Gem of the day

So, when thinking about middle names for children, there are many schools of thought. One middle or Two? Honoring names? Is flow important? Something fun and playful ie Danger?

Well, here's the gem I came across at work today....BabyJoker

I think middle names are fair game to a point. my friend's gave her son the middle name "danger". but babyjoker is kind of ridiculous.

I can't lie, I kinda dig Danger LOL

Not only is that not remotely funny, but it'll be even less funny when he's an adult. Proving yet again that many parents don't realize that their baby won't always be a baby.

Better the middle name than the first. *shrug*

I agree. I thought my cousin's middle name "Cash" was kinda weird back then (he's 15-16ish now) but it could be a lot worse.

my friend's friend's baby's name is Blue Danger

That is pretty horrible. For the most part, I think middle names are ones you can just go crazy with, but that is a bit much.

I don't know if *I* would ever give my kid a ridiculous middle name like that, but frankly, it's the middle name. It's almost never used and it won't screw up their lives, so go for it!

Honestly, I think my biggest problem is the use of Baby....Hi, I'm a 50 year old man and my middle name is Baby. Mind you, I don't like Baby on girls either lol.

I wish LJ had a 'like' button. Not that I'd name MY child Blue Danger...but I like it!

BabyJoker... yeah, I only wish it were a joke...

The middle name is a great place for names you can't quite bring yourself to use as a first-- a beloved relative's ugly or boring name, a guilty pleasure, an almost-outgrown old favorite, something more whimsical and exciting than you want to deal with on a daily basis. But it's still your child's NAME. Whimsical does not equal punchline.

the story was they wanted there kids to be able to say his middle name was danger.
i also new a couple who had a daughter named dakota blue. which is a cool name, but i wouldn't use.
