Hmmm....

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

 There are a lot of names that make me go hmm.....and I am pretty broadminded about names. There is one thing that really gets me though - titles as names. I know it sounds weird since I don't have a problem with "job" names (Thatcher, Archer, etc), but title names irk me. Today I met a boy named Sir Charles Edward (last name). Until recently I had a client named Sir Reece (last name). He went by Sir. I don't think Lady, Countess, or Princess are good names. One of my coworkers has a cousin named Sir Mister (last name). We also had a client named Mister President (last name that rhymed with mister). 

Records also show a Sir James, Sir Mack, Sir Dawn, Sir Bryan, Sirdarrius John, Sir Jonathan, Sir Charlton Edward, SirGaren DeMale, Sir George, Sir Gregory, Sir Christian, SirKendrick, Sir Larry,  SirElen Ray, Sir England Dominique, Sir Erok Edwin Dawon Goodwin, Sir Christopher, Sir Jermaih, SirJames, and Sir Melvin James.

Now, most of these names are fine names. James is one of my favorites. The Sir ruins it for me. WDYT?

Their first name is Sir? I don't understand.

Yup. First names are Sir. The Sir Mister one was explained to me - the parents wanted their son to always be addressed with respect. Faulty logic, but thats what they said.

Who would name their kid SIR? that's so ridiculous. and the fact that there are so many...it baffles me.

I know of a girl named Precious...it just doesn't make sense to me.
