#1 Names Thread: Baby Naming: NOT a place to depart from convention

Breanna · July 13th, 2012

Today I was looking through baby name lists on a parenting forum.

Some of these names are absolutely horrible and I can't comprehend how people could actually consider them for the name of their child, let alone go through with it and name them that.

Here are some of the more particularly horrible ones from a discussion about 'manly' masculine names for boys:

Gage
Ryker
McCoy
Grady
Buckshot
Cale
Brecken
Bridger
Keegan
Rawson
Crawfin
Rayen
Cooper
Westley
Kai
Corbin
Raymin
Jace
Landon
Tyree
Coty
Zeke
Zake
Henzley
Teagan

One woman suggested "My son's name is Ryder Greer and I find that his name as a big input on people."

I knew a girl who named her daughter Kinlee... not chinese. A white girl.
I knew a little blonde girl named Charity.
There was an Italian girl, not sure how her name was spelled, but spoken it sounded like Tits-ee-anna.

I find it extremely difficult to come up with good names for children. I don't like names that are too common (like Hannah, Emma, Emily, etc) and I hate it that a bunch of names that are thought of as 'white' names are actually biblical and come from Hebrew names (Michael, Joseph, Mark, etc).
