Not In Kansas Anymore (NIKA)

Baby's Named a Bad, Bad Thing

I remember running across this site when we were just starting to think about names for our baby, I think before we even found out we were having a girl. I was just reminded of it again by a post on Blogging Baby, and had to go reread. People have some amazingly silly names for their kids, and the snarky comments of the author are perfect. A few samples after the break:

---

I once met a lady named Rodana. I think she runs a successful internet business.

In her spare time she destroys Tokyo.

---

I was thinking of naming my son Toolio. Does anyone know the origin on that one?
---[Jane] DeSac

Toolio DeSac. Boy, can't think of any way that kid'll get picked on. That's one taunt-proof name there!

---

How about Lou? When I was in England, I heard that name and it seemed to have a little tinkle to it. Randy is good too.

You weren't listening QUITE hard enough in England, were you?

May I suggest:

• Calaya Tanith
  
• Calaya Branwen
  
• Calaya Delphine
  
• Calaya Faerin
  
• Calaya Gwendolen
  
• Calaya Maeve
  
• Calaya Magdalen
  
• Calaya Mairead
  
• Calaya Niamh
  
• Calaya Nimue
  
• Calaya Roisin (ro-SHEEN)
  
• Calaya Siobhan (sha-VON)
  
• Calaya Talwen
  
• Fainne Maeve
  
• Fainne Roisin
  
• Fainne Tanith

No. No, you bloody well may not suggest them. Please leave us alone and resume reading "The Annotated Legends of the Runes of the Mystical Arthurian Knighthood of the Sacred Circle of the Shield of the Spell-Casting Princess Faeries of the Grail of Blackwynne Castle. Book II."
