On the lighter side

This site made me laugh so hard I cried. I can't believe what some people name their kids!

This is hilarious. It's no wonder kids can't spell anymore. Most of those baby names are far worse than what their older siblings would have picked out. For example my daughter wants to name her future siblings KLOVE and Rainbow. My friend's daughter wants to name her baby sister (on the way) Tinkerbell...Tink for short.

I'm pretty sure that on paper my children will be mistaken for elderly folk with names like Robert and Amelia, but those are the names they're getting gosh darnit!

At least Robert and Amelia are normal names! I love the name Amelia. At the moment, my first boy will be Gabriel, and my girl Miranda Jane.

I like both of those. Gabriel - Hero of God. Good one.

Amelia's middle name will be Jane as well. Of course assuming God gives her to us. ;)

For a really long time I didn't like the name Jane, but I think all the 19th century literature I've been reading has made it more appealing.

that is a scream. I personally feel sorry for any kid with the name "Heart" or "Heaven" or anything that sounds like a boys name or a girls name when the kid in question is the other sex.

I think I'll stick to fairly normal...

There's normal, there's normal but uncommon for the era (shoot, even Bertha was a common name at one time), and then there's all the other "names" and butchered spellings that you saw. I gave my friends a hard time for spelling their daughter's name AnnaBella, yes, capital B and no space, but they could have done far worse.
