For fun, ok, I was bored, I was reading the Star's Births section today..
Why, do today's parents, give their kids such, weird names?
What's wrong with the Classics?

The classics represent their parents and grandparents. Some would distance themselfs from family, even if in name only.

So the next time you meet a Tomisha Mc Greggor. Bet the mom was pissed at her mom for wanting to know who's kid this is

Theese people are just too stupid to understand the ills of society today. And its needs

Huh? I always thought a name, should mean Something.
Not just a combination of sounds, pleasing to the ear...but
should, have a conection to the past, someone special, and be a name that one would be proud of , walking into a board room.
Remember, kids, grow up..Give them a grown up name!
 
Some parents want something distinctive and unusual, it's funny when thousands of other parents are on the same wavelength and they discover their cool name isn't so unique anymore.
The fad used to be last names being used as first names, Taylor, Tyler, Hunter, Dylan, I even know a Cooper. Also any unusual soap opera name is immediately snapped up by thousands at the same time.
I remember Rebecca Eckler was upset that Gwyneth Paltrow "stole" her idea to name her kid Apple. :D
Then we get really old names recycled, didn't Julia Roberts name her kid Phineas or something?
 
Might not be strange, but I know a couple who named their twin children (Son and Daughter) Luke and Leia
 
Whats so wrong with Norbert and Bertha as names :eek:
