Number names

Naming your kid after numbers.


I think it was here, but maybe not, there was an article where the author was Jennifer 8. _last name and was from some-sort of asian decent (chinese or japanese or something). Her parents, in her native language's symbols, had put the symbol for the number eight as her middle name because it meant strength (or wisdom or something, i can't recall). In english her middle name is actually Eight, but she shortens it with 8.

Ok, now that i'm done rambling on that, I had the weirdest dream the other night that I had a 3-year-old little boy and I had named him Eleven. I woke up, totally weirded out and then it reminded me of a Married with Children section where they took care of a boy named Seven for a few episodes. I told my boyfriend about all this and he said it's be really funny if we DID name our son Eleven. I hoped he was kidding. But it made me think, would anyone really name there kid a number (in english)?

Would you?

I wouldn't do that to my kids.
