What the hell is wrong with people? I just think the worst for the child if their parents think it’s right to name them Hippo, Burger, [name]Haven[/name]'t and Ball?!

[name]Just[/name] plain wrong, I can seriously see why some countries have a list or rules for what names can be used. It’s about time we brought that in to help these poor children. [name]Even[/name] I’d go as far as saying I’d rather see a million and one little girl’s named [name]Jack[/name], [name]James[/name] and [name]Joseph[/name] than Hippo, Burger and Ball!!!

I feel really sorry for some of these children and if I was one of them I would definitely be changing my name by the time I reached 18. Is is weird that I know someone with the name [name]Jagger[/name]? I honestly thought it was a little strange (especially since he is named after [name]Mick[/name] [name]Jagger[/name]) but its completely strange on a girl! I also know a little boy named Jaeger (as in the brand), very strange!

But seriously? Goodluck, Google and oh my favourite, Hippo?! Who has the right to name thier kid after a ‘fat’ animal. [name]Do[/name] they want their child to be like that when they are older? Ya’know some people really comfue me :confused: [name]Queenie[/name] is actually a legit name but not something I would use. Juju is a nickname for [name]Juliette[/name] or [name]Julianna[/name] but Im not really sure it can stand on its own. sigh
[name]Bree[/name]

I like [name]Jazzy[/name], [name]Sesame[/name] and Crusoe! Some of these are horrible though, Casanova, Drifter, Exodus, Goodluck, Google, Popeye, [name]Rogue[/name] and Elite, Thinn, Jury, Couture and J’[name]Adore[/name]? Nooooo!

Interesting that someone called their kid Four. That’s maybe the last number I’d name a baby.
