I met a little boy with ADHD named Rowdy the other day. I asked his mom if it was a nick name because he was so...out of control. Alas, it was not.

WDYT?

Personally, I think it's a pretty dumb name, regardless of how fitting.

That is too unfortunate. It's like they walked into their own fate when they named him something that idiotic.

Really cute on a kid, not so much on an adult, unless he grows up to be a rodeo rider or a gambler.

Hmmm....I used to know a little boy (also very ADD-ish) named Rowdy, but it was really just a nickname for Rutherford. :)

That's not good. But also, it reminds me of Vanity Fair.

I knew a sibset - Rowdy and Randy. I just assumed that their mom was a cowgirl and their dad was a porn director.

at church summer camp, there was a little girl named rebel. her mom seemed dismayed that the girl lived up to her name... wasn't she asking for it?

haha that's what ancient romans would call "nomen omen", that is, a name that foretold the kind of person you would be ;)

sad, in this case, also considering Rowdy is so much of a dog's name.. it's even the name of the fake dog in ScrubS! XD

Haha, Rowdy the stuffed dog was the first thing I thought of, too.

I agree, horrible, either way. Maybe they'll learn a lesson from this and name the next one Angel (wow, what a sibset that would be).

He was doomed from the start.

There's someone in my Oct 06 babies community who has a son who's middle name is Rowdy. I can't remember the first name offhand.

Just imagine what it'll be like for him when he's and adult
