Frodo and Morpheus...I'm sorry but I'm going to have nightmares of Matrix and LOTR crossovers tonight.

[masokiss.livejournal.com]

LOL Blackbird really got me. Maybe the next one will be called caterpillar or something wild lol

[anamericanchild.livejournal.com]

lol.

[sunshinefleur.livejournal.com]

I think this lady is freaking crazy, fwiw.

anyways. I like Patrick and Eli, Stephen is NMS but nice, and the rest suck. Morpheus? seriously? my mind keeps wanting to read that as Morphine. D:

[anamericanchild.livejournal.com]

Horrible story. Horrible names... for the most part. I actually like Malachai, Patrick and Eli.

[masokiss.livejournal.com]

My second eldest is called Malakai. All mine have unusual yet old names but hell this pushes all boundaries.

[holidaylights.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure the numbers listed are the ages of the children.

[masokiss.livejournal.com]

My Norwegian husband has a hard time understanding half of the names we brits give our children as it is. This will keep him amused for hours hahah x

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

I wish every country had a naming law....

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

who the fuck names their kid Baudelaire? that's... priceless lmao I mean yes, I have Poe on my list of middle names but as a first name? Has anyone here READ Baudelaire that doesn't see a problem with that??

um okay what was she on after Stephen?? though Echo and Eli are alright.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

LOL! I have to admit I like the sound of Baudelaire....but I promise no one who has ever read Baudelaire has ever named their child Baudelaire LOL.

Good gods, wth?
A kid almost every year after Patrick and she's going to keep going until she has twins? *rolls eyes* Some people... D:<

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

You have to feel bad for the children. But what do you feel worse about? The fact that they have some of the worst names possible...or because their mother is insane and they get to live with the knowledge that she only had them, and their brothers and sisters, in a desperate attempt to have multiples, so they automatically, from the time they were conceived, even though it was planned, will never live up to the expectations of their parents. They will never be good enough because there weren't two of them.

[masokiss.livejournal.com]

Good point :(

[lovablemess.livejournal.com]

What are the chances of having triplets, or even twins, these days without the help of fertility treatment?

But wow, some of those names are really special.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Well, the odds are the same as they ever were. Twins, triplets, even quintuplets have happened throughout human history without the slightest help from technology. But I kind of think that if the multiple thing ran in her genes, it would have come out by now.

[pollysweet.livejournal.com]

I believe the odds for a particular woman go up however with each pregnancy and with age, so she is likely to have some eventually I guess, if she continues. However, I don't think she should make any twins she might have out to be more special than the other children.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wonder how things will turn out when/if she finally has twins and they just turn out to be normal-baby-times-2. Will it make her face reality and become less crazy? Or will it shatter her mind and make things worse?

[sarahness.livejournal.com]

Voohrees, as in, Jason the psycho chainsaw killer?

Creepy.

[mommyaubrey.livejournal.com]

i'm glad the government is paying for her to have children to name ridiculous things.

[starskye.livejournal.com]

;) yep

[starskye.livejournal.com]

she'll have a uterine prolapse before she has twins. Sicko.
I'm glad we're paying for christmas at her house

[jeklnskinsgrl.livejournal.com]

And I thought naming my son, 8 weeks, Ezra was weird.

[masokiss.livejournal.com]

God i want that name so bad for my baby (due feb 10). My Hubby is having non of due to a bad name association :( Settled on Floyd instead xx

[harinakshi.livejournal.com]

I'm also due February 10th. LOL:)

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

This lady just needs to get The Sims.

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Yessss. LOL.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

I want to speak up in defense of this lady. Despite some of her insane naming choices (Frodo? Seriously? Though I kind of like Peppermint), she is having children because she wants them. She is taking good care of them and giving them a good environment. As opposed to the crack ho down the street who has five kids because she's too stupid/irresponsible/high to hand her man a condom, and lets them run wild in the street, where they join gangs trying to get some sense of family. Is this lady a little nutty? Yes, probably. Is it ideal that taxpayers are helping her reproduce? No, but taxpayers are paying for the crack ho's food stamps, too. And those children's reduced-cost lunches, and remedial school help, and prison cells when they get older.

This lady could be a lot worse.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

She is taking good care of them and giving them a good environment.

Sorry but I feel I need to point out that no, no she's not... tax payers are and I think it's sad that she's having them because she wants TWINS not because she wants them. Don't get me wrong, I totally see what you're saying but to me this lady and the crack whore have ONE difference and that is that the crack whore is getting high from crack and this lady on the idea that she will have twins one day... she is having kids other people are taking care for just because she can basically... she doesn't have money to afford them...

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

She is taking care of them; even if she is using other people's money to do so, she is still the one cooking the meals, washing the clothes, cleaning the house, etc. And many people use government assistance of one sort or another, even if it's just a tax break for having a big family, that's government aid for children you chose to have. I admit I would have more respect for her if she'd chosen to stop at the number of kids she and the father could support on their own, but if you want to have a big family and the government provides the aid you need to do that, I can understand thinking, why not? I admit the twin thing is nutty, but you don't know if the reporter might have misinterpreted her or if she was serious. Anyway how many second and third daughters exist because the parents wanted to try for a boy? (Or vice versa.) It doesn't mean the parents don't love their child once she/he arrives.

I just think that of all the ways to end up on government assistance, doing it because you love children and want a big family is probably not the worst.

[requiem-morrow.livejournal.com]

Frodo, Peppermint, Blackbird, and Voorhees....I'm speechless.

I dig Malachai, Echo, Baudelaire, and Eli, though...can even forgive Artemis (if its a girl...a boy named Artemis...well....)

[pollysweet.livejournal.com]

Well, the names are certainly crazy. The funny thing is that I don't mind that fact as much as I mind the fact that they have a few normal names thrown in. lol They just don't fit with the others.
I am not going to say anything against the woman wanting lots of children, I hate it when people try to tell others how many they should have. But, I do wonder how all the kids will feel if she finally has twins. She already talks like those twins will be more important than all the others.
Also, I can't believe how much personal/financial info is in this article. Seems very nosy indeed.

[amandidda.livejournal.com]

Please dont tell me Peppermint's middle name is Patti.

[evil-laugher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, from another article I saw, Malachai and Eli are named after characters from "Children of the Corn", Voorhees... you know who, Baudelaire and Artemis children's book characters, Rogue, Frodo and Morpheus sci-fi/fantasy characters, and Blackbird and Ehco incidental things from during the pregnancy.

...

Yup.
