O.K. my rant is about parents that name their new baby a name that is incredibly dumb or just NOT FAIR? Why is this...a poor innocent, sweet little baby with a name given that they have no say over and it's pretty much forever (unless the child hates it so much that they go to all the effort to have it changed on their own) but in the meantime, for how many years they have to put up with kids (or even adults) making fun of their names...
Every Sunday our Arizona newspaper puts the "NEW ARRIVALS" listing them by first, all the girls, their parents names, the newborns' name and their weight. Yay! I always have fun reading this and seeing what people name their children. Today just seemed so unfair for some of these sweet little newborns...
There is listed under 'daughters' normal names like: (First and middle names included):
Grace Kathleen, Mia Lourdes, Sage Marie Spence, Rylee Jane, Peyton Leigh, Chrissa Sueann, Aliviah Nicole, Romina Elizabeth, Paige Brooklynne,
And 'sons' like: Garrett Edward, Garrett Dale, Brent Hamilton, James Johnathan, Franco Santiago Castanedo, Kaden Michael, and William Edward...
Then there's poor little Summer Julie Escobar (born in the Fall)...but Summer isn't t-h-a-t bad, but what about poor Romina Mu, or Monica Nevaeh Unique Lee and poor little Skye Raye Light. How many people are going to say, uh what....Oh, Skye, you give such a beautiful Light or Sky Light, you're much cuter than the sky light in my bathroom, or say she decided to go with her middle name instead so there won't be so many jokes and that doesn't even work, Raye of Light....why didn't the parents put "OF" in there as a middle name? And Son, Xander Ryder Comer (actually Xander is kind of cute) but the name doesn't exactly flow, he might be in 6th grade before he can say his name, and poor "Jose Guadalupe Maldonado" may learn to spell his name by 6th grade!
OK, enough of the ranting...I feel better now that I got that off my chest!
