What not to name your baby!
What Not to Name Your Baby
Author Joe Borgenicht doesn't reveal here what he chose to name his son, but you can bet it's not Eubie, Ralph, or Boris. He's right on target when he says parents ought to find the name "that the fewest number of school children could potentially make fun of," and his guidelines are simple. Among them: don't use "clevur speling," avoid naming your kid after the lead character from a blockbuster film, and designate the names of cities and states for maps only. It's not a perfect baby-shower gift for everyone, as he mentions plenty of names that unfortunately rhyme with anatomical parts usually heard only in sex-ed classes. And some of his advice is utterly subjective: the name "Ethan," in his opinion, evokes the image of "a thick sweater-wearing, curly-haired college kid who smokes a lot of pot." But the list of more than 1,000 names to avoid is worth plenty of chuckles, and may save your offspring from 85 or so years of embarrassment. Sure, those pregnancy hormones are powerful, but they needn't be responsible for a lifetime of suffering on the part of your child. --Erica Jorgensen

What Not to Name Your Baby
"This book is *not* to be taken seriously. It is a silly book, which will make you laugh. Indeed, one-by-one, my entire family thumbed through the book, laughing all the way."
"Wonderful gag gift for expectant parents"

Unfortunate Baby Names: Slattery's Complete Collection (2005 NEW EXPANDED EDITION)
Unfortunate Baby Names was the hit of my party. Some friends of mine are expecting a baby, and as we read through the names in this volume we had a room full of people laughing until it hurt. A little twisted: Woody Allen meets Robert Anton Wilson. Thankfully, it does carry a warning that the names are for theatrical use only.

My mom told me about a family in the mountains who named their child - gasp - Texas Tarzan. I wonder what he is up to today? Fun lens you have! Posted June 11, 2007 |

Especially during those teen years, kids will go out of their way to be contrary. That is why it is best to avoid names like: Prudence, Angel, Precious or Chastity. I knew a girl named Angel that was the antithesis of her name. It didn't help that Daddy gave her a black Camaro for her 16th birthday. Posted April 21, 2007 |

Charmin - just like the toilet tissue. Poor girl's parents didn't know any better- English was a second language for them. My advice to immigrant parents: PLEASE run names you like for your child by a local native person. This will save your child a world of hurt and years of therapy. Posted April 21, 2007 |
