Oh, no, they REALLY named their kid that??

[golfgal]

I know, there are a lot of posts on this but I was just looking at the baby photo site from our old town and someone named their kid a name that will get bleeped out here if I posted what it really is. It is Dar(curse word for poop).

First thing I thought of was it is an ethnic name. I looked it up and sure enough it is. Are they Indian by any chance?

It's a Hindu name that means "Respect". It's probably an old family name, and they may not have even noticed the "extra" word in there.

I'm sure there's plenty of normal Western names that mean something rude in other languages and cultures. For instance, even though it's not a common baby name anymore, older women are sometimes named "Fanny" in the US and at worst we think it's a cute name for a person's tuckus. Want to guess what a "Fanny" is in the UK?

Let's not even talk about the nickname for Richard...

On Letterman last night he did the top ten on the baby name "Facebook". Apparently a family in Egypt names their baby Facebook in honor of the site which enabled them to spread the word for their protests. No idea if it is true or not...just saying that's a new one on me , for sure!

It's probably pronounced Dar-seet.

Always wondered how folks named "RAndy" are received in the UK....

Or the former NASCAR driver whose last name was Trickle and they did not call him Richard.

I don't get the thing about the name Randy

Randy= horny


When I was in China a few years back, we were working with Chinese university students as our interpreters. Each student gave themselves an "American" name for us to call them by. We had a "Julie", a "Steve", a "Brittaney" and a"Cleany...who I assume was the 8th dwarf.

I heard this on the radio. I liked what one person said when they called in about it. They basically said that this wasn't just some random teenager who named their kid after Facebook, this was a family that was so grateful for what was done that they named their child after something that had true meaning in our lives. That is what we do all the time. How many people look up what a name means or name their children after something that is special to them? I do wonder what the Egyptian word is for Facebook, maybe it sounds very pretty.

Uncommon spellings of common names have tripped me up a couple of times recent.
Eriika instead of Erika or Erica.
Mellisa instead of Melissa.

Some of the made up names get me too....like Girlscoutcookieisha.

Okay, I want proof that "Girlscoutcookieisha" was ever a name! (I even tried googling it, but no luck.)

If I could get my hands on a girl scout cookie right now I'd agree to name my baby "Girlscoutcookieisha"!

Based on the baby's picture and the parent's names they are probably Somalian. I know it is an ethnic name but if I were living in a different country I would look into these things before naming my baby.
