Is it just me or are baby names getting weirder and weirder?

Everyones trying to come up with something interesting or unique, but some of these names are just crazy!

Is it just me or are baby names getting weirder and weirder?
names are getting weirder and weirder!


people are either making up names, or taking simple names and using ridiculous spellings that butcher the name completely.
Reply:i think you're right. McKenna for a girl's first name? Seriously? Especially since the "mc" prefix literally means "son of."





i think that the recent trend of couples choosing 'old-fashioned' names (i.e. Emma, Olivia) is a retaliation of against the made-up names while still an attempt to give their child a unique name. But once their child hits preschool their going to learn how common their choice has become.
Reply:Yes I agree





I most people give normal names





Some of the names are awful


Some of the surnames like Campbell is awful for a first name


Bronx, Tripp, Sailor are all awful names for children





I think people trying to be different, they are being mean to their child
Reply:yes i agree...when my daughter was in the NICU there was a couple next to us who decided to name there daughter Alexis...which i think is cute until i heard what there oldest daughter's name was, Mercedes! and they told the nurse that if they have another girl they were going to name her Porsche!! those poor children
Reply:Names are getting weirder, but its better than knowing 5 people with the same name. I think names should be different enough to be unique, but not crazy enough that the poor child needs therapy.
Reply:It's not just you, they are. I've heard of some names that sound like they come from some crazy language and other names that are the same as objects! It's getting crazy.
Reply:i dont mind, i think we need wierder names, normal names are okay, but i think this society needs more of a variety to add more to our culture
Reply:I agree.


Another thing I'm seeing is people turning simple names complicated.
Reply:I kknow...i think people are just tryin to be cool its sad. Whats wrong with pretty timeless names like William?? I think these days William is more unique than all the stupidddd Jaydens
Reply:I agree. People are a little obsess with "special names".
Reply:I could not agree more....it's really annoying when some one takes a perfectly fine name and then tries too hard to make it different...they end up screwing it up!
Reply:I totally agree.
Reply:yeh that true





pretty soon the older names will be the unique ones
Reply:i couldn't agree more. I mean Nevaeh? Really Ameria?
Reply:yeah i agree


things like Nevaeh prove my point.
Reply:agreed. but i like the craziness
Reply:Yeah it's stupid..for instance, grayson is not a girls name! What the heck?
