Baby Naming for Evil Parents! [Archive]

For years I've enjoyed the idea of naming my future child "Funner." Because it sounds like a name, but it's not and it makes me laugh. I've been informed this is an "English major joke."

Then today I saw this:

Again I thought omgbabynames! :)

At UT, there's the Hogg auditorium, named after Ima Hogg. I assume her parents were evil.

So, if you were feeling deliciously evil, what would you name your child?

I have to think more about what I would name my child if I were truly evil lol...but I do have a name to throw into the thread. Years ago I knew a couple who named their daughter Huckleberry Flynn. :blink:

There was a family in the news of late, who had a child named Adolph Hitler and whatever the last name was. That's a pretty cruel joke to play on a kid for the rest of their life.

My Mom worked for the states Vital Statistics department for 15 years. They keyed all birth and death certificates for the state. You'd be amazed at the names people come up with for their children. Evil or not. It's comical but sometimes sad. Sometimes people name their kid something and would spell the name the way they said it instead of what we know as the correct spelling. A guy I work with has a new baby, he named her Meadow Spring, with the correct spellings and no they are not Native American.

NEWARK, N.J.—A New Jersey couple who gave their three children Nazi-inspired names is due in court Monday to try to regain custody of their newborn.
Heath and Deborah Campbell's lawyer says state child welfare officials took custody of the child named Hons after he was born Thursday at Hunterdon Medical Center.

The state took custody of the couple's other children nearly two years ago, saying there were in danger because of previous violence in the Campbell home.

Their parents made headlines in 2009 when a supermarket refused to decorate a birthday cake for their son, Adolf Hitler. His siblings are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation and Honszlynn Hinler.

True story:

My ex's identical twin sister married a guy with the last name of "Dick" (when the stoopid began). They named their daughter "Anita" and didn't figure it out until years afterwards. :|

Sometimes, the only reason for this kinda stuff is just pure stupidity. :blink:

Incidentally, the girl now goes by "Anne".

Thank Jeebuz. :praying:

I do believe I am one of those evil parents...lol It wasn't intentionally mean, but I gave my son a family name. Which I didn't realize sounded so quirky until after the fact.

His first name is Sterling.

Our last name is Silvers. :|

Needless to say, he goes by his middle name...lol

But your name is short for something. Try living with an Italian last name that rhymed with macaroni.

:blink:

I've been told that I would be cruel if I had a daughter and named her what I wanted to name her. Molly. Well, that's not the cruel part they said, but I'm not singing the full name (it MUST be sung) here.

I'm actually a proponent for unusual names. I hate it when the parent takes the spelling of it completely overboard to the point where the kid doesn't know how to spell their own name until they are in middle school.

My all time favorite is a friend of mine, Dr. Head! And he's gay! LOVE!

Wow this one jolted my memory. I was in Job Corp and there was a young woman there from the midwest. Her name was Gaye Head. I was 18 years old and I thought to myself, what were her parents thinking.

(No, she was not queer by any stretch of the imagination. Straight as an arrow.)

My mom and I were talking today and I just had to share this. She said she asked my aunt this morning who bought the house in front of her. My aunt replied it was a school teacher. My mom then asked who. My aunt said her name is.... Mrs. Blackboard! I don't know her first name but it just cracked me up nonetheless.

Yes! That is a name you don't hear anymore. The only Gladys I can think of was the neighbor lady, character, in the TV series, "Bewitched." Mrs. Kravitz, Gladys Kravitz.

I can't remember what happened yesterday but I can remember this character's name. Funny how that goes.

I still remember one old headstone in a cemetary that had nothing else carved on it except the name "Bad Boy". Also, an obituary notice in my local paper stated someone's first name as being "Useless". I named one of my furkids "Number One", and when he hears the number one, he looks up lol!

Number One reminds me of Star Trek and Jean Luc Picard.

That's one hot bald guy.

:stillheart:

Yes, because it's unlikely that you'll be able to provide her with Pips, which IS the official Gladys requirement.

Well, you can make her middle name Bee and change your last name to Nice. Or you can change your last name to Knight and she may pop out the Pips later lol!

[QUOTE=Gemme;471925]This family stresses me out. I fear for the children.

Gemme, I really don't think that some people grasp the severity of this story . These parents must be mentally ill or not having a clue whatsoever about these names how deep in history it's damaging these kids .

I feel for the children . Not only they would be raised in hate , but not giving option to kids choose they lifestyle . I am not sure how much impact would be here on them , except being humiliated by they peers .

In Europe , just try to introduce yourself " Hello , I am Adolf Hitler , nice to meet you "

It's just beyond my mind and I do understand it's your choice to name your child , but come on . This is sick !!!

Sadly, I think they do (have a clue, that is). I think they are passing their personal beliefs down to their children, without any thought for the children's safety and emotional health.

If the boy had just been named Adolf, that's one thing. Adolph actually means 'noble wolf' or 'noble hero' and I could see how someone might like that for their child. Lines would still be drawn but they could wiggle out of using the origin of the name. Using the full name and then naming succeeding children equally horrific names just speaks volumes about these people.

Maybe they do have emotional and/or mental issues. I don't give a rat's patootie about them, though. It's the children I'm concerned about.

I definitely agree with you.

The parents have lost custody of all four of their kids, including their newborn. I wonder if the state changed the kids' names or if they will have to grow up with them?

I think there should be some circumstances where you can get a free name change if your name is awful enough.

A spokeswoman for the New Jersey Division of Youth and Family Services said she could not discuss individual cases but added: "We would never remove a child simply based on their name." (http://www.thejc.com/news/world-news/58846/parents-lose-custody-adolf-hitlers-baby-brother)

Some reports say there was violence in the home, while others say the agency does not reveal information on individual cases. The fact that the doctor alerted the agency of their latest child's birth - I just wonder how that works. Did the doctor see evidence of violence or drug use? Or did the doctor just happen to know these were the hitler parents? That part confuses me a bit. I did know somebody who had CPS show up at the birth of her child. She was a recovering meth addict and had had two children taken away from her due to her history. CPS didn't take the kid because the father was willing to take custody and had no prior record - and because the mom was clean through the pregnancy. (The father had total custody and regular CPS checkups anyway. The things you hear when you drive a big white cargo van - "I thought you were CPS!") But I still don't know how the hospital knows to notify CPS unless its somehow in the medical record.

I tried to talk her out of it but she just wouldnt listen, said she wanted the names to be different.

We've an inmate who suffers through life with the name, Esperanza143. Yes, she actually was named at birth, with all I can figure is, an internet handle.

The saddest part however, is I believe, Esperanza143, sorta translates to English to mean...Hope, and the 143 is a text code for I Love You. Soooo...best I can figure, her name is..."I hope I love you".
