There was a Bonniest Baby Competition in my local newspaper a while ago.

You got a free supplement with the paper containing a picture and the name of all the babies entered.

the one name that stuck in my mind:

Serenity-River 

she had a middle name and a double barrelled surname as well.

in my opinion its a horrible name 

WDYT?

The name itself is bad (River is too masculine for a girl, and most concept/virtue names are best left alone), but then it's hyphenated, too? With a double last name? Ugh. Some parents. Are they hippies at least? Serenity-River sounds so New Age.

So the parents were Firefly fans? :) If that's the case, then I like it!

...i actually like it. i don't really like serenity by itself, though.

but i think it's weird she has a hyphenated first name & a double last name.

Ugh. I don't actually mind Serenity too bad (though I'd never use it) and I like River on a boy, but TOGETHER?! Ugh.

Wow, this really makes me wonder about the demographics of my fellow Firefly fans...I hope the rest of them don't have such poor taste.

I like the name River in Firefly, but not as a name for a kid.
