9 Baby Naming Rules from GQ

Thought some of you may enjoy a laugh, courtesy of GQ: The GQ Guide to Naming Your Baby

I appreciated [name]Rule[/name] #4: “[name]Don[/name]'t abuse the letter y

[name]Just[/name] a warning, there’s some “adult language” in the article.

Loved it! Made me laugh out loud!

It’s good advice. I’ve been guilty of #2. :>

Hahahahaha… Thanks for sharing.
I particularly love #4, #6, #8.

Hilarious! I loved the advice: “[name]Don[/name]'t abuse the letter y. It’s an emergency vowel, not a megavowel!”

Phenomenal article, a very enjoyable read. I agree with everything.

I’m afraid the writer is giving someone ideas.

I’m just envisioning JaxXxon and M’rtyn. And someone is going to use Krystougher, I know it. I mean, really! What’s not to love? [name]How[/name] many rules does that break, anyway?

I loved this article! Living in Los [name]Angeles[/name] though, there’s definitely an unspoken one-up game of the most creative or unusual name for children among certain types of parents.

Hilarious! Thanks for sharing.

I love it! Hahahaha I love the apostrophe one. :slight_smile:

So funny! Krystougher kills me!

The only part I disagree with is not naming your child after a character in Twilight. I adore several of those names ([name]Edward[/name], [name]Alice[/name], [name]Rosalie[/name], [name]Jasper[/name], [name]Emmett[/name]). They are not made up, “stupid” names.
