Ok so this one is a little bit crazy.
I read in a magazine today about a family with 13 children, the children all have incredibly obscure names, most of them based on characters from films.

Sara - Mum, 39
Stephen - Dad, 40


Children:
Stephen(m) - 13 (they started of pretty normal)
Malachai (m) - 12 (named after the character in 'Children of the Corn')
Peppermint (f) - 11
Echo (m) - 10
Rogue (f) - 8 (after the X-men character)
Frodo (m) - 7 (as in Frodo Baggins)
Morpheus (m) - 5 (The Matrix)
Artemis (m) - 4 ( as in Artemis Fowl)
Blackbird (f) - 3
Baudelaire (f) - 2 (the surname of the children in A Series of Unfortunate Events )
Voorhees Halloween - 11 months ( as in Jason Vorhees in Friday The 13th)

Most of them made me go wtf?? but i have to say Baudelaire is an incredible guilty pleasure of mine.

I've heard about this family. Ridiculous. I do agree that Baudelaire is pretty cool, and there's nothing wrong with Artemis either.

Echo isn't so bad--a little hippie-ish, but I knew someone in high school named this.

Peppermint screams either My Little Pony or porn star, take your pick. And Voorhees Halloween? Seriously, that should be considered child abuse!

Sounds like these parents aren't too mature...

All I think of is Peppermint Patty from Charlie Brown.

My brain started to bleed after Malachai. I still have nightmares from that movie & I haven't watched it since I was a kid. Poor kid!

I like Rogue, Echo (but as a female name), Artemis, and Baudelaire. Frodo is meh - mostly because I have never seen it used anywhere other than LOTR. Peppermint and Voorhees Hallowen are just awful :(

I like Echo as a girls name, and I actually do like Blackbird.

This was posted not too long ago, but it wasn't told whether they had done the tv/film thing on purpose so that's interesting at least.

I've always liked Aremtis (she has always been my favorite goddess), but...I wouldn't use it on my child. Espeically since it would probably end up being shortened to Art or Arty, both of which I loathe.

I also kind of like Echo.

I'm sure Stephen Jr is thanking the good Lord that his parents didn't decide to get creative until after he came along!

Frodo and Voorhees Halloween are definitely the worst of the names. Peppermint... that's kinda cute. Haha. :x

I knew a guy with the middle name Voorhees.
