but not legal name is a great idea. Avendesora - 04/08/2010 07:34:08 PM 905 Views
I am filled with these. *NM* Francie - 04/08/2010 07:40:43 PM 407 Views
Just a thought.. Francie - 10/08/2010 07:50:31 PM 829 Views
